Like other New York Wedding Pianists, classically trained, Arnie Abrams studied classical, popular and jazz piano in New Haven and subsequently in New York. Later in his career, Arnie’s dad, who was a truly gifted piano player in his own right, trained Arnie to develop his musical ear, and taught him to play by “ear” without the use of sheet music. The combination of his classical, jazz and ear training differentiates Arnie from other professional musicians, and makes him perfect for most weddings, parties, and social gatherings where live music is desired.
Combining these techniques, Arnie learned many of the most wonderful standards that were so popular during the 20th century. Arnie combines his classically trained technique with the style, enthusiasm and “heart” that his dad passed onto him. This unique blend makes Arnie Abrams your number one choice if you are looking to hire a NYC pianist for your private or corporate event!
Check out a small sampling of Arnie’s repertoire. Arnie began his musical career in New Haven as a pianist in many restaurants and piano bars including The Recovery Room (an upscale bar and restaurant that was connected to a hospital!), Tandom’s, The Summit House, 500 Blake Street, and App’s Ristorante just to name a few.
Later in his career, Arnie worked as a booking agent and performing musician for Richard Neal Productions in Hamden, CT, where he learned the music business and worked with many fine musicians performing in a multitude of diverse venues.
Arnie branched into more of a popular piano player in NYC while also performing in his home state of Connecticut, and became known as more of one of the New York pianists since his bookings were more common in the Big Apple. Performing in such venues as the 21 Club, The Algonquin, The Mandarin Oriental, The Waldorf, The Plaza & the Pierre, just to mention a few. He still remains one of the most popular piano players in NYC.
Performing for outdoor weddings as well as in the grandest of churches or temples, New York City pianist Arnie Abrams will help you select the perfect live piano music for your ceremony to frame your wedding and capture the beauty of your special day.
