Paula Arlich comes from a very musical family, so it is no surprise that she was gifted with a special musical talent of her own. Her family realized this when at the age of 3, she kicked her Uncle John (film composer  John Williams) off the piano saying "my turn" and played for the first time. Her grandfather (Johnny Williams, drummer for the Raymond Scott Quintette) believed she had the "musical gene".
Paula began composing at the age of 11 and performing at the age of 13.  Through the Certificate of Merit Program, she earned countless awards for music festivals, musicales, and competitions, and throughout her training, she was awarded top honors for her achievements.
Paula has extensive experience playing for public and private events throughout Southern California, has taught private piano students, accompanied youth, worship and choir groups, and performed with bands and orchestras.  She was musical director for over 20 Broadway musical performances.
 
 

Paula is known for her ability to play virtually any style of music, ranging from jazz standards, contemporary, classical, rock, pop, Broadway, country, and all points in between.  Complete Song List   Her passion always remains the softer, more soothing melodies that she loves to create.
