AS SEEN IN

A RARE VANCOUVER EXPERIENCE

Beyond the Ordinary
Beyond the Spa

You already know the traditional ways to celebrate, relax, and connect in this city. You’ve done the crowded restaurants, the standard spa days, and the weekend getaways.

Now, you are looking for something rare.

Welcome to Under the Piano.

Located in a private composer’s studio in Vancouver’s West End, this is not a concert. It is not a traditional sound bath. It is an intimate, artist-led encounter with sound, composed entirely for you, in the moment, from your own story.

Whether you are seeking a profound personal reset, a unique anniversary experience, or the ultimate luxury gift for someone who has everything, this is where your story becomes music.

YOUR PRIVATE SESSION

The Under the Piano Experience

Presence, Craft, and Undivided Attention.

When you book an Under the Piano session, you are stepping into a working artist’s world. You will recline comfortably on a plush memory-foam mat directly beneath a 6’4″ Charles R. Walter cherrywood grand piano. For approximately 40 minutes, composer Craig Addy will create five to seven original pieces drawn entirely from a brief, relaxed conversation with you. This is a bespoke private sound experience. There is no playlist. There is no rehearsed performance. Every note is created once, for you alone. Because you are lying beneath the soundboard, you don’t just hear the music—you feel it. The physical resonance of the instrument moves through your body, creating a state of deep relaxation and emotional renewal that our guests describe as entirely one-of-a-kind.

The Enhancements

Fine Beverages

Champagne, local wines, or artisan teas. Chosen to suit the occasion, from celebratory to contemplative.

Artisan Chocolates

Handcrafted chocolates from an award-winning local chocolatier. A small indulgence that deepens the sensory richness of the moment.

Optional Aromatherapy

A curated selection of soothing fragrances. If you have sensitivities, simply let Craig know in advance.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

A Sanctuary for Every Kind of Seeker

Couples & Romantics
Looking for a unique anniversary experience in Vancouver? Share a quiet, profound moment of connection. There is room for two beneath the piano, making this an unforgettable way to celebrate your relationship.

For Meaningful Gifting
When a material object isn’t enough, give the gift of an experience. Under the Piano is the perfect luxury gift for partners, parents, or friends navigating life transitions who need to feel held and heard.

For Personal Renewal
Sometimes you simply need the world to go quiet. This is a private, unhurried space to set it all down and be met with something beautiful.

(Note for Visitors: While this page is designed for our local community, we also offer a specialized West Coast Visitor Experience for discerning travellers and cruise passengers looking for a private Vancouver shore excursion.)

THE KEEPSAKE

Music That Continues Long After the Last Note

Your Under the Piano session doesn’t end when you leave the studio.

Within one to three days, you will receive a professionally produced digital recording of the music composed for you. This is your personal soundscape—music that exists nowhere else in the universe.

Many of our guests tell us they return to these recordings during difficult moments, celebrations, or simply when they need to remember what it feels like to be completely at peace.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING

YOUR HOST & COMPOSER

Craig Addy

Since 2009, I have had the honour of creating over 3,500 unique compositions for guests from around the world — couples, solo travellers, artists, executives, and everyone in between. Music is my language, and my greatest passion is translating the human experience into sound. My studio is my creative home. I look forward to welcoming you into this space and creating something beautiful together — something that is entirely, unmistakably yours.

Under the Piano is a private, by-appointment experience. Craig works with a limited number of guests each week to ensure each session receives his full presence and attention.

    Description

    West Coast Experience Session

    Imagine a custom piano concert just for you. We will have a conversation about your current life experiences, intentions, dreams, and memories. I will then compose 40 to 45 minutes of piano music on the spot to re-create the essence of you and what you share as you lie under my piano.

    Your online experience includes:

    • Soulful Piano Serenades: A culmination of decades of mastery and expertise, you’ll be treated to 40 to 45 minutes of bespoke musical compositions, meticulously crafted to resonate with the essence of your shared stories. This isn’t just music; it’s a deeply personalized musical portrait that transcends the ordinary.
    • Your Personalized Recording: Immortalize your unique musical experience with a recording that allows you to relive those precious moments for years to come. The lasting value of these compositions, preserved for your enjoyment, is a treasure that far exceeds the cost of the session. Choose from a CD, downloadable MP3, or a private online playlist, ensuring your musical memories are always within reach.

    Your in-person experience also includes:

    • Savour & Celebrate: Elevate your experience with a choice of refreshments tailored to your mood. Whether you’re toasting with Champagne or wine, or seeking solace with a selection of fine artisan teas, each sip is designed to enhance the ambiance and add warmth to your session.
    • Award-Winning Chocolates: Indulge in boutique chocolates from a local award-winning chocolatier, a sweet accompaniment to your musical journey.
    • Optional Aromatherapy: Engage another sense with the option of aromatherapy. Choose from a selection of soothing fragrances, or opt out if you have sensitivities.

    Experience the profound connection between music and emotion.

    Sessions are 75 to 90 minutes in duration and include a 15-minute pre-session conversation, a 40 to 45-minute session under the piano, and a 15 to 30-minute completion conversation. However, allow 2 hours for your session. Sometimes conversations last longer.

    Details & Assurance

    A sound bath typically uses pre-set instruments and repetitive patterns. It may evoke feelings, but the instruments themselves do not express emotion. Under the Piano is fundamentally different: Craig composes original music from your story in real time, and the compositions move through a wide emotional range, from tenderness to exhilaration, stillness to release. It is a private, one-on-one encounter with a composer, not a passive ambient experience. No two sessions are ever alike.

    You are visiting a composer’s private, working studio, not a hotel spa or commercial venue. The space is warm, immaculate, and thoughtfully arranged for your comfort. It is also authentically lived-in: this is where Craig creates, where the piano lives, and where over 3,500 compositions have been born since 2009. Guests consistently describe the setting as welcoming, intimate, and exactly right for the experience.

    The studio is in Vancouver’s West End, a leafy, walkable neighbourhood near English Bay, with views of the bay from the studio itself. The seawall is a five-minute walk from the front door, and guests often enjoy a stroll before or after their session. The exact address and arrival details are provided upon confirmation of your reservation.

    Not at all. You do not need to know anything about music, and you choose how much to share. Some guests talk at length about their lives; others simply say how they are feeling in the moment. The music responds to whatever you offer, even comfortable silence.

    Yes. The studio is on the sixth floor, accessible by elevator. You recline on a cushioned memory-foam mat at floor level, and alternative seating is available if needed. Craig prioritizes comfort and dignity for every guest, including those navigating pregnancy or mobility considerations.

    Craig understands the unpredictability of travel. Sessions can be rescheduled, cancelled, or transferred to another person with 24 hours’ notice for a full refund. Less than 24 hours or a no-show incurs a $150 fee. For cruise passengers and business travelers with tight schedules, Craig is flexible and communicative.

    Absolutely. Digital gift certificates are available. Many partners and loved ones reserve this as an anniversary, birthday, or “just because” gift, often for someone who would never reserve it for themselves. Gift recipients schedule their own session at a time that suits their itinerary.
