"Dan Phelps' piano playing is the perfect accompaniment to any relaxation or beauty treatment. His album 'Serenity' has been created to last a duration of one hour, providing fluid, delicate and calming piano sounds as a background for treatments. My clients often compliment the music and have been known to purchase copies of the album to take home in order recreate the relaxing environment. From a therapist point of view, it's wonderful to have real music playing, rather than artificial sounds. Some clients complain about relaxation music and criticise bird-song and dolphin noises. There's no fear of that with Dan Phelps' music. It's a quality recording of genuine musical talent. I highly recommend that you purchase 'Serenity' and am certain that it will add a touch of class to any treatment room."
