Bringing the world to your kids - and your kids to the world

Just another kid playing piano in London

By 7 Comments

Tommy has been taking piano lessons for two years and whenever he sees a piano, he wants to play it:

Of course, he doesn’t usually have this kind of backdrop:

Playing the piano in front of Saint Paul's Cathedral London

Yes, that’s Christopher Wren’s famous dome of Saint Paul’s Cathedral. Tommy’s best recital sonata echoed across the hot still expanse of Paternoster Square, much to Teddy’s delight. The piano is part of the “Play Me I’m Yours” installation sponsored by the City of London Festival. Thirty street pianos were set up in various locations around the city for three weeks for the public to enjoy.

  2. Oh that looks fun!

    We are traveling the world with a piano playing kid too ( and violin) and we have so enjoyed finding great, unique places to play piano as we go. It is a thrill for the kids, we’ve done it in Vienna, Turkey, London, Seville and a few other places. Always fun !

    ( Although we also travel with our own too in our RV. 😉 ).

  4. We had some in Bristol too a while back – I think these installation ideas do the rounds – it seems almost every city in Europe has some sort of painted animals. I think that music is quite chaming in a public place as long as no-one’s crashing the cords tunelessly which could drive you crazy

  5. How fun! My husband wants my daughter to start piano and funny enough, he wants to learn with her. I think it would be a fun experience for them both.

    1 month ago by motherofalltrips The past week was crummy and discouraging one that left me feeling pretty much like a failure on lots of fronts in my life and also so concerned about the future of our country. But hours in the garden yesterday, a lovely impromptu date with my husband last night and a sweet homemade card from my boys have me feeling better. My favorite part is what both of them said about me - Tommy called me a “fearless political activist” and Teddy said that I “always stand strong for what is right.” I certainly don’t feel like those things are
