Just another kid playing piano in London

By Mara 7 Comments

Tommy has been taking piano lessons for two years and whenever he sees a piano, he wants to play it. It’s quite sweet actually and I’m glad he has a passion! Introducing him to Piano Lessons Omaha was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Ever since we bought him his first keyboard, he has been obsessed with playing and different music styles. I think the keyboard bought something out of him that we didn’t realise was there and now these piano lessons are helping his creative juices flow. He has even asked about getting a duet piano bench for the keyboard since pianists use it. That reminds me actually, my friend recommended a fantastic website to me the other day. If you are looking for a new beginner’s keyboard piano you can learn more at Amidio.

Tommy playing the piano in London

Of course, Tommy 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.

    I can’t play piano but I’d learn just to be there. It’s an absolutely beautiful background. 🙂

    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. 😉 ).

    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

    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.

    Someone’s trying to tell me something this week – it seems like everyone is buzzing about piano lessons 😉
