This little girl was so excited to play the piano. So glad I had my camera with me when I found the piano so I could take this shot.

The sun seemed to be ever-present in Copley Square. On a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, the piano could be heard even with a loud band across the street and the music punctuated by a constant stream of words from a Whole Foods stage nearby - horseradish, cheese, proteins...

Report this commentI joined some friends to play drums for a Street Pianos bike ride, where we went around to different pianos and played music. When we arrived at the Copley Sq. piano there was a man playing Pink Floyd on the piano, so we all sung along.

It was the first time travelling in Boston and I'm very happy that I still can find the streetpianos in Boston. I like the Boston and I like the places where the piano was put. Enjoy! Fantastic!

Report this commentI'm a Boston singer/songwriter, and met so many great people with the street pianos. I ended up playing 53/75, and performed a different song at each piano, you can watch them all at

My name is Jill Santos and I'm the current Miss Mendocino County from California. My platform is Music and Art Therapy for the Elderly and piano is the main source of therapy I provide for them, which is why finding these pianos was so special to me. I was in Boston for five days for an Alzheimer's Symposium at Harvard with my mom, and as soon as we learned about the pianos, we printed the map and searched for them all! Unfortunately we couldn't extend our trip anymore, but I did find 47 of them. It has been a wonderful adventure and experience playing in special places and meeting new people all over Boston. :)

A duet for six hands. Playing in public for the first time. To standing ovation of course!
