   This project, partly sponsored by the City of Sydney Council, is an instant success.
   
   I’ve been playing a number of the 30 pianos dotted about Sydney. I studied keyboard with Sergio de Pieri in Venice, Lance Hardy in London and Michel Chapuis at the Paris Sorbonne. At the Woolloomooloo site I played Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier, the first movement of Grieg’s A minor piano concerto [orchestra implied] and a set of Beethoven sonatas.
   
   In my view Sydney Council can do more to sponsor street music. Music is a universal language that says a good life is a happy, healthy life full of expression and engagement with others.
   
   This is why this project is so successful: it engages people.
   
   This project should be a permanent fixture one day every year as part of a council-sponsored Music Day, with music on every major street corner.
   
   Music Day is held in other global cities to celebrate local culture. Why can’t we do the same? Music is part of our inchoate heritage, I say.

   Great fun down at Woolloomooloo at Harry's Café de Wheels. I had to come again the next day and play the piano. Great vege pies, nice vibe,what a good idea. A great opportunity to be spontaneous! Trish.

   Joakim waited patiently to take his turn on the piano - tanned, well built and shirtless.
   What a performance! - Chopin, Rachmaninoff etc
   Obviously in a hurry - please come back Joakim for another preformance - it was wonderful
