Maybe your childhood piano lessons made you never, want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you. Now, thanks to a program in Sydney called "Play Me, I'm Yours", people can play the piano in public places for free. They share beautiful music, and the program also helps them communicate with each other.
The government has placed thirty pianos in different parts of the city, including in several parks, at a bus stop and on some streets. "Play Me, I'm Yours" are written on them. People are invited to play music or sing songs with the pianos. The program has interested lots of people to stop to watch or play the pianos.
"Play Me, I'm Yours" is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist, Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city know each other better. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and busy with their work all hours, and they almost have no chance to enjoy music. So he hopes this can help them relax and make new friends.
The program "Play Me, I'm Yours" has also reached England and Brazil(巴西)before. It was warmly welcomed there. But its greatest success seems to come at the Sydney Festival. "It's a chance for people to be creative, know others better and just have some fun," Jerram said.
