| Prompt: Have fun with these words- talented, adjust, public, nuisance, endorse, strength, strange. stumble and actor. I’ve been watching a new tv series called The Piano. It’s a classy reality show and I throughly endorse it. Here in Australia, and probably all around the world, we have public pianos, they’re regarded as a joy not a nuisance. Anyone who chooses can sit down and play. The pianos are in all sorts of strange places such as shopping malls and railway stations. So normal run of the mill folk who just enjoy playing are invited to come to Sydney’s main railway station and play on the public piano situated at the bottom of the escalators. They know they’re being filmed but don’t know two judges are watching secretly. They’re all talented pianists who play to their strengths and for their own pleasure. The ones that come cover all ages. There have been children as young as five right up to an old man of 103! The judges are pianist, musician and actor Harry Connick Jnr and a famous Australian concert pianist. I loved listening to the individual stories of the pianists. They come from all walks of life and they tell why and how the piano came to be such a large part of their life. Some are breathtakingly brilliant pianists, others play for the pure joy and some take a little time to adjust to playing in public and sometimes stumble over the notes as they play, yet it didn’t detract me from the music and seeing how the instrument fulfilled their lives . A must watch show. |
