Having a piano in your home is a huge privilege. It can change the entire atmosphere of a room, and the entire learning experience of a player.
But…pianos are expensive. We get it. Stepping into a music store can be an overwhelming experience, and it’s hard to know what to buy, whether to buy or rent, or whether to just download GarageBand and try to learn chopsticks on your phone.
If you are a family in real need of a piano, we would love to hear from you. Our program runs exactly the same way as when your class looked after the school hamster - some lucky person gets to take it home and look after it, on the proviso that it survives safely until its next host family! We currently have one upright Zimmerman piano called Zimmy, who travels from home to home on a six-monthly basis, provided for free as long as you promise to practice (and wash your hands before you play!). You can follow the musical journey of our piano on instagram, and sign up for your chance to babysit below.
