pianos in melbourne

where are all the pianos hiding?
help us create a map of public pianos in melbourne!

Street Piano Melbourne

Melbourne Piano School is inspired to create a map of pianos in public spaces in Melbourne. We know they're out there..  hidden away in cafes, restaurants, community centres, galleries, etc.. but we need your help to find them!


We get enquiries all the time from people wanting to find a piano to play... whether to simply practice on, or for experienced pianists seeking a venue to perform their work. Once we compile this list of public pianos we'll create a map and publish it here and on social media.

We're categorising the pianos based on whether they are located in a community venue (accessible to the general public), or in a performance venue (available only for hired performances by professional pianists).

If you know of a piano in a public venue in Melbourne you'd like to share with us, please fill out the form below.
