Absolutely. Most people who enjoy the Sing for Hope Pianos are amateurs who just want to have some fun, including many children who are experiencing a piano for the first time!

Seriously, it’s okay. The Sing for Hope Pianos aren’t about making perfect music (whatever that is!); they’re about creating spontaneous moments of community. Have a seat and see what happens!

Sure! Grab a piano-playing friend and bring your mat! The Sing for Hope Pianos are there for you to enjoy in all manner of possible community engagement: dance parties, musical meditations, sing-alongs — let your imagination take over.

There’s no time limit, but we ask all visitors to the Sing for Hope Pianos to be respectful of the people around them. Please try not to monopolize the piano if there are others waiting to play.

Please do! We encourage you and your organization(s) to share concerts, lessons, etc. on the Sing for Hope Pianos as much and as often as you like. That said, please do note our emphasis on flexibility with event start times. You may arrive to a five-year-old’s first tour of the keys, etc. — so you’ll want to be flexible with your start time and mindful of the communal kindness at the heart of the program.

No. We are all about an old-school acoustic vibe (and you sound gorgeous without a mike, by the way). To that point, did you know that the piano was originally called the pianoforte, Italian for soft-loud, because of its gorgeous range of dynamics, from pianissimo (super soft) to your fortissimo (super loud)? So get out there and explore all of your volume levels, but without amplification, please.

No permit is needed if your performance is being recorded or live streamed using any of the following nonprofessional items: hand-held camera, cell phone, tripod on piano or selfie stick, small tripod, and if it is for non-commercial use such as social media/personal use. Written permission is required from the site hosting the Sing for Hope Piano if commercial equipment is being used, if there is use of the public right of way, if your recording/video equipment blocks the sidewalk, and/or if you are intending to market any of the footage or photos, now or in the future.
