Sydney is dancing to a different tune this month thanks to a new exhibition encouraging passers-by to stop and play the piano in the street.

Dozens of instruments have been installed around the city so residents and visitors can showcase their musical talent or just make some noise.

Sydney is dancing to a different tune this month thanks to a new exhibition encouraging passers-by to stop and play the piano in the street.

The streets of Sydney are alive with the sound of music, but some are more tuneful than others.

As part of the Sydney Festival, thirty pianos have been installed around the city, and they're free for anyone to have a go on the roadside, in the library or even in the park.

Yvette Hung, Sydney Resident, said, "I think it's just like music is everywhere, on the street, every corner. It's good, it's a very good idea. And I like the design of the piano, yes."
