00:09Hello and welcome to The Piano. Our busy little upright has been making its way across the
00:14country. Today our piano touches down somewhere new, Sydney International Airport on the traditional
00:23lands of the Dharawal people of coastal Sydney, a place where journeys begin and loved ones return
00:31home, where heartache and joy share the same air. And just when you think it can't get any more
00:37emotional, we wheel in our piano. We've invited a bunch of everyday Aussies to show us how it's done.
00:44They'll pull up a stool, play their hearts out and share how this magical instrument has changed
00:50their lives. And it won't just be me cheering from the sidelines. Just there, in a lost and found
00:56storeroom, are two of Australia's leading musicians. Okay. Lost property. We've got additions to our
01:05wardrobe. Yes. There we go. There we go. That actually looks good on you though. You sort of
01:10look like Mary Poppins. Thanks. World-renowned concert pianist Andrea Lamb is back. I love the airport.
01:18It's so exciting. And joining her is award-winning multi-instrumentalist Guy Sebastian. At each location
01:28they'll invite one pianist to mentor and feature in a very special once in a lifetime concert at the
01:35City Recital Hall in Sydney. So buckle up and assume the brace position as we prepare to land more
01:42incredible performances. This is the piano.
01:55Wow. Here we are at the airport. It's a very different energy isn't it? Absolutely. I'm really
02:01curious to see how the piano will make people feel actually because you're not usually surrounded by
02:07music when you're waiting for someone. Yeah. They'll feel like they're in a movie like Love Actually.
02:12All right. So for our concert we have Erin. Sadness gently snuggles in. Erin has such a heartfelt story.
02:22She really moved people. Yeah. That's a beautiful legacy isn't it? Yes. Gorgeous. And we have CJ.
02:31He was incredible. She had all the moods and all the colours and the control of the instrument was
02:36wonderful too. Today what are you hoping to see? I think we're always looking for goosebumps. Something
02:42that we've never seen before. Yeah I definitely want to feel the heart connection to that instrument.
02:48We just want everything basically. I know. You want everything. Yeah. All right. Well go through some
02:53of the bags if you find anything. It's mine. Just saying. I'll catch up with you soon.
03:02Hello Sebastian you are the last to board. Please come to gate eight or this plane will be leaving
03:08without you. You're all right. Let's see. My name is Tyler. I am 21 years old and I'm from Penrith,
03:30to South Wales. My mentor described me as very loud. Loud is a big one.
03:41Busy spot for our piano today. Yeah ready to begin. What about this guy? Oh yeah that's it. I know
03:48I'm on
03:48TV walk. I think so. Hello I'm Amanda. Lovely to meet you Amanda. Oh I get a hug and everything.
03:55Oh my goodness.
03:56Yeah. Have a seat. Wow. Your hair's pretty fab. Thank you. Thank you. It's a frolet. Afro mullet.
04:04So what do you do for a job? I DJ. He's a DJ. So when you say DJ is it
04:10waa waa or are you taking
04:11requests on the dance floor? It's more waa waa. Right. I do a lot of house parties. I do a
04:17lot of
04:17private functions which are really fun. The best job in the world. Just not being able to get everyone
04:23dancing and moving. I do a lot of social media videos as well. I'm always like chucking these
04:30all the time. I do pull like a stank face like that a lot. I love it. It's so much
04:38fun. Tell me
04:39about your relationship with the piano. Did you go up with a piano in the house? Yeah. When I was
04:43about
04:43nine-ish years old. Dad bought a really nice one for us. That was the one piano that I played
04:48up until
04:50the fire house fire happened. House fire?
04:55I pulled up to the house. It was in flames. It was scary.
05:02I don't even want to think about it. I didn't know what was going on.
05:09Mum and Dad weren't there. They were already in the ambulance and I didn't know where my sisters were
05:14there. All my dogs. Yeah. Fire started upstairs. Everything up there came crashing down and burnt.
05:25Mum and Dad pretty much lost everything. No. Everything that they are in. Photos and things
05:32that are irreplaceable. I can't imagine what that would feel like. Literally losing every memory.
05:40All those little things that mean so much. It's their whole lives. And what are you playing today?
05:46I'll be playing Misty by Ella Fitzgerald. I wouldn't have picked Misty if I'm being
05:53honest. He's a DJ. I'm really curious to hear this.
06:00How do you both feel when you watch him play? Pretty emotional.
06:02Yeah. And I'm amazed at his coverage. I'm so proud of him. Yeah.
06:22Oh, yeah. Yeah.
06:29I got goosebumps, Jacin. I did too.
06:51There's so much feel, like so much dynamic. His voicing is excellent too. One of the hardest
06:56things in piano is really bringing out the melody with different fingers.
07:16He's got the crowd into it too. Yeah.
07:27Yeah. Really tasty. Yeah. It's quite good.
07:37The piano in my house growing up. Oh, I love that piano. I like everything about it.
07:45After the fire happened, it's the only thing I could think about. The next day, I went back for
07:51that piano through all the rubble in the lounge room, right next to where everything caved down on.
07:58The piano was there. I had cleaned it up and it didn't even skip a beat. I don't know how
08:04it's
08:04still going, but it's still going, but it is. Sat back down. I started playing Misty by Ella Fitzgerald.
08:11It just reminds me of the memories in the house. It's like home.
08:33That just had everything. It was entertaining the whole way. It kept evolving and changing.
08:37I loved the arrangement. What a great start.
08:44Thank you. Thank you so much.
08:51For security reasons, items left unattended at the airport will be treated as a security reason.
08:58All right. Who's next?
09:02Maybe this person. Hello. Hello.
09:06That's a nice and true. Oh, they're pants. That's cool.
09:09You look fabulous. Thank you very much. Tell me a bit about you.
09:13My name is Yoshi. I come from Japan. I love, love Japan. Japan's my favourite place.
09:21Now I'm working as a food service assistant in a hospital.
09:27My job is assisting the patients through the food. I enjoy a lot, especially delivering
09:37trade. I love people. Hello. So I love my job.
09:44When I make the patients smile, I love it. I bet. Of all the people you want to see in
09:48a hospital,
09:49the person delivering the food is the main one. So you came from Japan. Did you start playing the
09:54piano in Japan? Yes. That was my life joy. So what happened then when you came to Australia?
10:04You didn't continue. I didn't. Oh. Since moving from Japan, I'm always busy working and no time
10:15to play. But always a piano is in my heart. Luckily, I found the piano by accident at the hospital.
10:29I went to the place I never been. And I saw piano. What it is? A piano. I open and
10:43then I touched.
10:46Beautiful. So I start secretly practicing piano. I'm really happy about it.
10:52So people who work alongside you in the kitchen have no idea of the secret you have.
10:57Nobody knows what I am. Oh. What are you going to play for us today?
11:03Uh, Chopin. Knock down. Nine. Oh, wow. Well, I can't wait to hear you play Yoshi.
11:09Thank you very much. Over to you. This is a tough one.
11:12It really will show a lot about her musicianship and her playing if she can play this.
11:36This is iconic. Yeah. It's such a beautiful piece.
11:50There's a lot of very exposing moments in this piece, isn't there? Yeah. She's got a beautiful
11:56right hand, a singing tone there.
12:03She's doing a great job. Yeah. I love how she's balancing the bass line, balancing the melody,
12:10and getting all of these complex notes and harmonies together. She's fantastic.
12:15I love how she's balancing the bass line, and she's fantastic.
12:17I love how she's balancing the bass line, and she's fantastic.
12:45Oh, come down here. I didn't know what to expect, but that was so much more than I expected.
12:51Oh, just I tried to do my best. It was so beautiful. I hope more people get to hear you
12:56by Yoshi.
12:57Thank you for sharing with us today. Thank you very much.
12:59Am I correct in saying, am I close enough? Yes.
13:03Okay, good. Thank you very much.
13:06I really wish that her patients could hear her play because I'm sure that would make them smile.
13:12I think I did a good job. Finally, I feel like my piano life will start in Australia.
13:27Hello, buddy. Very good. Mate, you could be playing piano like that. You're on your iPad instead.
13:35This is Andrea. Hello. Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.
13:39This is Archie. He's my youngest. He's a good boy.
13:43Oh. I've never played a public piano before, so this is a whole new experience for me,
13:53but I'm excited to give it a go.
14:00Do you want to go listen out there? You're out chords now. Love you.
14:04Oh. Little bubba. He's such a good boy.
14:09Amanda scanning the crowd.
14:12That was Archie trying to sneak across and have a listen.
14:18Hello. Oh, she was like a ninja. She just appeared out of nowhere.
14:23I am Elizabeth. I'm from Geelong and I'm a mum of a little five-year-old boy.
14:28Little Archie. He's just magic. He's absolutely magic.
14:32Oh, she's got an Archie too. Oh.
14:36Wait, wait. Watch this. Watch that. I want to go on this side for a minute.
14:41Oh, my gosh. Where do you start with Archie? He's just, he's an absolute crack up.
14:47Two, three, four. Wait, about five at a time.
14:50He's very creative. He's very funny. And he's so smart. He fills our house with such joy.
14:59What are you playing today? I'm playing a very special song to me. It's called Finally.
15:04I wrote it myself. Oh, an original.
15:06Yeah. I wrote it as a source of hope many, many years ago, but now it's more a celebration.
15:13I know. I always wanted a family. I remember being a kid playing with my Cabbage Patch dolls
15:21and it was always, you know, I was the mum and that was the baby.
15:25I remember when Daniel and I were at that stage in our relationship,
15:29we would always talk about how we wanted children.
15:33We started trying for a family pretty much immediately after we got married.
15:37About a year into that, um, I still hadn't had anything happen.
15:44Yeah, be kind of. I went to the GP and they discovered that I had endometriosis
15:52and polycystic ovary syndrome. They said to me that it would be a 5% chance, um,
16:00of me having a successful pregnancy.
16:07I just completely fell apart and felt like I would never have a child.
16:14We went through years and years of fertility treatment to have a family.
16:19Um, we unfortunately lost seven babies in the process.
16:23Oh, Elizabeth.
16:26Sorry.
16:30I can't even imagine.
16:31Seven times you're, like, hopeful.
16:35I know what that's like. I went through IVF.
16:38Did you?
16:38And you looked down the barrel of thinking you won't be a parent.
16:41Yeah.
16:41I feel for everyone that doesn't get to take home a baby.
16:45It's one of those things that you have absolutely no control over.
16:52So I would say that writing songs really got me through that, um,
16:57and I put all that weight that I was feeling into the piano.
17:00Well, I'm finally going to get to your final.
17:03Okay.
17:03And I'll think of all the wonderful things you've just told me as you're playing.
17:06Thank you so much.
17:07Thanks, Elizabeth.
17:10Can you imagine how she would hold that little archie?
17:16So much of that, there resonates the, you know, the absolute joy of having a child that you want
17:24and then the hardship of not being able to have one or losing one.
17:41Well, I wasn't sure that you would show.
17:45It's been so long to be told no, but all things change.
17:55Oh, it's chills.
17:58Proper chills.
17:59Took your time, darling of mine.
18:03With open arms, you'll be held tight when all things change.
18:10It's from somewhere so pure and with such heartache, but such joy and love.
18:18Finally, oh, finally, the only boy that came to mind when two became three.
18:36I love being a mum because I get to feel this love that is genuinely indescribable.
18:46After I gave birth to Archie, I'll never forget his little head on mine.
18:51It was great.
18:54Every single battle, every single scar, every single fight was worth it because of that little boy.
19:06He is absolute magic.
19:09So, I'm very, I'm the luckiest.
19:13Finally, oh, finally.
19:19She's really stopped a lot of people in their tracks.
19:23Something so powerful about this.
19:43That was beautiful, wow.
19:46Oh, I could relate to every single word.
19:50I think what a miracle it takes for it to happen.
19:53Yeah, he's the best.
19:54Oh.
19:57Look at us go.
19:58I know.
19:58That was a beautiful song.
20:00Thank you very much.
20:01Thank you for playing it.
20:02So many of us go through miscarriages and I think it doesn't get talked about that often.
20:07Yeah.
20:07That's really amazing to have that and to know that Archie is in the world.
20:12That's beautiful.
20:13I'm going to hold my little Archie a little tighter tonight.
20:16Yeah.
20:29You ready?
20:30Over here.
20:32All right.
20:32I'll give you a hand up, eh?
20:35All right.
20:35That hat is fantastic.
20:37Hi, you two.
20:37Hello.
20:38Hello.
20:39Hello.
20:39Come up and join me.
20:40I'm Rosie Satoris.
20:41I'm 37 years old.
20:44I'm Peter Salmon.
20:45My mom is a diner.
20:47I am 92.
20:5092?
20:5192.
20:52And what do you do for a living, Peter?
20:54I'm a stockman.
20:56Surely you're not still a stockman.
20:58I do mustang, yeah, cattle now, yeah.
21:01I've been working on the station since I was about 10 or 11.
21:05Way, way, buddy.
21:07Being a stockman, that's all I know.
21:09I've never been to school.
21:11I can read a little bit, not too much, but I can count sheep and cattle.
21:17And how has this friendship come about?
21:19It was my job to find people who still spoke languages from the area where I was working,
21:24so the mid-west of WA.
21:28I've worked with mobs on looking after their language, recording elders,
21:32and making sure that the next generation have access to that incredible wealth of knowledge.
21:39There was this rumour that there was this old fella who'd talked Wadiaga.
21:44But Peter's got this real knack for not being found if he doesn't want to be.
21:52So it took me about three years to find him.
21:55Tell me about your language.
21:57What language is this, Peter?
21:58Ten months.
21:59How many people do you know who speak your language now?
22:01Me only.
22:03And that's it?
22:04Yeah.
22:05Oh, wow.
22:06And Rosie's trying to preserve it.
22:08That's amazing.
22:09Like, that just would have been a language completely lost.
22:12Yeah.
22:18Yeah, we might find one.
22:20Until I met Rosie.
22:22I had no-one to talk to her in language.
22:24So when I met her, she brought all the language back to me.
22:28Make me feel good to teach the young people my language.
22:32Malo.
22:33Malo, by the way.
22:34And then started writing songs, and here we are.
22:37The work you're doing, Rosie, with Peter, why is this so important?
22:41Peter is a connection to the very origins of this country.
22:45And so to be doing this work, it's carrying the stories,
22:49the wisdom that Peter has on for the next generation.
22:54It is almost unimaginable to think that in a few moments,
22:59we'll hear a lost language from the last person speaking this language.
23:05It's incredible, right?
23:11It's incredible.
23:12It's incredible.
23:20You heard a young pyro, why is this so important,
23:29and in a very own way.
23:30I hope you find it.
23:32It's amazing, isn't it?
23:34It is amazing.
23:35It's amazing.
23:35It's amazing.
23:35I hope you do it.
23:38It's amazing.
23:40about Peters country. So the song means if there's no rain, there's no water. And if
23:47there's no water in the pools of the river, there's no grass, there's no kangaroos, there's
23:51no birds, there's no life and the country dies.
24:05Wow, that's beautiful. So uniquely Australian as well.
24:11Yeah.
24:25Not everybody has a best mate who's 92. I feel so lucky to have learnt from him. He's
24:34like talking to history or the past or, you know, the country itself.
24:42With Peter, we talk about these songs and you can feel them coming together in the air almost.
24:47And the piano is just a great way to bring that to life.
24:57It's really beautiful piano playing. It really is a gift to find the right music to make the
25:06language come alive.
25:16Hello.
25:19How about you?
25:20How about you?
25:20How about you?
25:22Well, thank you both.
25:26I can't speak. You know, it was so beautiful. I could not be more moved by what you've done
25:34today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The essence of music sometimes is that it takes
25:39you to a different place and this really does that. I think this could be a really powerful
25:43moment in our concert. Yeah.

28:35next sharing his great-grandfather's musical legacy is 14 year old high school student Max accompanied by his dad Zach
28:44and grandmother Roz
28:46hello I'm Amanda hello I'm Max hi Max Roz hi Roz I'm Zach hi it's a very multi-generational
28:54moment here isn't it the love of music as a family you all love music yes a hundred percent I've
28:59got my inspiration from my father and my great-grandad is that your grandfather and your father yes oh and
29:07tell us a bit about him who's he he was a war musician in the Changi prison in World War
29:142
29:16oh my goodness my father's name is Jack Boardman in the war he was best known as being the pianist
29:24for the Changi concert party and for that he was awarded a British Empire medal
29:28the Changi to the Changi prison camp was known for brutality around 12,000 people were incarcerated by the Japanese
29:37they were put into very very overcrowded situations living on one cup of rice a day there was grown men
29:47who started out as 11 stone when they arrived there and when they came home if they came home there
29:52were four about 7,000 people died
29:58it was just the most horrible place
30:00the Changi concert party was formed by the commanding officers to boost morale and spirit of all those men
30:09out of the darkness of everything they experienced to have music to connect
30:14it was something to look forward to something that kept them together it's amazing
30:18this is an example of when art is essential
30:21so where'd the piano come from one of the work parties said oh we've been down to the British naval
30:26base doing some cleaning up and there's a piano down there
30:30well when they first were incarcerated the Japanese actually had them make their own fits so of course they left
30:35a few holes being Australian
30:37smart Aussies yeah so they went out in the night through the jungle found this tiny little piano and dragged
30:45it back to the camp
30:46wow they would have been shot dead
30:49imagine risking your life to get an instrument
30:52that's crazy and the Japanese never asked where it came from it was just there
30:58so the Changi concert party held over 240 performances
31:03there was so much deprivation the men towards the end some of them was too weak
31:08to even get off the little pallets that they had made and their buddies who were just as weak would
31:14pick them up and carry them down to where the concert was on
31:18so that they could hear the music and listen to the laughter and the clapping
31:24without the concerts I don't think as many men would have survived
31:28it gave them hope it gave them purpose
31:32I do believe that dad's contribution and the concert parties contribution it really did carry them through
31:38they wouldn't have made it home without that music
31:40and this is how the music would have been on the piano
31:44yeah so this is his original writing
31:48and he wrote a song called Barbara which was to my mother and that's what Maxwell's playing today
31:53oh it's a lovely song
31:56until that she's usually about you she's called you Maxwell
32:00oh that's cool
32:02he's playing his great grandad's song
32:04love song
32:21it immediately takes you to a different time
32:24the little passing notes and the sort of simple harmonies
32:30he was just so nervous
32:32the responsibility in those fingers to get this right
32:35you can see it on Max's face
32:39the song Barbara is about enduring love
32:43the love that mum and dad had kept him alive
32:47it's a love song
32:50it's pure and simple
32:55it's only because of mum and dad's enduring love
32:59that we've now got four generations keeping the music alive
33:04o o o o o o
33:08o o o o po
33:17o o o o o o o
33:19well done Max
33:23he did jack proud
33:24great grandad's looking down going
33:27that's my boy Maxwell Oswald
33:41Here's a fact that will surprise you, ever wondered why we feel so good when we listen
33:47to the piano?
33:48Well it turns out it's science.
33:50Those 88 keys aren't just creating notes, they also help to trigger feel good chemicals
33:56in the brain, which is why the piano is increasingly recognised for its mental health benefits.
34:03I'm Anastasia, I'm 33 years old and I'm a clinical psychologist.
34:11I will often incorporate music into the therapeutic work that I do.
34:15Music can be so good for the brain, it activates dopamine pathways and also music can help
34:22us process emotions that are maybe harder for us to feel.
34:37Playing the piano isn't just good for your mental health, it's great for your physical
34:41health too.
34:42Together, that's helped to change the life of our next pianist, Charlie.
34:56My name is Charlie, I'm 16 this year and I'm from Bexley in Sydney.
35:06I have a condition that makes my hands more.
35:11It's been like this ever since I was born.
35:21When Charlie was 18 days old, he was very sick.
35:28We rushed to send him to the children's hospital.
35:32He's had a development delay and he's now slowly getting arthritis in his hands.
35:42He's in pain every day.
35:48The main hard thing is growing pain, long term growing stiffness.
35:55But I started playing the piano approximately five years ago, which helped me to ease the
36:02pain through all the movement playing the piano.
36:06My hands are a bit more stronger.
36:09So for him, it's like physical therapy, but also like a creative outlet.
36:14It's so cool.
36:19When I play the piano, it's like one of the best feelings in the world.
36:24My hands aren't that big and I might not be able to play all the big, beautiful chords
36:29and harmonies.
36:30But with the notes I can use, I try and make the most out of them to share my love
36:36for piano
36:36to the world.
36:40I'm fascinated how he's navigating the instrument.
36:44Even though the fingers go in unusual patterns, you can tell that he's spent so much time
36:49at it and it's a very personal thing.
37:00Yeah.
37:04Well done, Charlie.
37:07What a legend.
37:08Take a bow, Charlie.
37:12Amazing.
37:1316 years old.
37:14Been through so much.
37:16So positive.
37:17Such a positive attitude.
37:19Dude.
37:19It's really inspiring.
37:21I love these moments.
37:31Hi, I'm Dominic.
37:33I'm 18 years old.
37:34I'm from Mount Gambier, South Australia.
37:38I live with my mum, dad and bird.
37:42It's a little budgie.
37:48It's been quite a day.
37:49It has.
37:50We're up to the last one.
37:53Oh, I think it might be this bloke.
37:56It's hard to tell.
37:58Are you coming to find me?
37:59I'm Amanda.
38:00Yeah, I'm looking for you.
38:01I'm Dom.
38:02Hi, Dom.
38:02Oh, it is him.
38:03He's very nervous, isn't he?
38:05He really is.
38:07You seem a little bit nervous and who can blame you on a day like this?
38:10Do you play in public very often?
38:12I've only really played in my bedroom.
38:14Nerves are huge for me.
38:16I suffer from anxiety and have for quite a while.
38:20I was born in Seoul, South Korea and adopted into Australia when I was about 10 months old.
38:26Growing up as an adopted kid in a small town and being a person of a different ethnicity
38:33to everyone else, I just never felt like I fit in.
38:37I've had anxiety for upwards of 10 years now, I think, almost.
38:44And it's just been a thing that has really affected my life just in so many ways.
38:49It's been a big thing to try and overcome for the past few years.
38:53And I think just doing stuff like this even is me actively trying to push through it.
38:58Wow, this is a big way to push through it.
39:00Well, he's probably looking at this moment as if I can get through this, then I can get through anything.
39:08So what kind of music are you normally drawn to?
39:10I play a lot of pop music because that's sort of all I grew up on.
39:14And are you doing something pop today?
39:16Yeah, I'm going to do Beautiful Things by Benson Boone.
39:20Oh, that's a big song. Really big song.
39:22I did not expect that one.
39:23You know, he has such confidence up there and he's just unapologetically himself,
39:27which is something that I really aspire to be.
39:29Well, I cannot wait to see you and Benson Boone come together.
39:33Dom, over to you.
39:37This is such a big moment for him.
39:39The fact that he is doing this in public for all of these people.
39:43It's amazing.
39:46I'm going to point that up a bit more.
39:48He's singing right into it.
39:51Hello, how are you?
39:52Good.
39:53Are you just a passer-by?
39:54No, I'm Mum.
39:55Are you Mum?
39:56I didn't know Mum was here. Hello.
39:58Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
39:59You must be so proud.
40:01I am.
40:01Beyond proud.
40:03Yeah.
40:05Go for it, Dom.
40:07Whatever happens, we've got you back.
40:09I can't do it.
40:38You can't do it.
40:39I see my family every month. I found a girl my parents love
40:47She'll come and stay the night
40:49And I think I might have it all. There's a few nods of approval in the crowd
40:57That's a feeling
40:59They get used to
41:01Nice
41:03There's no man
41:04And it's terrifying as the man who stands to lose you
41:31He's crushing it
41:35Please
41:38Don't take
41:40Oh, I tell you I know I've got enough
41:44I've got peace and I've got love
41:49But I'm up and I'm thinking I just might lose it all
41:56He's just playing now like he's playing around cuz he's he's free
