The Amazing Lucy Plays a Duet with Musical Savant Derek Paravicini!
The wonderful Lucy who has recently featured on @Channel4 ’s #ThePiano with @langlang and Derek are both blind and neurodivergent with complex additional needs as well as an incredible natural facility for music and mastery of the piano. To find out more about Derek, his savant abilities and his own incredible story, check out this TedX talk given by him and his mentor Adam Ockelford:
We thought you would all enjoy this clip of Derek and Lucy along with Lucy’s teacher Daniel Bath improvising on the jazz standard ’A Foggy Day (In London Town)’! There is so much joy in their music making.
We would also like to mention the wonderful @theambertrust , which has done so much incredibly work to promote musical development and growth among blind children and young people, including those with additional needs. You can see more about Lucy and her story here!
