- 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: • In the Key of Genius: ...
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.

Lyrics: Ira Gershwin - เพลง
Hi all! We're so happy to see Lucy and her beautiful playing highlight this wonderful community of musicians. In the future we are hoping to film new videos of her and Derek playing together, so stay tuned for that!
That's an Album waiting to happen.
Loved this piece
Can't wait.True brilliance and humanity at its best.I am getting used to being moved daily watching these posts.You all feed my soul.What can you say regarding the teachers....Again,humanity at its best!
Buetiful. God is good and you are amazingng. X
AWESOME! You can tell that Lucy genuinely loves to play with Derek! I remember the time she was playing with him and she reached over to try to touch him. And in the above video, she was the most excited I've ever seen her. I'm so happy for her when she is excited! I could watch both of them for hours.
Beautiful post.Joe Blake.
OMG Lucy is having so much fun!!! I don't think there is anything as uplifting and genuine on TH-cam!
.
Her teacher is totally amazing too! I hope he gets some recognition.
Absolutely!! Daniel is a phenomenal teacher.
He should be on the Honours list without doubt!
@@poppyfield1619 Totally agree, much better than those politicians that only screw things up!
@@MeF2023 Absolutely an award.Perhaps they have had one.Being gentle humble souls,they won't perade it.
@@derekparaviciniDerek, you are the Teacher, young man. You are the Teacher of teachers. You make teachers reach higher to teach better. You, Derek, make the world wonder and desire to understand.
Stevie wonder moved almost identically. It's amazing how when someone loses one of their senses or is born without.. other senses are amplified. You can tell she is feeling something us ordinary people do not feel. These people are super human.. genius prodigy to say the least. Absolutely Amazing 🙏🏻❤️💯
I never thought about Stevie Wonder moving similarly. I wonder what is going on in her mind. I thought once she started playing the movements would slow down or stop. I once taught a high school student who had Turrets and played perfectly in the drum line. I asked if his turrets and ticks stopped when he played and he said-Yes.Interesting and amazing
@@grahamraymer807 Exactly.. they are actually feeling the music I think. These people have accessed a sense that we probably all possess.. the human brain is amazing. Maybe the movements have something to do with the timing.. kind of an "inner metronome". Absolutely Amazing to say the least. Most say "disability".. I say "Super Ability"💯🙏🏻
Beautiful, thanks.
@@grahamraymer807 she has an illness
♥️♥️♥️
She has music reverberating out of every single cell in her body. Amazing!
Definitely, no doubt! You can feel the joy in everything she plays.
Doesn't it just
Agreed!
Reverberating is definitely a word for it.
I feel like that most of the time
I am so glad that someone took note of her musical abilities and has been able to support her in such a joyful activity (and share it with us).
One of the Queen's charities is supporting her.
I've been simply staggered at some of the truly toxic comments by several individuals who feel the need to use repulsive language to describe Lucy's head movements. Before anyone chooses to write toxic comments, take the time to read Lucy's story and educate yourselves on why she moves her head. Think before you post and consider how you would feel if such toxic comments were written about you.
Ja da haben Sie sehr recht. Diese Menschen haben einfach gar keine Ahnung von Toleranz, von Musikalität von Menschenkenntnissen... Sie beurteilen das Äussere, was hier absolut nicht zählt, im Gegenteil.
Ignorieren wir solche Kommentare und geben diesem grossartigen jungen Menschen unsere grösste Bewunderung für ihre musikalische Begabung💐 und freuen wir uns an den positiven Kommentaren:)))
Don't like the comments then keep scrolling...And it is funny to me 😂 Go to your pronoun world lol😂
@@wingmarc69 So edgy! Edge, Edgelord, Edge! You're so different and cool with your edgy edgeness.
“Simply staggered”huh? I didn’t read one toxic comment!?
It is sad, but is shows people are hateful.
This girl needs to ROCK. Go Lucy, you have millions of fans!
What toxic comments?Where are they? All I see are comments of kindness compassion love and admiration for this incredibly talented child.
Just somebody farming likes for their comment you'd have to be a idiot too not realize she special needs and not show compassion.
Keyboard Warriors being weird it looks like,being happy like she looks is rare. Im happy for her.
In every youtube video there are negative comments..and there is always one person thst needs to call them out and bring attention to them. It is always such a small percentage of negative comments.
Is that Lucy's teacher Daniel, playing double bass with her? The most delightful part of watching Lucy play is the joy she gets from playing herself. Yes, this young woman is a remarkable pianist but it is the joy she shares that gives me the most joy.
It is indeed! - We agree; there is such a natural unaffected joy in Lucy's playing. Derek's as well.
The fact that she is able to function at all with the blindness and other challenges she deals with makes her a living miracle playing piano like this. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music!
One thing which I find amazing and enjoyable in this video - seeing a great number of people paying special attention and full of appreciation to this amazingly talented little Girl. Being completely blind and playing piano in perfection at that age - this is what I call a Miracle. ❤😊❤
The atmosphere at this concert was really amazing - Many neurodivergent children with various sensory impairments and complex needs played alongside Lucy and Derek, and the pure joy and talent exuded by everyone there was deeply moving. It really is an amazing community and it's great to see people sharing in that joy!😃
Why does Lucy keep shaking her head. Is it some kind of illness. She certainly has a talent for piano playing. Smart girl. ❤
She has neurological challenges, and is also on the autism spectrum. Which makes her talent even more remarkable.
@@loriclem6889 - please read more info about Lucy on the drop down description. It explains why.
Absolutely Art. It is a divine miracle that amazes all of us.
She is amazing. I cannot do what she does effortlessly! She is in a zone, that nobody else can comprehend!
Woah! There are not many musical savants in the world! Two in the same space is extraordinary in and of itself. Beautifully done to both, and their coach!
Haven't worked out how to watch without crying. Amazing performers and teachers. Truly wonderful.
Hi go ahead and cry.I do daily,when I watch these fantastic human beings,performers and teachers alike.The bond they have reduces me to tears.Also makes me green with envy!
Just enjoy it and share in the joy with Lucy. Lucy is blessed to have such remarkable talent, an extraordinary teacher and the most loving and supportive mother any child could hope for. She is truly blessed and she shares her blessings with us. Put the hankie aw
ay and get up and dance with joy because that's one of the greatest gifts anyone can share!
Me too. The tears I shed are thick and hot. I think it is about us being reminded that humanity can be amazing and beautiful. Wars, ego-sick politicians, environmental destruction, greedy capitalists et al are all wiped away just for a few moments. ❤
Us Fernes always think alike!
Honestly it never becomes less special watching them play. It's always a beautiful experience. Definitely more clips to come!
Every time I hear her play tears well up in my eyes! She is amazing!! ❤
I never ceased to be amazed at the way some human brains seamlessly interface with a piano. As though the inner music transfers as instantaneously and freely as singing does for others. It is miraculous to watch and celestial to hear.
She's so joyful, and that shows the true nature of music
"She's so joyful"
she's autistic. repetitive motions like that are the main symptom of autism.
Something i find particularly incredible about her performance is her ability to locate the right keys despite thr swaying of her head. If i closed my eyes and swayed my head like that there's no way I'd be able to locate anything correctly. Id have to sit still and have my hands and arms by my side in the exact same position every time. It just simply amazes me how she is able to play so perfectly and so beautifully with that body movement. It brought a tear to my eye, so beautiful. I doubt we will ever understand the brain and all it's capabilities!
Derek, you used to play the organ behind me at church sometimes when I was quite young. Always enjoyed your talent !
She is precious and really got into this song. She's a jazz artist at heart!
I'm slowly and clumsily learning cello at the age of 52, so I absolutely enjoyed seeing how this sweet girl plays the piano with such effortless joy!♥️😍🎹🎶🎵
Good on you!
Their improvisation is too amazing, mind blowing,....how both of them are so so creative never fails to leave me dazed and speechless ....I feel fortunate to be able to watch their videos....thank you so much
.
Lucy is a truly amazing wee lassie. To be able to play the piano like that given her disabilities, is an absolute joy to listen to.😊
This made me smile so big. Lucy is clearly having the time of her life, and it's infectious! Her enjoyment in the music and in making it just radiates from her.
What an amazing young lady. Inspiration for just about anyone who needs it. Bless her and the gentlemen playing with her
I've said it before, and will say it again, I love her to pieces. Such a precious heaven-sent angel to inspire and encourage us all. What a wonderful performance this is! How awesome to perform with the incredible Derek Paravicini! Keep being wonderful, amazing, and endearingly unique you, sweet Lucy! 😊
Watched Lucy on the Channel 4 series The Piano. She was beyond amazing and so moving ❤
Absolutely. She really made us proud and it's wonderful to see her draw more attention to this community of musicians with her beautiful playing.
Wish it come on our local stations, would just love to see it!
The sheer joy in playing the piano etched across her face is quite moving. I am so glad that someone given so many disadvantages in life has at least one huge advantage in compensation which is her talent and love of music. Derek is incredible too of course.
Thanks for commenting. Music is unique in this way I think - I have spent some time at a school for children with very severe cognitive challenges, and honestly music engages them like nothing else. Even the most non-responsive child will react in some way to music.
I ❤ this comment!!
@@derekparavicinihave you seen the videos of a pianist playing for elephants? ALL creatures, great or small, are moved in some way by music.
I used to work with developmentally disabled adults, and I found music, especially classical music, calmed them and was generally their favorite. I wish I had recordings of Lucy playing back then.
Methinks these two communicate on a much higher level than the rest of us. 👌💫💕
Yes.I agree.Not of this world...🙏🎆
Oh most definitely. They can just FEEL how rhe other feels/is/etc. I had a bond like that with a special Ed friend I sadly lost contact with when I got out of HS. I've tried to find him. I hope he's doing well and flourishing. He is a WONDERFUL vibrant soul. ❤
Beautifully said 😂
Music knows no boundaries ❤️some listen, some play and everyone enjoys. Magic
Music is a very special force for humans, no question about it. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Much love from Australia
Astoundingly fabulous!! The genius human minds are capable of! Countless neurotypical professional musicians listen to you two with stunned awe and envy. We need more musicians like you both in our world. Brava and Bravo!!! Thank you both for sharing your music with us💜🦄💕
thank you firstly Channel 4 for showing us this magical world of ours. My twin sister is an opear singer/teacher and i know how the love of music can move and touch the soul. Lucy and her teacher Daniel have given me the TV moment of the year. The piano was so much more than i expected. Bravo to all particularly Lang Lang and Mica. The joy that Lucy expresses is so very moving. Her personality and love shone through with music I cannot think of any other medium that can do this. I feel so blessed to have witnessed this. We must do all to keep music alive on TV.. thank you for the video
Thank you very much! We're very glad so many people are touched by Lucy's playing. Her and Derek both have incredible, inspirational stories behind their success.
Lucy is wonderful, amazing that at 13 years old and blind Lucy play like a pro. Thank you for sharing. Lots of 💕 love xxx
So utterly amazing!!!
Having autistic family I find it a joy just to know that Lucy has this way of getting joy from life when so many other avenues have unfortunately been blocked by fate.
I love to see her lit up with enthusiasm and joy..brings tears to my eyes..especially when our Lisa is so cut off.
Go Lucy GO!!!
Thanks for commenting. it's good to know that Lucy's playing is reaching people. It's all about seeing people for what they can do and not what they can't do. Our society unfortunately tends to see people with autism and other cognitive challenges as a set of cants and wonts, to judge them as a set of deficits instead of championing their potential. Music really has a unique power to affect and engage people, and you are absolutely right about the joy it brings Lucy (and Derek).
@@derekparavicini Very poignant, as someone with autism I agree, we're not drags on a system but unique individuals all with amazing capabilities, we just need to find that avenue that suits us most :)
I absolutely love seeing people like Lucy! She is incredible, inspiring, and truly puts life into perspective. I love this so much!❤❤❤
Prelepa Lusi oseća muziku...njena duša je beskrajno muzikalna..dušo draga uživamo dok muziciraš❤
It's such a joy enjoying how much she is enjoying this.
She's brilliant. Derek is masterclass per.usual. Bravo!!!
It's wonderful to see them riff off one another! We hope to film more of them together in the future.
I love these two. Especially Derek. What awesome humans ❤
Taken with one hand and truly gifted with the other , absolutely fantastic
Just absolutely amazing Lucy 👏 you have a musical soul ❤️
We're glad you enjoyed Lucy's playing!
I can’t help but stop and watch every time Lucy pops up on the feed. Absolutely magical!
Every single time,she leaves me speechless or in tears
She's amazing! More videos to come in the future for sure!
This is so beautiful I could start crying!
So talented, so beautiful and such an nspiration 💯💜👑
We're glad you enjoyed Lucy and Derek's duet!
Her keyboard awareness is out of this world !!
She’s feeling the music like no one. ♥️♥️♥️😍🙏
Or she doesn't care if anyone is ..❤
OMg that girl is soo cute . she looks like she is in cosmic joy and simply can't contain her excitement . ❤️
WOW! Such incredibly talented musicians!!
More I've learned and practiced, more I've understood that music IS a language, not in some superficial platitude level.. it's IS a language. People who might have harder time to communicate with means we've used to can have other means of communication they're absolutely amazing at and that are suited for them... e.g... music.
And Derek and Lucy show us that there are so many more ways to have conversations than we think. Places where they are most adept at and others can just be in awe of their vocabulary, structure and how they express themselves.
I can never reach this level, no matter how much I practice.
Wow, this is amazing to see such an amazing piano player. The guy was really good too.
It's absolutely wonderful to see how happy Lucy is here. She seems to be in her favorite environment.
What a beautiful young lady 💓💓💓💓 so talented 💖
Fantastic playing by Derek, Lucy and Daniel! 🌟🌟🌟
Watching again can't believe amazing
She look so happy when playing the piano that's make me smile too, Thanks Lucy :)))
She loves it. So glad it made you smile!
Lucy is so amazing, so so amazing she brings joyful tears to my eyes. What a talented young girl.
She is amazing. We can't wait to see what she does next. We'll definitely post more clips of her!
Bless her she is so talented I love to watch her unbelievable!
I love how she sways her ponytails as she plays. Just pure joy!
Daniel playing yet another different musical instrument. An exceptional musician in himself. The fact that he chooses not to progress his own career, but help others astounds me ❤
EDIT: I was so into it that I forgot to mention Derek who was also playing spectacularly there. Terrific trio.
He does play in a jazz band - Daniel Bath Trio ... he is also a composer and runs his own charity trust 'Music For The Many' R (Australia)
@@branscombeR incredible. Thank you for that extra information.
Sweet magical Lucy ❤️🎹👏👏👏
Thank you for this marvellous video,let’s hope we hear more about Lucy and all who support her.
Brilliant totally love this. Wish Lucy a great future and thank you to ALL that have made it possible.
Thank you. We wish her a great future as well! Glad you're enjoying her playing.
What is so lovely about this particular clip is that Lucy is so obviously deliriously happy - her absolute joy is marvellous to see.
Nice to see Lucy so happy...:)
Love their music! It puts a smile in my heart
This kid got more beauty in one finger then most do in their entire being..
Like you?
Don’t measure beauty in such a toxic manner. Beauty comes in many forms. Everyone is needed in society.
@@HowDidIGet3700Subs
Completely unnecessary to dismiss her exceptional gifts and beautiful soul like that. And by "everyone is needed", do you also mean, gang members, drug dealers, child traffickers, murderers, rapists, and shall I go on? 🤔
@@conradinhawaii7856 Ironically, it's by doing what you & the op are doing (Elevating the minority while neglecting or putting down the majority) that exacerbates the societal issues you describe. This is precisely what fosters crime. If everyone felt valued & needed by society crime might decrease. This little girl will receive praise & high income her whole life while doing something she loves. Meanwhile, hard working checkout girls who live in poverty & aren't as blessed, are told to shutup & get on with it.
These two are truly, absolutely superhuman.
wonderful piano playing Lucy
I love Lucy. I love her music.
I love the rythum of her swaying.
I love her that she can see what the sighted never sees.
I think she is an Angel of beautiful music.
God Bless you lucy 🎼💜🙂!
Я плачу со своей душой,
О том, что слышу эти ноты,
Я не могу найти покой,
Ничто её так не заботит,
Она не видит белый свет,
И как он выглядит не знала,
Незрячий ангел как рассвет,
Все наши души пробуждала,
Каснувшись клавишей рукою,
Душа неистово рыдала,
И как найти ей путь домой,
Девечье сердце подсказало,
С каким же трепетом она,
Эту мелодию сьиграла,
Как будто видела сама,
Предвосхищение начала.
..
This is music.
Thank you😊❤
Fun and uplifting to listen to!!! Just simply amazing!!❤
Absolutely wonderful - immense thank yous to both for bringing such joy to me!
She is so talented its hard enough to play an instrument with out any physical problems she is a genius xx
As a physically disabled musician myself, it is so encouraging to watch musicians with other disabilities overcome their challenges to be able to play. Lucy is a phenomenal musician and it was so interesting to see how her teacher taught her. When I was 5 I was so pleased that I could press down a key. My fingers are very weak so I can only use a few of my fingers when I play and my teacher really had to adapt the way she taught me but I’m glad she believed it would work. I would really encourage all music teachers if you are ever asked to teach someone with a disability, no matter what it is, don’t walk away but give it a go! You might be surprised! Looking forward to watching more of Lucy’s piano playing on TH-cam!
She is AMAZING and brought tears to me eyes. Bless this amazing person.
Wow!! Lucy seems to be having a lot of fun!!❤
What a beautiful and talented little girl!
Brava!!!🎉❤ нет слов! Я апплодирую стоя!!!! Брава!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The utter joy Lucy evinces makes me smile and laugh. Such delight! Love those little excited bounces!
First time encountering Derek, btw -- WONDERFUL gift! Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
What an incredible gift! Thank you for sharing!
So beautiful! This is what it looks like when music "moves through you."
Wow! That’s impressive! Great Lucy! Absolutely Great! 🥰
Wonderful: Lucy was INTO IT!!! Everyone has a gift, the key is to find it??
Thanks for sharing the amazing talent of these fine musicians and their teacher!
I love Lucy!! ❣️But also love Daniel💜what a star genius he isxxx✌️💫💫💫💫💫💫Bravo
Hi Derek Paravicini, It's great seeing you playing on the piano just as I remember you at your father's home many years ago. Absolutely loved it.
Lucy is so natural at playing jazz........wow amazing!
Wow..... I'm so amazed! Beautiful teamwork and a lot of credit to the teachers! ❤
I have tears of joy at the beauty of this. Omg how wonderful. THANK YOU so much for sharing this.
I remember back in the early days of Stevie Wonder, he moved his head like this as he played and sang. He was one of the greats! I don’t know this little lady’s story, but God has blessed her with amazing talent and people who realize what a gift she is!
Stevie wonder isn’t really blind
These people who play like this- this is a form of possession. Beyoncé even spoke on this
@@kblongespee9225 Look at his eyes. At best he sees shadows. Even that seems highly unlikely. All the suppositions that say he sees can be attributed to him having more developed abilities in using what senses he has left. His hearing, smell, and touch. Plus common sense and memory.
And that little girl is not possessed she is overjoyed with the music and doesn't need to read the music leaving her free to express her joy by moving her head. Probably similar to Stevie Wonder. As for Beyonce she has admitted to being intact with supposed demons in which case she needs God and medication for the spiritual and possible mental disorder if she's just imagining said demon. Some schizophrenics say they hear demons too.
Every child is born with a gift and is a gift. I say this as as a teacher of persons with disabilities. There are times I have learned from them. No matter what, e everyone is worthwhile.
I named my rooster Lil Stevie, when his waddles get wet he sways his head exactly like Stevie Wonder would.
Simply wonderful!
Wow, how utterly amazing. Both of them are so talented, what a wonderful gift. 🎉💕
Pure joy. Thank you💛
What matters most in life is joy and happiness. Look at the joy Lucy has. even waiting to play. You knew she truly loved this piece and to play it with Derek
Derek and Lucy both simply love doing their thing and playing piano. With Derek, sometimes you literally have to tell him its time to eat because he will just play for 5 hours straight in his music room.😅
Whomever taught you that lied to you, you are not truly alive unless Christ lives in you! The most important thing in this life is salvation and you have to sacrifice joy and happiness for grief and sorrow!
@@artifacthunter1472
Please just go away, and spare all of us here the sermon. We are Not here for that! Save that stuff for whatever church you sit it on Sundays. 😞
What a real joy !
*I absolutely love Lucy and can just watch her for hours!!*
I listen to her as often as I can. She is a very expressive pianist. À gift to us all. I have been a piano teacher for 30yrs or so.I will never achieve what Lucy does.
This is so great!! One of the best youtube recommendations ever!! ❤🎵❤
