My god she is astounding. Not "for a disabled person", not just a trick. She is is actually a beyond gifted artist. She is simply wrapped in a package we aren't used to seeing.
So beautifully put!! ❤
@@alexismansion9761 I was raised by one of the worlds most extraordinary pianists who reached greater heighs than this at this age. She wasn't at all disabled but she didn't perform publicly after the age of 18. Anyway I don't focus on the technique, dexterity or skill but the emotional connection and the feelings being expressed simply because that's what I heard from the time I was about 2 when mom got a piano at home. Lucy''s fluidity and connection to how the music makes her feel is out of this world. You can literally feel her hope joy and wonder. It affects me similar to her music teacher, I feel honored just to hear it.
@@L8nitedaveYou are quite the bullshitter
@@L8nitedave THAT's what I'm talking about!
It's in the feeling she plays with, impossible to not get emotional, so much emotion and beauty inside of this girl.
The piano teacher deserved an acknowledgement too. What an amazing tutor you are for making Lucy such an amazing pianist at her age. Unbelievable!!! ❤❤❤
Totally Agree
Please let me "third" that!
She just gets better and better. Where is this taking place? The "Wathen Hall, St Paul's School, Barnes", comes up as "London, England". Would it ever be possible for her to travel?
I NEVER do concerts .....but LUCY .....I WILL.
If it ever comes possible, please put Vancouver, B.C. Canada ......PLEASE!!!! I wouldn't miss her performance for the world!!!!! I'll take her over the royal family any day of the week, month, year.

The piano teacher has earned a Knighthood not pals of Johnson or other toady politicians.
The kindness, patience and persistence of the teacher to encourage her to learn music in spite of her blindness paid off handsomely.
Her playing skills double and tripple up as she persisted in engancing her skills in creative improvisations!
I was thinking the same thing too. He's an amazing teacher with a huge heart and patience.
This talented little lady has stolen the hearts of everyone who's seen her on TV show The Piano. Much admiration for the Amber Trust and her tutor.
Totally agree on both counts. Lucy imbues both sensitivity and her own personality into this performance.
What can I say . I am emotionally drained ,
couldn't agree more
She is truly amazing.

And well done to Lucy’s Mummy who watched and listened to the needs of her precious child, what a wonderful woman she is❤
I totally agree ❤
I agree a lot of people would have put her in some institution but her mother is amazing herself, Father in heaven bless this mother and child.
Yes!
Enormous respect for Lucy's teacher for working in a generous and holistic way with her.His dedication to his craft has allowed this young girl to enter a world of life long joy and achievement.Sincere thanks Sir.

The way in which Lucy expresses herself through music is just an absolute gift which enriches so many people’s lives.

LUCY YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN AND HEARD YOU PLAY THE PIANO GOD BLESS ✌️
i just adore you Lucy. You are a true gift from God.
I can’t get over how good Lucy is. Kudos to her pianist teacher ❤🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼❤️🙌🏼
Totally agree, if anyone deserves a medal it's those wonderful teachers.

I’m 81 years old and listening to Lucy my soul is touched to the core. I recognize that she is an amazing and gifted artist. She is sharing with the world. My Lord, what am I doing?
She doesn't play music, she is the music, thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.😀
Hoagy is smiling in Heaven. The dynamics of her playing are spectacular.
Hoagy , это кто ?
@@tsheriomoushkin-petrthe person who wrote the piece.
@@tsheriomoushkin-petrHoagy Carmichael.
Amazing. She connects with music. She looks almost likes part of the piano. And to see her head swaying and feet tapping is so inspiring. It's so sweet and innocent, remarkable. She's like a little ray of sunlight and hope.❤
I absolutely love the head moving, it's like she goes into a musical world were only she can be. Beyond gifted..
Wow!!! That kid plays beautifully. I could watch her and listen to her all day. She looks so free when she plays that piano. Too cool.
After her debut performance on “The Piano on C4” the British nation has fallen in love with this talented angel. She deserves nothing but success and has a bright musical future awaiting her. Well done Lucy! xxx
@pearljam619: ... and not just Britain ... her performances have gone worldwide! R (Australia)
@@branscombeR
And in Hawai'i. 😌💖🌹
Even in indonesia
I first heard Lucy playing a classical piece which was astonishing. Here we hear she is not a one trick pony playing Hoagy Carmichael. I am a musician as well musicians who connect are those who play directly from the heart. That resonates with listeners. This sweet little lady channels her heart and who she is through her playing. Maybe this is because of the other restrictions she has in expressing herself. She is absolutely pouring herself into the muse. Bless her heart.
You have that right, Sir !
I am just lost in admiration of this amazing little girl. I hope she has a brilliant future as she so richly deserves. Thanks to her genius teacher for enabling her talent to emerge so wonderfully.
She has certainly stolen my heart ❤️ and her amazing teacher deserves all my praise.
I weep openly at the timeless and ethereal, beautiful phrasing of her interpretation. I am smitten by the pureness of this little human being. I just love her with all my heart. And I have a daughter! Please care for her with continued tenderness and understanding. And I a am beyond grateful for sharing her with the world. Other than that I am in speechless awe of this gift to the word.
Seeing Lucy play, who can still NOT believe in miracles? What a beautiful synchronicity that the perfect teacher for her was right there when she needed and was ready for him. As a teacher I learned so much watching Daniel just be in the presence of Lucy and her talent and assisting as they both unfold. I am in awe.❤
My knowledge of music is zilch, so I have no clue how to express it . But there is a bit at the end which is I suppose you could say free form .. she does it so well .. really enjoyed listening to it . The whole thing is fantastic.
She so amazing at her playing. It's like someone else is playing through her. And What a great teacher who has seen her potential and has stayed along side her.
What a talented little girl, she not only plays the tune but also improvises too, I could listen to her all day.
She's amazing. All of the movement that her body is making, and yet her hands are still so steady when she plays.
Ikr! Give her enough time and I bet she could play multiple instruments at the same time. What incredible talent! And the teacher deserves an award for what he's guided Lucy into being.
Her whole body and mind feels the music in ways we cant even dream to understand...clearly.
@@troye.1309 ... watch out! Apparently she's learning to play the drums too, now ... R (Australia)
Lucy is such a beautiful, beautiful young lady, so talented, bringing joy to millions of people. Challenged, but so gifted and Daniel is the perfect teacher for Lucy.
So utterly moving......we have so much to learn about the human spirit. Thank you Lucy.
I agree with your comment, entirely.
I’m astounded! How absolutely wonderful! And jazz too! Oh my goodness.
It's like her spirit is blasting through the physical conditions it finds itself in and connects with us so deeply
I hope to continue to see more and more of Lucy as long as she is enjoying it and life itself!❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
Her SOUL IS AGELESS AND UNLIMITED THROUGH HER MUSICAL BRILLIANCE. HER SOUL IS HERE TO TEACH US TO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER AND ABOVE ALL ELSE BE KIND, BE KIND, BE KIND AND BE GRATEFUL. ❤😊❤😊
Well said 👏
I just love the way Lucy can just take off on a jazzy riff with such mastery. And daniel provides great accompaniment on the bass.
I totally agree - that completely amazed me. She is absolutely brilliant.
This little girl is a miracle ❤
I just love watching this talented little girls, she's heartwarming. Her mother and tutor must be proud. I love this particularl version of the song. Wonderful.
Love can build a bridge. Teacher and student are soul mates❤ They were meant to be together❤
What an angel she is thank you Daniel.
I love hearing her she's so amazing
Thank you to all the caregivers and the coaches 🙏🏼.
You are a very skilled young lady. I love listening to you play. Kudos to your mom and Daniel. 🎼🎹
Darn little Miss Lucy we are all just so impressed with your talent...🎹😱☺️😏🏆🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐
Just amazing....saw Lucy on "The Piano" and had to see more
I am awestruck, of course the first time I was aware of Lucy was on the tele *the Piano* but here in 2021 she is playing jazz piano and watching her feet she is dancing to the rhythm fully absorbed by the music, I am crying with happiness that this girl gives me , Lucy I admire and thank you .
I had heard Lucy play already. Wasn't she wonderful! What an inspiration she is to EVERYONE. Regardless of who we are and whatever situation we are confronted with, there is a strength and determination which lies within and if we try we can do amazing things. It will make us feel PROUD of ourselves and appreciated by those who we come in contact with. I cannot end my comment without encouraging listeners to this video to also listen to Emma Kok singing 'Voila' accompanied by Andre Rieu and his orchestra. Please find the official video (27M+ views in only the most recent 2-3 months). Andre introduces Emma to the live audience (12500) and it will explain what Emma is all about before she sings. And, OMG, can this 15 year older sing!
Brings 😢 tears Lucy is so talented God bless Lucy a very gifted young lady. A beautiful version of the nearest of you impeccable musicianship young lucy
God blessed her with cancer as an infant; don't you think he should leave her alone now?
This is a great expression of someone showing joy in something no-one would expect and making everyone who hears it smile like she does playing it.
I’m so stunned to be able to not be blind and still play piano.Daniel you deserve all the love and support you and Lucy can get and I am so happy a person like you who teaches blind kids like Lucy exist in this world. omg Lucy,she moved me and I never would of known how much pain she must of went through with autism neurodiversity and it’s amazing and beautiful to see someone like her who is in this world and who can even play piano without looking it’s so amazing to see even when your not there you can feel touched by her.I love lucy and Daniel and always will .she deserves all the love and support she can get ❤️👏🏻
My goodness! Listening to her you can tell that music is actually vibrating within her soul. Thank you very much for sharing her talent with the world.
She's got three songs going on in her head, but only giving us one... Legs pumping, head swaying and fingers going for a walk.... A gem
I hope they make a album on LP and CD of her she is just brilliant and the teacher.
It's astonishing to see her play the piano the way she does. No missed key, no missed note. I'm not able to comprehend how it was ever possible for her to study this music.
What more to say then: EVERYBODY LOVES LUCY!!!!!!! What a great way to communicate and in what a clearness and depth!!!!! All my admiration goes to Lucy and her Mom and to all her supporters helping her to elevate her inspirational work! Lots of
Such a gifted girl, and an amazing music teacher!
Of all the worlds pianists, this wonderful young girl Lucy is deserved of a gift from Steinway & Sons... may her talents bring her happiness forever.
I just love listening to her, she is awesome 👏👏❤️🇨🇦
Mein Gott - Lucy kann alles! Ich liebe sie. Diese Jazzdarbietung ist so genial, einfach herrlich! 👍❤️
Notice that most 'normal' people drastically and chronically moving their heads so violently, side-to-side, would develop in seconds 'positional vertigo,' get dizzy and fall from the chair. Lucy's brain has adapted so well that--even though totally blind and moving her head so violently without vertigo--her hands and fingers still know perfectly well where each key in the keyboard is and how to get to them. Lucy's positional awareness over and above her disabilities is the quintessential example of brain and body plasticity to adapt, survive, and even thrive. Amazing! Go Lucy!
Always enjoy listening and watching such a talented person.
Wonderful.❤
Bien bien que se la siente flotando en el aire como la musica , como me hace sentir de bien ,me hace volar viendola volar.
gracias !!!
I just can't believe those great little runs that she uses with such utter authority. I'm a fan!!
With Jerome Kern's 'All the Things You Are' in the second, upbeat, half.
She's extraordinary.
Seeing Lucys body moving enjoying the music brings tears to my eye . beautiful world
Lucy reminds me of an Australian boy called Kyan Pennell.
Kyan was neuro divergent as well and tragically died in a farm accident at 12yo.
Kyan had just taught himself piano in the 7 months prior to his death. He had memorised 35 classical pieces of music.
After his death his parents found the beginning of a piano composition that he had composed. He had no formal training, having learnt off TH-cam and taught himself to read and write music.
Since his death as a tribute to his talent a number of performers and orchestras have played arrangements of his composition. He has a TH-cam channel in his memory. What a loss of talent!😢😢
What a loss but specially for his parents.
Just an amazing talent , so wonderful to see you Lucy, to see you just get lost in the music you are playing.❤️
And the Amber Trust your dedication to help fellow musicians find themselves in music is just wonderful xx
I could listen to her play all day long. Keep doing what we all love .
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 сыграла,
Как будто видела сама,
Предвосхищение начала.
...
The power of the brain is such an amazing thing and many of us only use a fraction of its capabilities, this beautiful lady shows what can be done when love and passion in thrown into our sensory systems. Such a gift.
This is what pure joy and real playing from the heart looks like.
What a talent! Truly out of this world!
Blessings 💕
The sensitivities and intuitiveness of the teacher is truly incredible. Lucy is out of this world great!
Спасибо Люси за потрясающе талантливое исполнение произведений ! Браво Люси ! Ты большая молодец и талант ! Браво преподавателям , что увидели в ней музыканта и развиваете её способности ! Спасибо !!!
Lucy you are a Princess and your piano playing is wonderful. God has given the world a musical angel. Keep playing as you bring a bright light of hope and joy to those that hear you play. You are an inspiration to us all❤😀🇬🇧
And god gave another small child cancer...
Next you’ll be thanking god for the paralyzed person who paints lovely watercolors with their feet.
Lucy and her teacher are great 💖
Thank you so much Lucy❣️ I weep with tears of joy when I hear you play ❣️
Lucy, Dear Lucy, I have watched several of your videos recently both classical and modern styles and your talent and skill just over whelms me with admiration. I cannot find words in my vocabulary to express the emotion and pleasure your playing gives me. Love to you, your family and tutor. Long may you play ❤❤
No words can describe my admiation for this young lady.
Lucy is exceptional i have no words that music teacher is amazing
Lucy is phenomenal. I could listen to her play all day. Huge kudos to her teacher, Daniel. You helped bring Lucy’s world to life for us all to enjoy.
Es haut mich jedesmal um, wenn ich sie spielen sehe. Ihr ganzer Körper bewegt sich vollkommen aus dem Takt, aber ihre Hände spielen das Klavier mit so viel Feingefühl. Sie ist einfach ein Phänomen
These Lucy videos never get old. I consider them therapeutic.
👏👏👏👏so happy to see her doing so good , bravo Amber trust 👍👍👍👍
Wonderful. Such a joy to watch Lucy play, and listen to such a talented, little girl.
Absolutely beautiful❤❤❤❤❤
I love this version, so chilled … she is so great. Really cheers me up…. She is so talented and what a remarkable teacher Daniel is.
...a couple of my favorites...saw your window, grabbed my guitar, played along and clapped for you when our songs were over...smashing scene!...I feel like I was there where you all were!...
Wow Lucy !! The more I read and hear about you the more I want to listen
It’s amazing how she was taught, a sweet little angel, I could watch and listen to her all day
Makes your heart sing with joy at seeing this beautiful girl play with such obvious joy and talent. God bless you Lucy and your wonderful tutor Daniel. What a partnership!
A match made in heaven for sure! ❤️🙏🏻
Beside her incredible talent this young lady is such a beautiful soul.
Such a deftness of touch on the keys. I love that her teacher is always by her side. A sublime pairing but Lucy will always steal the show. Wow, just wow!!!
It lifts my heart to watch and hear, just beautiful, thank you.
Just like the words of this song, she has and needs the nearness of everyone around her and the piano gives her a way of communicating. I love how they added Jerome Kern's, "All The Things You Are" halfway through her recital. Lucy might not be note perfect but she has something magical going on!
Something tells me she's going to get even better over time. She definitely an angel glow that lights a star.
God love her, she is so talented and precious
Amazing! This is an inspiring experience. Lovely girl and competent bass player.
What a fantastically talented young lady, her playing is exceptional
i cant help who I am . It always brings tears to my eyes , Good luck Lucy . The stars are shinning brighter wherever you are
And those dancing feet......joy incarnate.
God's love has touched this beautiful and gentle soul. What a talent she has!!!
Whats it got to do with God?
@clive beams Exactly. If god was half as caring as he is often claimed, Lucy would not be as she is today. This is an example of the human spirit overcoming what nature has given us, not a gift from some god. This also opens us to think about if god is all powerful, or all compassionate. The rwo are not compatible.
@@frankibabi1 Your forgetting that we are in a fallen world. The god you talk about is Lucifer. Lucifer is the god of this world.
Lucifer doesn't care about this girl and it helps him for you to believe that.
So many kudos to the Amber Trust and his teachers. Lucy felt and played her 'natural' way through the" The nearness of you". Very smooth with some intended edges.
Everybody should play Jazz like he feels it. Good feeling, Lucy!
That is just a beautiful song. Lucy plays it so well.
Possibly the greatest musical thing I ever heard and seen,the lord has seen fit to bestow greatness on this fantastic young girl and will keep her well for the rest of her life.
You are a blessing, to us all!
She's out of this world,god bless her.
