Derek Paravicini and Adam Ockelford: In the key of genius
Born three and a half months prematurely, Derek Paravicini is blind and
has severe autism. But with perfect pitch, innate talent and a lot of
practice, he became an acclaimed concert pianist by the age of 10. Here,
his longtime piano teacher, Adam Ockelford, explains his student’s
unique relationship to music, while Paravicini shows how he has ripped
up the "Chopsticks" rule book. (Filmed at TEDxWarwick.)
A beautiful talk and performance.
