Publisher's Synopsis

Derek Paravicini is blind and autistic with severe learning difficulties but has a rare gift - he is a musical prodigy whose piano-playing has thrilled audiences from Ronnie Scott's, to Buckingham Palace. As a baby, given a toy organ, he began to teach himself to play. Music proved to be his means of expression and communication. At the age of four he was already an exceptional musician in the making. His mentor, and music psychologist Dr Adam Ockelford's account is a testament to the young man who can't tell his right hand from his left, yet amazes his audiences.
