Derek Paravicini (accompanied by Professor Adam Ockelford) came to our school this week to play in assembly and run several workshops. Derek amazed the children and staff with his playing abilities. Derek was able to play every tune requested by the children, ranging from Star Wars songs, the Mario Brothers theme tune to Bruno Mars and classics like Fur Elise. When a tune was requested that Derek didn't know it was found on YouTube, played to him and he then played it back note perfect! It really was quite extraordinary. Not only is Derek a musical genius, he is also blind! There is more about Derek via this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMOFHuVzh3n_JBgICCgtnCg
