Lucy does more than repeat music she has learned by rote. She plays with a degree of expression that shows remarkable maturity. She understands the music. One can hear that in the way she brings out the voices in the left hand or accentuates the melody beautifully and intelligently. Lucy has a profound emotional effect on her listeners, which you can easily see because so many people are in tears. That is actually what music is for -- to affect the emotions of the listener.

She has an amazing gift and sensitivity for the music. We must pay tribute to her amazing teacher who has himself the incredible ability to have recognised her gift, and worked out, with such patience and persistance, how to help her learn. He needs to be remembered.

Not much shocks me or gives me the shivers nowadays, but this however, madness. What an incredible and talented young girl.

Is that not miraculous as well as unbelievably beautiful and when so many meaningless people are rewarded in excess of their achievements, that outstanding, unassuming man is worthy of the highest award and reward that can be bestowed on him. What a remarkable and incredible experience it has been to see that performance. Thank you to everyone involved

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 YouTube!

As a social worker I used to help organise support for caregivers like Lucy's mum. I was constantly humbled by the dedication and sacrifice these quiet heros offer to their loved ones. To foster Lucy's talent like this and to find a wonderful teacher like Daniel is a remarkable achievement - it should inspire us all.

Listening to her perfectly performed music and looking at her physical condition - makes it impossible to stop tears out of the eyes of everyone. I just can't believe what I am seeing and hearing about. A totally blind Child at an early age plays in the world of perfection by the stunning world of great professionals in music.

She doesn't learn like a mainstream musician, she has the special gift, she's amazing ❤

[rednazray]

The world is a bad place. But people like Lucy just gives us hope and makes us feel better. They are special.

[larryfroot]

It's not just playing by rote, either. She really brings out everything the piece has to offer in terms of emotion. Her timing, her phrasing...

[patriciatulloch]

[demoneIephant]

Am I the only one who gets overwhelmingly emotional watching this?! Absolutely incredible! Lucy is a truly amazingly talented individual and is such an inspiration to me and should be such an inspiration to everyone. I'm in awe ❤

[gmailrockmcbride]

Amazing! All anyone needs is for their talent to be discovered, no matter what it is. Everyone has something, some people just don't have the opportunity to explore their gifts and abilities.

I have travelled to three continents to listen to Lang Lang but this young girls performances are made of magical stuff.

[garynumanfanforever]

Lucy is a very beautiful white light, in a very dark and cynical world. We need you to shine forever for us. A mind blowing talent, who I can listen too for hours. Candice and Daniel are wonderful human beings.
