@@chrispycreme9545 she stated what I’m talking about in the video itself. She had to actively learn every key and it’s sound/key, the kid did not. He seemed to be preloaded with the ability and talent she had to learn over years. She said she didn’t want to accidentally teach him something that would slow him down or confuse him.
Imagine if we all had that approach to everyone we meet: this person has something to offer to the world and we don’t want to mess that up. The non attachment, compassion, reverence and encouragement and patience that would be available, wow. More teachers and mentors and humans like this woman.
@@hospagalief coming from personal experience in this area... all music today is sub par to any musician i meet struggling they've monopolised the music industry and thanks to instagram and tik tok you've got to be a narcissist to get places it's changed music entirely... there will never be another movement. the game is over.
@@callumcallaghan8175 lol! This is hands down the best time yet for musicians. It's never been easier to have full control over your music & self release it. There's a looooooot of great music coming out, but it's often in the limelight. You have to actively search it out. Pop wasn't better in the 70s or 80s either. It was just as much of a cash cow.
Yea it is amazing like perfect pitch on its own is quite rare and a very amazing skill but to be able to hear something then perfectly replicate it on piano is on a whole another level
It seems like you are right but how does he have the physical technical skill to do that? I mean u can't just sit behind a piano and play good, right?!
amin fada he must have played the piano before to donthat. No one can play a whole composition at first try of hear something. Because at first u dont know the notes, secondly rhythm and other technical skills he havent learned yet. But I guess he can work logically around it to find out how its played. Like he matches the tones in his head and then moves up or down the piano to find the other notes and then probably find the melody or something thats close to it.
@@aminfada8233 I guess you could say it's like remembering an entire chapter of a book by reading g it once, but for music. Some small amount of people can do it, but not many. It's easier to imagine that ability with reading though as more people read than play music.
Him being someone that can't see and has perfect pitch, I think sounds are for him much the same as sight is for us. Remembering a piece of music for him is like remembering a scene which we just saw happening in front of us, fascinating and amazing
Most people don’t realise that our memory of spaces and images is the best. Memory champions store information as these to remember 100s of digits. If you can’t see it’s unsurprising your brain might find it a lot easier to remember sounds instead.
For example if you were given a list of numbers you could probably only remember 7 but if walk into dominoes house you could probably recite 7 features about each room and where they are a whole week later.
I was lucky to have one like her for a short time. She was clarinetist who taught theory. Haha she was an older lady too! Might try your luck there everyone!!!
I had a vision on lsd about something like that. It would be utopia. We need challenge and to overcome though. Evolution is the water that flows uphill.
The teacher is just as amazing as the kid, both are rare gems. It's nice to hear about such talent and passion in this day and age both have warmed my heart today.
I'm a high school basketball coach. I totally understand what she means when she says she's scared. The responsibility of teaching talented young people is immense.
Thats beautiful. The teacher feels a sort of responsibility to help this young man achieve the world and change it as he goes. Simply awesome I hope he finds everything he wants
Amazing talent! Glad to hear her words “you don’t want to mess that up, you don’t want to squelch it, you want to make it possible!” The mark of an excellent instructor!
You should really check out the blind pianist derek paravacinini hes blind and autistic and hes an absolute monster on the piano i feel bad comparing these two because theyre both incredible in their own right but derek is in his own league with piano hes a savant like rain man
Well it’s talking about the teacher not the student her reaction not his lol. You can check out his videos and his concert and how amazing he is not a kid anymore.

That teacher is so inspiring. If everyone understood what children had to offer, and were so careful to encourage them without being overbearing it would be wonderful. Great story.
Such an amazing story. The humility of a professionally trained classical pianist to recognize someone whose gifts are beyond their own is not often seen and so joyfully expressed. She is undoubtedly a one in a million type of teacher and musician. While schools want math and English at the forefront there is no question of the importance of music education when seeing such stories.
The approach his teacher with Matt is the exact same approach we should all tale toward children. All children have something special to offer that should not be ruined but cultivated and nurtured with great care. Jesus is Risen!
She not only looks like my grandmother, but she reminds me of her so much. Playing the piano was her favorite thing to do. Thank you for bringing back such wonderful memories for me. What a wonderful story all around.
This reminds me of the great Nobuyuki Tsiji who is a blind from birth concert pianist who has played all the great concertos in some of the greatest venues ie The Royal Albert Hall.Sydney Opera House and Carnegie Hall
