ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Derek Paravicini - Musician
Pianist Derek Paravicini understands music systematically. Once a child prodigy, he’s matured into a creative musician, able to reimagine songs in ways few can.

Why you should listen

Derek Paravicini weighed half a kilogram when he was born, prematurely at just 25 weeks. Growing up blind and with severe autism, Paravicini had trouble communicating, but was fascinated by sound. He began teaching himself how to play the piano and, by 4-years-old, had taught himself an incredible catalogue of songs that he played with unusual technique. Soon, Paravicini began studying with Adam Ockelford, a teacher at the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London, who saw in him the marks of a highly inventive musician. Paravicini gave his first concert at age 7 and, two years later, played the Barbican Hall.

Now in his thirties, Paravicini has continued to grow as a performer, with the ability to reimagine complex pieces of music even after only hearing them once. He was featured in the series Extraordinary People in the United Kingdom and, in the United States, on Stan Lee's Superhumans, which verified his musical ability and confirmed his savantism. Paravicini has also worked with composer Matthew King. The two have played improvised pieces on BBC Radio and collaborated on Blue, the first concerto ever composed for someone with learning impairment.

Adam Ockelford - Music teacher
A composer and music teacher who has long worked with children with special needs, Adam Ockelford is interested in the psychology of music.

Why you should listen

In the 1970s, Adam Ockelford began teaching music at the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London. He was excited to find that many of his students showed tremendous talent for music. The experience drove a deep interest in how people intuitively understand music, and how this understanding is different for people with disabilities.

Ockelford is now a Professor of Music at the University of Roehampton, the Chair of Soundabout -- a charity which supports music education for children -- and founder of the AMBER Trust, which supports visually impaired children in their pursuit of music. He is also Secretary of the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE).

Ockelford has one student who he has taught since the 1980s—pianist Derek Paravicini, who gave his first concert at age 7. Now in his 30s, Paravicini stll regularly thrills audiences with his piano talents, with his mentor Ockelford at his side.

3519
保姆的另一项远见
01:37
perhaps也许 we should get Derek德里克 something to play,
30
85371
3335
是建议德里克练习乐器
01:40
and sure enough足够, she dragged this little keyboard键盘
31
88706
3636
然后,她就把阁楼里的迷你钢琴
01:44
out of the loft阁楼, never thinking思维 really

03:45

03:48
and yet然而 he taught himself他自己 to play that.
67
216026
2301
却自学成才学会了弹奏钢琴
03:50
And as you can see from the picture图片,
68
218327
1232
正如照片所示
03:51
there was quite相当 a lot of body身体 action行动 going on
69
219559
2359
当德里克弹奏的时候
03:53
while you were playing播放, Derek德里克.
70
221918
1801
有很多的身体动作
03:55
Now, along沿 -- Derek德里克 and I met会见 when he was four and a half years年份 old,
71
223719
4570
我和德里克是在他四岁半的时候相识
04:00
and at first, Derek德里克, I thought you were mad, to be honest诚实,
72
228289
3818
起初,老实说,德里克我以为你疯了
04:04
because when you played发挥 the piano钢琴,
73
232107
1814
因为当你弹钢琴的时候
04:05
you seemed似乎 to want to play every一切 single note注意 on the keyboard键盘,
74
233921
2917
你好像试图弹奏键盘上的每一个音符
04:08
and also you had this little habit习惯
75
236838
1408
你还有这样一个小习惯
04:10
of hitting me out of the way.
76
238246
2183
习惯打我把我赶走
04:12
So as soon不久 as I tried试着 to get near the piano钢琴,
77
240429
1806
每当我想要接近钢琴
04:14
I was firmly牢牢 shoved off.
78
242235
2148
就会被顽强地推开
04:16
And having said to your dad, Nic尼克,
79
244383
2684
你还对父亲尼克说
04:19
that I would try to teach you, I was then slightly confused困惑
80
247067
2495
我想要教你弹琴,把我给弄糊涂了
04:21
as to how I might威力 go about that
81
249562
1587
那我该怎么教你呢
04:23
if I wasn't allowed允许 near the piano钢琴.
82
251149
2401
如果我不能接近钢琴的话
04:25
But after a while, I thought, well, the only way
83
253550
2177
不多久,我想到,唯一的方法就是
04:27
is to just pick you up, shove Derek德里克 over to the other side of the room房间,
84
255727
4101
把你抱起来,放到房间的另外一边
04:31
and in the 10 seconds that I got before Derek德里克 came来了 back,
85
259828
3144
在德里克走回来的十秒内
04:34
I could just play something very quickly很快
86
262972
2177
我能很快地弹奏一段
04:37
for him to learn学习.
87
265149
1992
供他学习
04:39
And in the end结束, Derek德里克, I think you agreed同意
88
267141
1402
最后,德里克,我想你也同意
04:40
that we could actually其实 have some fun开玩笑 playing播放 the piano钢琴 together一起.
89
268543
3980
其实我们可以一起弹得很开心
04:44
As you can see, there's me in my early,
90
272523
2825
你看,这是我年轻时
04:47
pre-marriage婚前 days with a brown棕色 beard胡子,
91

2239

04:49
and little Derek德里克 concentrating集中 there.
92
277587
3646
小德里克在照片里全神贯注
04:53
I just realized实现 this is going to be recorded记录, isn't it? Right. Okay.
93
281233
2544
我刚意识到这段话会录像的对吗?好吧
04:55
(Laughter笑声)
94
283777
1302
(笑声)
04:57
Now then, by the age年龄 of 10, Derek德里克 really
95
285079
4221
然后,到了十岁,德里克
05:01
had taken采取 the world世界 by storm风暴.
96
289300
2052

05:03

05:08
Basically基本上 it was just an exciting扣人心弦 journey旅程, really.
99
296081
4569
那是一场鼓舞人心的旅程
05:12
And in those days, Derek德里克, you didn't speak说话 very much,
100
300650
2141
那段日子里,德里克,你话不多
05:14
and so there was always a moment时刻 of tension张力
101
302791
2311
所以总会有紧张的时候
05:17
as to whether是否 you'd actually其实 understood了解 what it was we were going to play
102
305102
2961
因为不知道你是否真的明白我们要表演什么
05:20
and whether是否 you'd play the right piece in the right key,
103
308063
2511
或者你是否会用正确的音调弹奏正确的曲目
05:22
and all that kind of thing.
104
310574
1459
所有类似种种担心
05:24
But the orchestra乐队 were wowed惊叹 as well,
105
312033
2825
但乐队成员也对你大为赞赏
05:26

106
314858
3857
世界媒体也被你的能力所折服
05:30
to play these fantastic奇妙 pieces.
107
318715
3337
在听了你所弹奏的那些美妙的曲目后
05:34
Now the question is, how do you do it, Derek德里克?
108
322052
3062
现在问题是,你是怎么做到的,德里克?
05:37
And hopefully希望 we can show显示 the audience听众 now
109
325114

05:39
how it is you do what you do.
110
327685
3052
你是如何做到这些的
05:42
I think that one of the first things that happened发生
111
330737
1833
我想首先一点
05:44
when you were very little, Derek德里克,
112
332570
1277
当你小的时候,德里克
05:45
was that by the time you were two,
113
333847
2336
大概两岁的时候
05:48
your musical音乐 ear had already已经 outstripped抛离 that of most adults成年人.
114
336183
4979
你对音乐的认知已经超越了大多数的成人
05:53
And so whenever每当 you heard听说 any note注意 at all --
115
341162
2798
所以每当你听到音符
05:55
if I just play a random随机 note注意 --
116
343960
1904
如果我随机地弹奏一个音符
05:57
(Piano钢琴 notes笔记) --
117
345864
2413
(钢琴音符)
06:00
you knew知道 instantly即刻 what it was,
118
348292
1891
你马上就知道那是哪个音,
06:02
and you'd got the ability能力 as well to find that note注意 on the piano钢琴.
119
350183
4238
并且能够马上在钢琴上找到那个音
06:06
Now that's called perfect完善 pitch沥青,
120

10:26
you'd learned学到了 the version that you'd learned学到了,
181
614665
2089
你学了一个版本
10:28
and then the orchestra乐队, in fact事实, did have a different不同 version,
182
616754
2229
而乐队实际上演奏的是另一个版本
10:30
so while we were waiting等候 in the two hours小时
183

2478
因而我们两小时候场
10:33
before the rehearsal排演 and the concert音乐会,
184
621461
2002
在音乐会和排练之前
10:35
Derek德里克 listened听了 to the different不同 version and learned学到了 it quickly很快
185
623463
2240
德里克听了不同的版本并很快地学会了
10:37
and then was able能够 to play it with the orchestra乐队.

10:48
we ask the audience听众 to participate参加, of course课程,
190
636935
2830
我们都会邀请观众参与
10:51
by suggesting提示 a piece Derek德里克 might威力 like to play.
191
639765
3764
选一首曲子让德里克弹奏
10:55
And people say, "Well, that's terribly可怕 brave勇敢
192
643529
1522
人们会说:“那真是非常大胆
10:57
because what happens发生 if Derek德里克 doesn't know it?"
193
645051
2225
如果德里克不会弹怎么办呢?”
10:59
And I say, "No, it's not brave勇敢 at all,
194
647276
1012
我会说:“那一点也不大胆,
11:00
because if you ask for something that Derek德里克 doesn't know,
195
648288
2652
因为如果你选了德里克不知道的曲子,
11:02
you're invited邀请 to come and sing it first,
196
650940
1601
你可以先上台来唱
11:04
and then he'll地狱 pick it up." (Laughter笑声)
197
652541
2486
然后他就会弹了。”(笑声)
11:07
So just be thoughtful周到 before you suggest建议 something too outlandish异乎寻常.
198
655027
4715
所以在选太偏的曲子前可要三思
11:11
But seriously认真地, would anyone任何人 like to choose选择 a piece?
199
659742
3717
但言归正传,有人想选一首曲子吗?
11:15
DPDP: Choose选择 a piece. Choose选择, choose选择, would you like to choose选择?

来形容德里克“人形iPod”
13:46
which哪一个 I think is just missing失踪 the point, really,
218
814044
2356

13:48
because Derek德里克, you're so much more than an iPodiPod的.
219
816400

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Derek Paravicini - Musician
Pianist Derek Paravicini understands music systematically. Once a child prodigy, he’s matured into a creative musician, able to reimagine songs in ways few can.

Why you should listen

Derek Paravicini weighed half a kilogram when he was born, prematurely at just 25 weeks. Growing up blind and with severe autism, Paravicini had trouble communicating, but was fascinated by sound. He began teaching himself how to play the piano and, by 4-years-old, had taught himself an incredible catalogue of songs that he played with unusual technique. Soon, Paravicini began studying with Adam Ockelford, a teacher at the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London, who saw in him the marks of a highly inventive musician. Paravicini gave his first concert at age 7 and, two years later, played the Barbican Hall.

Now in his thirties, Paravicini has continued to grow as a performer, with the ability to reimagine complex pieces of music even after only hearing them once. He was featured in the series Extraordinary People in the United Kingdom and, in the United States, on Stan Lee's Superhumans, which verified his musical ability and confirmed his savantism. Paravicini has also worked with composer Matthew King. The two have played improvised pieces on BBC Radio and collaborated on Blue, the first concerto ever composed for someone with learning impairment.

Adam Ockelford - Music teacher
A composer and music teacher who has long worked with children with special needs, Adam Ockelford is interested in the psychology of music.

Why you should listen

In the 1970s, Adam Ockelford began teaching music at the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London. He was excited to find that many of his students showed tremendous talent for music. The experience drove a deep interest in how people intuitively understand music, and how this understanding is different for people with disabilities.

Ockelford is now a Professor of Music at the University of Roehampton, the Chair of Soundabout -- a charity which supports music education for children -- and founder of the AMBER Trust, which supports visually impaired children in their pursuit of music. He is also Secretary of the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE).

Ockelford has one student who he has taught since the 1980s—pianist Derek Paravicini, who gave his first concert at age 7. Now in his 30s, Paravicini stll regularly thrills audiences with his piano talents, with his mentor Ockelford at his side.
