A video of a piano prodigy singing and playing Queen's iconic song "Bohemian Rhapsody" has won the hearts of netizens on Youtube. The internet sensation will now be playing in front of a crowd for a benefit concert.

Avett Ray Maness, a 6-year-old boy from Ohio, United States, was born with a condition that had caused him to be blind in one eye and visually impaired in the other. This disability, however, did not stop him from learning how to play the piano all by himself.

Last year, Zhang Pei Shan passed by a grand piano and told her parents she wanted to perform for a large audience.

And tomorrow, she will be doing just that - at a concert organised by the Beautiful Mind Charity (BMC) - in front of more than 500 people at the Singapore School of The Arts.

The concert is a platform for disabled students from the BMC to perform.

What if you are handicapped; can you learn to play the piano? Or if you become handicapped; can you continue to play the piano?
Check the comments below to learn more about these inspirational pianists in short documentary-like segments. Add anyone else that you might know below too. Thanks.

I think in Singapore, there's this Purple movement or something.

I attended the inaugural True Colors Concert and was humbled by the performances; the participants are all handicapped in some way.

There was a pianist from Singapore - Azariah Tan - he's almost deaf - but he played Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu very well. Other performances hailed from across the globe; with one other pianist (Seong Il Kim), violinists, excellent singers, talented dancers, a digital orchestra, and even an enthusiastic Children's Choir.

It was an excellent night that I will not soon forget!

Has anyone ever taught dyslexic students? What is your experience teaching them; like will they have problems reading music notes or understanding concepts of rhythm and/or note/rest values? And how would you help them overcome their problem - for eg. would you use large staves/notes, marking on the piano keys, etc.?
