21st Century Deaf Beethoven

Looks like I spoke too soon again!

 "He's being hailed as a modern-day Beethoven - a performer and composer of exquisite classical music and an accomplished conductor, too."

A native of South Wales in United Kingdom (England), Lloyd Coleman,  is taking the world of classical music by storm. His gift was discovered when he was only 5 years old. "He had perfectly drawn five stave lines, and then added notes to make his very first musical composition." He always carried paper in his pocket and continued to scribble whatever appeared in his head.

Currently a member of the National Youth Orchestra, he was offered a coveted place to study music at Oxford University. He is only 17 years old. "It comes as no surprise to learn that this extraordinary young man, blessed with a steely determination, has fulfilled his childhood dream by playing in the Royal Albert Hall. His mother says proudly, 'Lloyd now has a new ambition  -  to return there and conduct an orchestra during the Proms.' She pauses and adds, 'Knowing Lloyd, it is a case of when  -  not if  -  he will make it happen.'"

One more thing. He is not only Deaf, but he's also Blind!

So again, let me ask you, does music truly touch everyone's heart regardless?
