That didn’t _________ me. I drew a keyboard onto a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would _________ notes on an online keyboard and “play” them back on my paper one — keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without _________ a real piano. As my mum found I was _________ about it, she bought me 10 lessons with borrowed money.
I still remember the first one. I was _________ by how organic the sound of the piano was, as I had become familiar with the _________ electronic sound. The teacher was trying to explain where middle C was, but I could _________ play all the major and minor scales.
I sat my grade one after eight lessons and got distinction. By the time I started secondary school, we couldn’t _________ lessons again, so I returned to my paper keyboard. I passed grade three, then grade five, practising only on my piece of paper.

Later Jack did nothing but lie in bed, sighing all day. His mother felt miserable, telling him to live with his disability, work hard and change his life on his own. She said, “Son, since you have lost your sight and nothing can change that, you have to accept it. There are things you can’t do. But there are lots of things you can do. You have a creative mind. Find something you enjoy and stick with it, no matter what.”
The future didn’t seem too bright for a blind child from the countryside. But as this young boy thought about his mother’s words, about what he really wanted to do with his life, he dreamed of becoming a star. So as a child, he would practice playing the piano and singing each day from then on.
Once one of his classmates heard him practicing at school and told him, “You can’t play the piano, and you can’t sing either. These things are meaningless for you. You are doomed to be a loser.”
