True Colors Festival: Blind Bridgend pianist to perform in Japan
"Obviously I learn pieces in different ways," says blind pianist Rachel Starritt.
She said she first listens to different versions of the music, then goes through the fingerings with her teacher. 
28-year-old, who has Asperger's, can learn entire concertos by ear and has perfect pitch.  
Rachel became the first blind person to study for a music degree at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff.
Now she is among almost 100 disabled performers from a dozen countries at True Colors, an arts festival in Japan.
