Derek Paravicini is a musical savant. His extraordinary gifts developed alongside blindness, learning difficulties and severe autism. For Derek, music is a vital avenue of communication and understanding in an often confusing world. With an instinctive grasp of harmony and perfect pitch, Derek is a wonderfully creative musician and virtuoso pianist who remembers everything that he hears and can effortlessly switch style and key.
Derek absolutely LOVES sharing his music with the world, taking requests and hearing comments, so please do leave some ideas for him! #neurodiversity #talent #epic #mindblowing #incredible #amazingpeople #positivevibes #positivity #motivation #happy #genius #neurodiversity #music #autism #inspiring #awesome #skills #amazing

Derek is streaming on KZfaq on the first Sunday of every month and taking live requests! Music is very much Derek's way of reaching other people and so it really means a lot for him to have this kind of interaction with his fans. He is having an absolute ton of fun taking your suggestions and trying new things.❤Here is the full video of Derek improvising on Peril in Pantomime after hearing it once -

Aside from having perfect pitch, he also has incredible memory, rhythm and feel.

About 20 years ago I was doing a degree piece on autistic savants. I had the huge pleasure of meeting Derek. I visited him at his house. He played piano for me, we went for a walk in the countryside around his house, then back home for more music. I got the feeling he would’ve happily played all day for me if had wanted him to. Watching and listening to him play was incredible. He was charming and lovely guy.

I watched a hour or so long documentary on him and it’s not just that he can quickly memorize and perfectly play anything he hears. It’s more that he makes the music his own, in hearing and memorizing it, when he plays he ads slight subtle variations that are intentional and are present in any of the greatest pianists of all time. They had multiple expert pianists in the documentary all praising him for his ability to include subtle improvisations into his pieces, even upon hearing a piece for the first time ever. He is a savant for sure, but more than just able to quickly learn or memorize, he is on another level not seen before.

Derek doesn’t have perfect pitch, perfect pitch has Derek.

@colouredmirrorball

Perfect pitch isn't that rare. Having the memory to remember a whole song at once, is. If I say a whole poem to you, you'll understand my words, but can you then recite the poem back to me immediately?

@midvvolf

In addition to perfect pitch, and incredible memory, Derek seems like a chill guy

@Unbalance32

How my teachers expect me to perform after listening to the instructions with no questions asked

@SpencerLuxBurton

I'd say he's even better at distinguishing tones than we are with colors. Extraordinary.

@thefootyphantom851

Got the chance to see him in a live performance. He’s even more incredible than what this video shows, trust me.

@DavidGregory-qw4ws

I seriously consider this a superpower

@TheRomanceGuru

Perfect pitch with audio-graphic memory and physically gifted at the piano creates this musical genius.

@grante3679

My mom used to sit for a blind autistic girl that was around ten. She was non verbal but she would sit with her different instruments and here a tune on TV then immediately play it. It blew my mind.

@OptiJ

savants are a glimpse inside of a window of the awesomeness of human potential

@DerekLMcAllister

My name is also Derek. Glad to see Dereks getting recognition. 😊

@adameppleman1911

I'd say this dude has about 10-15 rare gifts. Dear Lord that's impressive.

@miguelurdaci7884

It's far more than absolute perfect pitch. Memory, piano fingering technique and styles and tempo.

@anonglakmoonwicha2726

I'm about two months in to my efforts to improve my audio recognition of notes. lots of exercises.. lots of getting it wrong, but lots of excitement when I don't get it wrong.

@ZataMachi

The human brain is so mesmerizing! Imagine the processing going on!

@j0hnn13K

i remember him from a special on tv, many many years ago, he's not only able to replay entire pieces right after hearing them, he'll even remember it years later, the man has 1000's of songs archived in his mind.
