How Does Derek Practice?π΅
Derek is a prodigious autistic musical savant and famous blind pianist. We thought we'd show some of what it's like working with Derek as he practices. He really thrives on suggestions and collaboration as he creates his music and comes up with new ideas. Watch for the one-handed chord + melody improv at 01:27. Amazing!π΅
π¨πΉABOUT DEREK:
Derek Paravicini is a musical savant. His extraordinary talent developed alongside blindness, severe autism and learning difficulties. With the gift of perfect pitch, a photographic musical memory, the ability to transpose anything instantly to any key, and his incredible abilities to learn by ear and improvise, Derek loves connecting with people via his music and absolutely loves taking requests for songs, styles and keys!
