- Edge Hill University and Belle Vue Assessment Centre present 'Communication: The Key To Success' Conference Addressing Autism / Asperger's Syndrome.
Derek Paravicini has a unique talent and can play any piece of music after hearing it only once. Introduced by Prof Adam Ockelford, University of Roehampton.
Amazing......so happy that Derek found such a warm and patient teacher.
They should make a movie about these two men.
Actually such a good ideq
+Giulio Tombari - There is a book called In The Key of Genius, written by his teacher, Adam.
Giulio Tombari Doyou mean like rain man? Because there's already a documentary about them.
Agreed, but Derek will have to dub in ALL of the piano parts…he’s the one and only.
love this guy .. his disability opened up a part of his brain that's locked for almost all of us
He doesn't EVER seem to make a mistake - mind boggling...
Playing piano is to him as walking is to us. We don't drip that often, and neither do his fingers.
Derek stands up, scoots over a little bit, and then sits down again. And yet he puts his hands down exactly on the notes he wants without hunting around. Stunning.
Right?! It is so incredible!!!
I saw that too!
Found out about him yesterday, watched everything I can find so far and I just realized that he literally even talks music. He singsongs everything he says. Just a really genuine soul
The bond these two have is so moving,almost divine and untouchable.Hard to put into words,just soul-stuff and too beautiful 😍
His teacher and Derek, should be awarded with something like an MBE for not only his work and bond with Derek but the inspiration both of them have on the rest of the country and world for that matter. I'm glued to these videos, truly inspirational on so many levels!
This guy is my hero, period
I loved how his friend and teacher genuinely enjoyed his music. He also seems to guide derek a bit for his and our enjoyment.
Love how nothing ever fazes this guy. Turns left, turns right, listens to Adam and sings and still doesn't mess up. A legit genius! Plays stuff on the spot from memory, makes stuff up, plays in any style. Sure there are other pianists who can do that, but Derek's also austistic and blind and has such personality
Other musicians can't do it nearly as well and in so many different styles with zero practice like Derek can
I love the fact that he was given this talent so he can have a meaningful and wonderful life. He enjoys playing music and he looks forward to it every day. He looked so at peace and much joy whenever he plays the piano.
Länge leve båda två .Du lockar fram det bästa i honom solie duo gloria Amen
Praise God for people like Derek!!
Real talent is so cool to watch.
Great guy, much respect.
Sooooooo AMAZING!!! God gave the world a precious talented soul in Derek. May God Bless him with a long and happy life. And many thanks and blessings on those who care for and nurture him.
This man is both astonishing and endearing, I am a fan.
See what human are capable of doing... this gentleman is pure Genious
the stairway to heaven touched me in a very deep way
+Sarah Young the semitones at 7:00
Instantly moved me to tears!
What a pure delight to see such carefree, unbridled joy and love of musical expression. I'm a lowly grade 3 at best but I draw inspiration from Derek's genius.
I'm a lowly grade 3 at best, too, despite such effort to learn. He is incredible and I so wish I could play even half as well as him!
Heh, I love how in this performance you can hear Adam's coaching. Very cool.
I think adam genuinely enjoys it as well.
DEREK YOU ARE COMPLETELY AMAZING,GOD HAS BLESSED YOU AND I ENJOY YOUR GIFT VERY MUCH!!!!
Each one of us has broken parts, through no fault of our own. Love heals. When one with blind eyes can show us the world, it makes you wonder.
doesn't only remember the notes, but also an incredible performer w/ good intonation
Quite apart from autism, his playing is wise and gentle, funny yet powerful, full of emotion, perfected to the highest level, teaching us about the universe. Astounding. Derek's playing seems as natural as a summer breeze. Plus he looks a little like Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas".
His a MUSICAL GENIUS ... ! ... bless his heart.!
Derek Pavacini's talent defies description, unfathomable comes to mind, compulsive listening. His teacher is to be applauded also for his years of teaching and guiding this young man.
18:00 Oh man, that just cracked me up. Derek will do WHATEVER you tell him... exactly how you tell it. This way, the other way, no this way, other way. Seems like Derek likes to play on that sarcasm a bit which is so awesome to have. Makes him really seem so relatable. Love it.
The gentlemen is a real life angel of mercy as seems to be the best friend anyone could ever have. i have much love and admiration for Derek and his teacher; and have for many years now; I always with the best for Derek and always in my thoughts when I think of the greatest people that ever lived.
I love this guy so much! Incredible and brilliant talent. I'm so happy that he found the music and this awsome teacher of him. His definition of the notes are amazing and his absolute pitch. You can play to him even how difficult chord at all and he will repeat it instantly by one single hearing. Just unbelievable!
Tiger Rag rendition was incredible. One of my favourite tunes!
Movie... "he was touched by angels"... Eastern promises. He was seriously touched by angels. Supertalented
I’m blown away!!!!! Wow!!!!!
When you see Derrick singing the melody lyrics nd see the rag choices he makes... to Do that together is unbelievable
I really enjoyed Derek's use of louder/softer dynamics ❤
Beyond genius!
he is the god of piano ..
The man is amazing.
That makes me snile! Amazing performance!

I love this fella.
I desperately want to play him the Lovesexy concert version of Venus di Milo by Prince, and ask him to play it for me.
I'd like Derek to have other instruments to try as well, like a Moog, Arp, Hammond organ and that new keyboard with touch sensitive sliding keys.
The guy's very special.
I love see him singing too🤗🤗🤗🤗

Too bad they didn’t turn the piano so we could actually see what he was playing!
The guy probably thought noone could hear him, probably really embarrassed now :P
assad amirxaefarouki I meant the trainer :P humming
:P
lass ihm singen!
Gotta love Derek, maybe a bit less prompting and interruptions from the guy with the beard when Derek is playing as I found it a little annoying
That's Adam, Derek's piano teacher for the blind who has been working with Derek since he was 5 years old. During presentations, he needs musical prompts and guidance from Adam.
Adam seems a little too... controlling.
Not being rude, But when dealing with a person as "handicapped" as Derek, you must be pretty firm. i understand where you are coming from, though.
Yep. He probably needs really strict directions. He has no talent with words at all and wouldn't understand Adam fast enough otherwise, I guess. And he's being really nice and calm with Derek still.
Why does this guy hum along with the performance? Ruins it for me.
Well he has learning disabilities, hes gonna hum if he wants
his teacher is the one who is humming. not derek.
LimEBoy his teacher hums like twice the entire time
The teacher is humming as a form of coaching. He is helping Derek with dynamics, style, and rhythm.
Being that he keeps turning on the hand mic, I'm pretty sure he had no idea his lapel mic was on. It's a small window into his coaching style that you wouldn't otherwise see, so I didn't mind it to much. I'm sure he'd be horrified to know it made the recording.
