About Tuhin

Tuhin Rao is a piano educator, classical pianist, composer, and music technologist with over 20 years of teaching experience. Based in Pune and Dubai, he runs a private piano studio offering one-on-one lessons in piano performance, music theory, improvisation, composition, and digital music production, both in person and online.

He holds an LTCL (Licentiate in Piano Recital), an LMusTCL (Licentiate in Music Theory), and a Master’s degree in Physics. His students have consistently scored distinctions in Trinity, ABRSM, and RCM examinations, with many going on to pursue advanced diplomas and creative careers.

Drawing from his background in physics and a deep interest in piano technology, he regularly tunes and voices his own Yamaha grand pianos in pursuit of refined tone, balance, and responsiveness—an approach that has also shaped the development of Inside Music, a structured set of tools and resources supporting listening, theory, and musical understanding.
