Hi, I’m Ajey- a pianist and teacher based in Pune. I enjoy exploring music, learning new things, and sharing what I discover along the way. I teach classical and jazz piano, play live when I get an opportunity, and sometimes write blogs about my experiences as a teacher and learner.

You’ll also find some teaching videos and music content on my YouTube channel. If that sounds interesting, scroll down to read the latest posts or explore more about what I do.
