World’s Best Musicians Absolute Winner

Tanmay Chetan Shridhar

Hello!

I have been studying classical piano for the past three years. I began my training in India under a Russian piano teacher, where I developed a strong technical foundation. I currently study at Four Notes Music Institute, Abu Dhabi, under Ms. Jouman Omran, focusing on technique, musicality, and classical repertoire.

I am a passionate and disciplined young pianist with a growing interest in classical music. I maintain a disciplined practice routine of 1–2 hours daily. My repertoire spans Baroque, Classical, and modern works, and I continue to focus on developing technical precision and expressive performance.
