After trying different things in the field of music, Nakul went for music composition. Later he started his own music school and has been teaching music to students.

Nakul Jogdeo is a Pianist and Founder-director at Gunjarav School of Music.

Nakul hails from Pune, Maharashtra.

Nakul says that his father is a musician too, and he started learning music from him in his childhood, which developed his interest in the field. When he was in school, he started taking classes in Indian classical music and also appeared for exams at Gandharva Mahavidyalaya. After completing his schooling, he did his college education in Graphic Design, but side by side, he also learned to play the piano and got a diploma in it. He also won three national competitions. His expertise lies in Western classical music.

Sharing about his journey, Nakul says that he was learning Indian classical music and also how to play the harmonium in his school but he also wanted to learn Music Composition. He found a professor and took a Music Appreciation course under him. He dedicated his eight years to learning how to play the piano from a famous teacher in Pune. Meanwhile, he was also teaching and working on music composition. He also worked on documentaries and commercial films. He also gave background music for a Marathi feature film. After some time, he started his own school, where they give one-on-one classes to their students.

Talking about his mistakes, Nakul says that in his childhood, he was already good at music, so he took it for granted and feels that he should have devoted more time to practice.

When asked about his role models, Nakul says that his father and teachers have been his role models, and artists like Pt. Bhimsen Joshi and Ustad Amir Khan inspire him. He is currently learning from a British pianist and aspires to be like him.

Nakul’s life mantra is to practice his art every day.

In his spare time, Nakul plays chess. He likes to sing and play other instruments too.

To all those who want to learn to play the piano, Nakul says that the piano is a keyboard instrument with strings struck by wooden hammers coated with a softer material and needs more arm work to strike the keys. He advises that learning piano will eventually help you in music composition too.
