Meagan Pandian — Pianist & Music Educator

The piano has been an important part of Meagan’s musical foundation and continues to be an integral part of her work as a musician and educator.

She studied piano with the late Rita Gomes, Regina D’Souza, Patricia D’Cunnha and Blossom Mendonca. She also studied piano performance at summer schools at The Royal Conservatory of Scotland (Glasgow) and The Chetam’s School of Music (Manchester). She has had masterclasses with Karl Lutchmeyer, Mark Troop and Stephen Kovacevich among others. Meagan has participated in The Young Talent Concert Series in 2012 organized by the Stop Gaps Cultural Academy. In 2014, Meagan won the Young Musician of the Year Award from the Olga and Jules Craen Foundation which supported her to attend the Acadamie Internationale D'été De Nice (France), where she received guidance from internationally celebrated pianists such as Pascal Rogé, Philippe Entremont and Shani Diluka. As part of the Young Musician of the Year concert series, Meagan gave solo piano recitals at Mazda Hall (Pune) with The Pune Music Society, The Art Chamber (Goa), Musee Musical (Chennai), The Calcutta School of Music, The Bangalore School of Music and The Cottage Chamber Series (Mysore) culminating in a solo concert at The National Centre for the Performing Arts, Mumbai. Meagan has completed her Licentiate with the Trinity College London (LTCL) and DipABRSM in piano performance.

As a pianist, Meagan has accompanied instrumentalists for their Trinity Guildhall and ABRSM exams, accompanied the students of The School of Ballet and Western Dance for their international ballet exams, accompanied the adult choir and students at The Mehli Mehta Music Foundation, assisted The Discover Music Programme at The Mehli Mehta Music Foundation, accompanied The Living Voices Choir and taught keyboard at The Fazlani L’ Académie International Baccalaureate School in Mumbai. She has given solo performances at The Russian Centre of Culture, Alliance Française de Bombay and The Little Theatre and Experimental Theatre of the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA).

Her experience in piano performance has complemented her work across other instruments and in music education. As a teacher, she approaches music as a whole, encouraging students to develop listening, rhythm, musical understanding, improvisation and music theory skills alongside instrumental skills. Her experience teaching both privately and in educational settings has allowed her to work with students in individual and group environments, adapting her approach to meet different ages, abilities and stages of musical development.
