Tipwatoo Aramwittaya

Tipwatoo (Pin) Aramwittaya, a Steinway Educational Partner, founder and vice president of Thailand International Piano Festival and founder of Pin’s Piano Studio, has a lifelong mission to　groom, inspire and plant a musical seed in the hearts of the younger generations. As such, she combines her multifaceted skills from her B.Sc. in Biomedical Science from Mahidol University International College, M.Sc in Performance Science and M. Perf in piano performance from the Royal College of Music, London.

Starting piano lessons at the age of 5, she had always invested time in music, winning several piano competitions, but it was not until she graduated from her undergraduate degree that she realized her true passion lies in music. That was when she decided to set foot in this path. Her debut piano recital in Bangkok in 2014 was a huge success, which was followed by her obtaining an FTCL diploma and winning third prize from the Osaka International Music Competition.

She has had the opportunity to take masterclasses both in Thailand and abroad with numerous acclaimed artists such as Ms. Rebecca Penneys, Christopher Harding, Roberta Rust, Tannis Gibson, Artas Balakauskas, and Martin Widmaier. At the Royal College of Music, she has been selected to perform in several concerts including the 150 years Bach-Busoni concert, Keyboard Music Festival and several Rush hour and Lunchtime concerts. She had also taken the initiative when His Majesty the King of Thailand passed away to put together a full house remembrance concert, playing H.M. the King’s compositions.

With a science background, the MSc in Performance Science course at the Royal College of Music was an exciting opportunity for Pin to explore the science behind musical performance, shedding light on the different aspects of what it means to be and what is involved in being a performer.

During her studies in London, she worked closely under the supervision of Professor Gordon Fergus Thompson. As a chamber musician, she enjoys working with string players and had received coaching from renowned teachers such as Richard Lester, Jane Chapman and Geoffrey Govier on period instruments such as the fortepiano and the harpsichord. Alongside classical music, she also enjoys exploring exciting contemporary repertoires. She was a collaborative pianist for the saxophone studio at the College of Music, Mahidol University.
