PIANO EDUCATOR | PERFORMER
Meet Joshua, the piano teacher who challenges the status quo
Joshua’s musical journey began at the age of 4 in Surabaya, Indonesia, where his parents noticed his natural talent for piano. With their support, he pursued competitions across Southeast Asia, winning awards in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. In 2019, Joshua moved to the Netherlands to study classical piano under the guidance of Henry Kelder and has since made a name for himself with his remarkable performances. Now, Joshua continues his master studies at Utrecht Conservatorium.
"I came from a small family in Surabaya, Indonesia and since I was 4 years old, piano has been my companion in every season of my life. Whenever I got bad grades at school, my mom was being annoying, or when I got my new girlfriend – music has been the way to express myself. Sometimes I am lazy like a panda, and other days I am highly motivated like Cristiano Ronaldo. We simply can’t separate music from life."
