Instruments: Piano Guitar Clarinet Bass Guitar Synthesizer Recorder
Every student is different and has their own taste in music. I hope to help every student find the same joy in playing music as they do in their listening. This requires two important aspects: development of technique/facility on one's instrument, and a sense of acheiving one's personal musical goals. I try to give every student basic exercises to work on to develop facility on their given instrument, but I tailor those exercises towards music that the student has expressed interest in learning.

I always try to guide my instruction in a fun and engaging direction to keep the student interested and motivated to get better. I am able to do this by being energetic and enthusiastic about my teaching and I feel its important to make the material matter to the student. When a student has confidence in their abilities they are able to achieve much success on their specific instrument. As I also previously mentioned, getting to know what inspires a student and knowing them on a more personal level helps develop a better student/teacher relationship and thus yields a better outcome on the instrument.

Once it becomes clear what excites the student the most, I provide the nourishment and structure necessary for fun and progression. I custom tailor our lessons to their wants and needs. If the student has been playing their instrument without lessons I investigate what sounds and styles they apparently are drawn to and consider that when planning lessons. I do a lot of prep work at home and often custom design printouts to supplement any book we will be reading from. Read More

Students learn best in a relaxed, nurturing environment. I believe in order to successfully teach, I need to be encouraging, and truly care about the students. My goal is to always have the students improve. To do this, I think students need a well-balanced diet of tone (Moyse De la Senorite can be used), technique (scales for younger students, Maquarre Daily Excercises or Taffanel and Gaubert Daily Excercises for more advanced students), etudes (Melodious and Progressive Studies), and pieces (I consult the NYSSMA manual for appropriate pieces for the students level). Having taken Alexander Technique, I strongly emphasize posture so that students can use their bodies in the most efficient way. Individualized instruction allows for teachers to cater to the needs of the student, challenging the students without frustrating them. Everyone is unique and learns at different rates, so no two lessons will ever be the same. I teach students how to practice, so that they can progress outside of the 30 min. or hour long lesson. As for performance standards, I have used rubrics for tone, technique, articulation, phrasing, and breathing. Once strengths and weaknesses are assed, I create a plan to help the student improve, which is what students and teachers want to hear. Read More
Instruments: Piano
During the program I taught children under 15 years old. Due to my commitment to my new students I was asked to continue as a teacher in one of the major music schools in Armenia (Sayat-Nova Music School). Regardless of my 16 years experience as a performer and 5 years as a teacher I'm longing to continue my journey as a teacher so that I will not miss the opportunity to share my knowledge and discover new talents.

Missing home and nature, I moved back to Massachusetts and took up teaching. I began teaching students in-home, prior to purchasing my baby grand piano which I currently use in my studio today! I went back to school to obtain my Masters of Music in Music Education, and continued to perform but this time in rock bands! I am currently in three rock bands, Rocket Queen (A tribute to Guns N' Roses), NOTB (a tribute to Iron Maiden), and NIB (a tribute to Black Sabbath). Read More
Instruments: Piano Clarinet
I do not have a set typical method I use for all my students because everyone is different. I begin with assessing a new student to find what their goals are and their commitment level is. All of my students find their lessons to be challenging, but my goal is to also provide them with a nurturing and creative atmoshpere. My students find that they make significant improvement every week. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I was lucky enough to have been born in a musical family. My mother is a piano teacher and my father is a violinist. As a child, there was always music in my home, both from my parents and their friends. My mother taught me piano lessons while my father took me to see the orchestra in which he played. My parents had a music school where I also took general music classes, and learned to sing. By the time I was 12 years old and began to take trumpet lessons, I had a solid foundation in solfege, reading and writing music.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Focus on what you don't know. There is always something new to learn, so it is important to focus your practicing on new music or skills that you have not yet mastered. Avoid practicing for long periods of times without resting. Ideally, the most effective way to practice is in short bursts throughout the day. This will keep you engaged in what you are doing and will also keep you from becoming too tired physically. Listen to the best music possible. Music is about imitation, so if you imitate good music you will sound good.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The average age for a child to begin trumpet lessons is between 9 and 10. Depending on the child, he/she may be able to start taking lessons as early as 8 years old. If your child is much younger than that, do not shy away from music. This is a great time to get them started with piano lessons as well as general music classes that will greatly contribute to their overall intellectual and psychological development. A student that begins to play another instrument after taking piano lessons is much more likely to succeed and develop faster.
When will I start to see results?
This will depend on many different factors such as; if the student has an instrument or is able to have a place to practice, parent involvement when practicing, previous musical knowledge, if the student was taught good habits or not, current level of student (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
If the student is starting from scratch, they may be able to produce a sound right away or it may take a couple of lessons. As for the intermediate students, he/she will see an improvement in their sound in a month or two. For the advanced students, change is much more difficult than the beginners and intermediate students so it will always take more time, however the results tend to be more drastic.
