Piano Lessons in Babson Park, MA

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.

My teaching experience has been as eclectic as my musical experiences. Over the past 2 years I have been teaching private lessons at my home studio consistently. Currently I'm looking to expanding my student-base and focus on teaching full time while finishing my final year of graduate studies. The majority of my students have been beginners ages 5-14, although I've been giving informal guitar lessons to peers for the majority of my college and graduate school time. Read More

As a junior in high school I was given the oppportunity to provide inexpensive lessons to elementary students in the same town/program. It was just as much of a learning experience for us, the mentors, as it was for the students.

When it comes to jazz, I think learning the basics of the language is key! I like to use Jim Snidero's book "Jazz Conceptions" for many beginner to advanced students to study etudes that will help them internalize the ins and outs of what professionals play in their improvisation. I also encourage students to experiment on their own time on what kind of music they want to play, while also encouraging them to practice material that will propel their musicianship, especially for beginner and intermediate students.

This experience not only instills a sense of accomplishment but also cultivates confidence and stage presence. With adult students, I adopt a personalized approach. Understanding that they often possess specific interests and goals, I prioritize open communication to discern their musical preferences and aspirations. This enables me to tailor my instruction accordingly, ensuring that the lessons remain engaging, enjoyable, and relevant to their ability level. To enhance the learning experience and make it more multisensory, I incorporate visual aids such as flashcards or interactive apps, which reinforce music theory and note reading. Read More

I do like to lean on the Berklee methods but do supplement these materials with a good deal of additional material in theory and chords. Everyone is different so the approach depends on the individual. Read More
