As a teacher, he is demanding…but the positive praise flows as readily as the correction. As a mother, it is so satisfying to be in the kitchen and hear the lessons going on in the next room, because he always expects excellence out of my children. We currently have four kids taking piano lessons, all with varying ability, and he has helped each of them to progress in ways we haven’t seen for years. I can’t even begin to express how much we love having Armen as a teacher! What an awesome decision it has been to have him come into our home and teach our children. The process of going beyond mechanical and technical correctness to creating real music in performance requires developing a strong comprehensive understanding of music.
The mastery of any instrument is much more than just learning to press the rights keys at the right time. I pride myself in my ability to teach my students the right skills and help them develop a true passion for music. Not every piano instructor has the experience, time or desire to help his or her students develop these important life long music skills. Although an emphasis is placed on classical repertoire, the student’s curriculum is always tailored to the student’s interests and goals. Once a strong foundation is established, I move on to teach my students music theory, ear training, improvisation, composition and ensemble work.
My private lessons focus on artistic performances of piano repertoire, sight-reading and learning rudimentary exercises. Once I have an understanding of my student’s goals, then I craft a strategy specific to that student. My goal is to first learn my student’s strengths and musical preferences.
