I took an interest in classical music as a young teenager, trying my best to teach myself how to play piano until studying it with a tutor. I graduated from USM in 2023 with a bachelors in piano performance. After my undergrad, I took a year off to volunteer in my home country of Armenia where I worked teaching piano at several different music schools. Apart from my work in teaching during my time in Armenia, I also helped plan a music festival. Music has added so much passion and beauty to my life and I am eager to help others on their musical journey as I continue my own.
