It wasn’t a long time before I started teaching at Inspiring Music 4 Life, I realized that a career in music was exactly what I wanted in my life. From a very young age, I started my journey in an Inspiring world called 'Music'.
Once one feels the power of 'Music', I can assure you that one can't live without it.
From an early age, I was surrounded by music. Born in Yerevan; Armenia; where, at the age of five, I had my first music lessons at Tchaikovsky Special Music School.
Tchaikovsky school had a unique influence on my musical development from early childhood and inspired me to pursue a music career. Those exciting twelve years at school, were full of interesting music subjects such as solfeggio, music theory, music harmony, music literature. I studied at the piano and vocal departments which allowed me to take classes of ensembles and get the basic knowledge of how to be an accompaniment to singers. I was participating in the school opera performances, in the choirs and practically all concerts.
Music inspired me to also explore other creative areas such as embroidery, painting, knitting, felting and drawing on silk. Since the age of five, I started learning English and a bit later, I started learning French and Italian which played a pivotal role in my pursuit of singing.
In 2016 I did a course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London; where I met my coach Michael Pugh with whom I continue working till now. I have had an opportunity to sing at a concert at St Giles Cripplegate and other concerts in Armenia. I had consultations with the head of the Vocal Department of Royal College of Music with Nicholas Sears, also with Kate Peterson who is the Head of the Vocal Department at Royal Academy of Music. Fortunately, I have had incredible continuous sessions with Janice Chapman. Dr Ron Morris and Marilyn Rees. And now, I am under the watchful guidance of Samuel Queen. I am on my final year at BIMM London pursuing my career in BA Music Business and Event Management Course.
