The School

What We Offer

At Anahid Syourapian Piano School, students are inspired to love music and are encouraged to pursue excellence in every area of their piano studies. The individual needs and interests of each student are carefully considered, and lessons are adapted to each individual’s strengths and weaknesses, and music is chosen accordingly. Students are led to understand musical concepts and develop skills that will prepare them for whatever their future in music may be.
 

We customize each student’s course of study to help them achieve their goals as a musician and pianist. We believe that anyone can play the piano well with the right teacher helping them. Students can start private piano lessons as young as 3.5 years old. For the Toddler program, we accept students as young as 2 years old.
