Founder & Piano Instructor
With over 10 years of teaching experience, Arpine has guided students of all ages through their musical journeys. She holds a PhD in Music and brings a deep foundation in classical training to every lesson — shaped in part by her time at the Aram Khachaturian Museum and Komitas State Conservatory in Armenia. An MTAC member, she stays actively involved in the local music education community.
Valeria Boroda

Valeria is an award-winning pianist with a higher music education and more than 10 years of experience. A member of an international musicians' association, she delivers personalized, inspiring lessons that foster a lifelong love for music.
Marietta Galstyan
Voice Instructor
Marietta is a singer with an extensive international background who grew up in a deeply musical environment, singing and playing piano from early childhood. A music school graduate, she has performed from a young age at international competitions and festivals across Europe — including Hungary, Italy, France, and Bulgaria — consistently earning top prizes, with performances praised for their emotional depth, vocal precision, and stage presence. She has appeared at international concerts and charity events supporting children, and is known for her versatility and ability to adapt her voice across genres — experience she loves sharing with young singers.
Viktoria Poghosyan
Voice Instructor
Viktoria's musical journey began in 2001 at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Music School in Yerevan, Armenia, where twelve years of piano study built strong technical skills and a deep understanding of music. She went on to the Komitas State Conservatory of Yerevan to study Jazz Vocal Performance, then earned a Master's degree to further expand her professional knowledge and teaching skills. Years of working with children have shaped her belief that music education is not only about developing vocal ability and musical hearing, but about nurturing creativity, confidence, and self-expression. She teaches students of every level — from beginners taking their first steps in music to singers pursuing vocal studies professionally — and sees each one as a unique talent with their own story and potential. Her goal is a supportive, inspiring environment where students build skills and confidence, discover a lifelong love for music, and unlock their voices.

A Grand Prix winner at the AGBU Discover Talents competition and a first-prize winner at the Charleston International Music Competition and the World Open Music Competition, she has performed as a soloist with the Armenian State Symphony Orchestra and the Sofia State Chamber Orchestra, and plays first violin with the Chapman University Orchestra. Her training includes masterclasses with artists such as Daniel Hope, Stella Chen, and Sergey Khachatryan.
