Hello, I am Lusinè Shahinyan

Professional musician with over 17 years of experience teaching children and adults. Worked with private students of all levels as well as with Conservatory students in achieving their degree in music.

Has performed concerts in Central and Eastern Europe.

Winner of full music scholarship and statewide piano competitions.

Graduate of the Tchaikovsky Special Music School for Gifted Students.

Completed my Bachelor and Masters Degrees with honor at the Komitas State Conservatory Armenia, where I studied with Ivan Meliksetyan, a renowned performer and pedagogue in the former Soviet Union and abroad, currently teaching and performing in Germany.

I am Membership Vice President of Music Teachers Association of California North Orange County branch (MTAC OCN) and member of Music Teachers National Association (MTNA).

I prefer to teach with Classical music, however jazz and contemporary music may be incorporated. I find that personalization of lessons enhances the enjoyment of learning, so if a student has a preferred music style or composer, the lessons can be adjusted to include appropriate pieces.

Students are highly encouraged to participate in various recitals and concerts. Performing on the stage will help the students to build self-confidence which is central issue of personal development.

Students will be able to participate in Certificate of Merit programs, provided by state and national music teachers associations, covering performance, technique, ear training, site reading and written theory for each level.

Students achievements include:
AAGDT International Competition Winner
Certificate of Merit National Convention Winners
Southwestern Youth Music Festival Winners
Southern California Junior Bach Festival Complete Works Winner
Winners of MTAC and MTNA regional and statewide competitions
