I am Tigran Saakyan - a creative, adaptable, and highly professional piano teacher with more than 12 years of teaching experience in diverse educational settings. Within the next three months, I will complete my Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in piano performance at the University of Western Ontario. This will hopefully contribute to my mission as a piano teacher and performer in the nearest future. The range of students I usually guide varies from beginners to advanced levels. In my teaching philosophy, I place a strong emphasis on building technical skills. A solid technical foundation unlocks freedom in piano playing. Another important area of focus is musicianship. I guide students to understand the theory, phrasing, and sound quality which develops their artistic sensitivity.
Currently, I am based in London, Ontario, and offer in-person/online lessons.
