CONTENTS

The piano is considered the king of musical instruments. During the course of study, students will explore piano works by composers from various nations, as well as Armenian and foreign composers, acquiring the skills to perform these pieces with their own individual interpretation (perspective), which in turn will shape an appropriate value system. Instruction in the club will build fundamental competencies in the student and reinforce theoretical musical knowledge.

Musical education provides a child with artistic upbringing, multi-functional thinking, taste, and ensures engagement with high cultural values.

FORMS OF INSTRUCTION

Instruction is carried out through a combination of theoretical and practical classes.

Since the club may include students admitted at different times, an individual approach is applied to each student, taking into account their capabilities, interests, and abilities. Visits to concert halls, meetings with specialists and musicians in the field of vocal and instrumental art, discussions, professional experience exchange, and the acquisition of new knowledge are organized. Open classes and report concerts are held, along with accompaniments featuring national instruments. Students are prepared for admission to music educational institutions.
