Anahid Syourapian Piano Studio

Anahid is one of the best piano teacher I’ve ever studied with. She is very passion about her job, and enjoy teaching very much. Throughout almost 4 years study with her, I enjoyed every moment.
I am an adult student with some basic skills when I started study with Anahid. She understood my background very well and every new piece she gave me is very personalized to train one of the piano playing skills. Because I am a huge fun of classical music, she also considered my opinion on music selection. She often send me a list of music and ask me which one I want to work next. The way she trained me was also very academic. The pieces I worked on were diversify, from baroque to impression, from Bach to Beethoven to Greg. She kept a good balance between «fun» and «academic style», which made all her lessons both enjoyable, and effective.
When study a new piece of music, Anahid never satisfied with just a play through. This to her is just the first step. We often discuss the music theory behind each piece, as well as the history and the composer. She also gave me a lot room for my interpretation. When I played on the semi-​annual performances she held for all her student each year, I was confident that I was performing, not just play the right notes. I often saw Anahid teaches younger student. Her attitude was both encourage and discipline. The satisfaction and proud on the parents’ face were the best approval. It is very sad that I have to move to San Francisco and end my piano journey with her.
A good piano teacher is not about how fast he or she can play Liszt’s etudes, but what the student can learned from the teacher. A piano lesson shouldn’t just about teaching how to play the right note, but about how to enjoy the music while playing. Anahid belongs to few great teachers that reach those high standards.

My seven year old daughter has been working with Anahid for the past 3+ years. To say that Anahid is amazing, wouldn’t come close. My daughter was deaf until the age of four. However, she let us clearly know that she wanted to play the piano. Unfortunately, no other teacher would even consider taking a four year old deaf girl. We had even tried three or four other teachers, but they just couldn’t handle our daughter. Anahid did. As the years went on, our daughter was also diagnosed with ADHD. But did that stop Anahid? No. She continued with her saint-​like level of professionalism. Recently, my daughter passed the first test of the Royal Conservatory of Music with First Class Honours. I know next year, she’ll be able to pass the second test with Anahid as her teacher. Thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you.

I was very lucky to have found Anahid. She is an excellent piano teacher but most important, she is a lovely person, very patient (especially when I am exhausted after work, she’s extremely patient!) and sweet. I highly recommend her!

Anahid is about the best piano teacher you can find. She is sweet, patient, helpful, and extremely talented. She was willing to work with an adult with little to no piano experience to prepare for a song that I wanted to play for my wife at our wedding. She worked around my schedule and never gave up on me! Best part is that she can meet on Saturdays which was a must for me. All in all, if you need piano lessons and may be older or a beginner, definitely reach out to Anahid. You will not be dissapointed!

Ana is a real find. She will come to your apt or teach in her studio. Rates very competitive. Extremely patient, fun and great with kids and adults alike. She really pushes you but makes it fun too.

Anahid is an excellent piano instructors. Probably one of the best piano teachers I have taken. I have played piano for 10 and everyday coming to Anahid ‘s class, I still am learning new variations and techniques which enable me to move forward. She is comfortable working with students at any level and is fun to spend time with. I highly suggest Anahid to any student woo interested in learning or sharpening their piano skills.
