Testimonials
"Everything was so great, being with Ms. Irina for so long she taught my son beautifully. And he has gained so much from it, even allowing my son to do "his own thing" during the lessons.
He absolutely loved her"
Shallu
"The amount of pride and passion Irina carries out in her work of music cannot be measured in words. Knowing that I have been given the chance to study under her gives me a sense of pride myself. She is one of the most intelligent music teachers I know and I am thankful to have had her as an instructor. Because of her I was able to fulfill my dream of performing at Carnegie Hall. If you're thinking of taking up piano lessons, she is the one you should contact!"

"Irina Manasyan is an excellent piano teacher. I grew up with her giving me piano lessons and she helped me to excel not only as a musician but also as young woman.
She truly cares for her students and puts her heart and soul into their musical talent and overall well-being. I don’t know where I would be today without Irina’s guidance and love. "
Sarah Beth
"Irina is a fantastic piano teacher. She overwhelmingly exceeded my expectations and taught my two girls to love the instrument along with the music she taught them. She is patient, kind, and incredibly gifted at teaching piano.
She senses where each child is in their own process and teaches them accordingly. I highly recommend Irina for any level player, beginner to advanced player. We miss her and know she will continue to do great things through her students. " Dr. Leah
"To be mentored by a caring and dedicated teacher is a rare privilege. Ms Irina stands out amongst my mentors.
To perform at the Carnegie Hall in NY 2009, 2011 and 2013 is an accomplishment that speaks for itself. Ms Irina, a one of a kind teacher made my dream a reality. Many years of hard work and perseverance made me who I am today. Ms Irina was always there for me. She built the foundation and nurtured a life long gift for which I will always be grateful."

About Irina Manasyan

Master of Music in Piano Performance and Pedagogy

Curriculum Vitae

I have a degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy and 39 years of successful teaching experience in classical piano performance and theory with children and adults. I am an accomplished pianist and accompanist, having been featured in numerous solo piano performances and also performed with various chamber orchestras in Russia and Armenia. I am trilingual, fluently speaking English, Russian and Armenian.

My favorite composers are Frederic Chopin, Aram Khachaturian, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. However, I enjoy teaching all of the classical, as well as the very contemporary composers, mindfully catering to my students' wishes.

I am an active member of the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and provide access to opportunities, and encourage participation in annual performances in competitions and festivals. My students receive a comprehensive music education – both in piano performance and theory and have consistently been annual prize winners at Carnegie Hall competitions, as well as other University and Performance Arts competitions across the country. In addition,my students participate in a Certificate of Merit Program, which is sponsored by MTNA. This valuable program evaluates a student’s progress and skill in performance, ear training, sight reading and written theory.
