What Our Students and Parents Are Saying

There are no suitable words to say what professionals Suren and Lilit are. My daughter came to Lilit during the pandemic. We had an experience with another teacher that we ran away from. First she started studying online with Lilit, then switched to in-person classes in their studio. Lilit did such an amazing job with my daughter for 3 years, they went from 1 to 5 RCM levels, my daughter participated in a music festival and won prizes. We continue working with Lilith with a great pleasure. Thank you Lilit and Suren for your professionalism and patience.

Arus Grigoryan, September 2023

Suren is a dedicated and passionate teacher who takes teaching and his students seriously. He was often more stressed than I am if there was no obvious progress after each class. He is very creative in tailoring teaching method to the style of his student. He is strict but also encouraging. My child studied with Suren for the past year and successfully passed RCM Level 10 flute exam this summer with excellent marks, skipping a level as well. Lilit is also great. She spent a lot of time to help my child prepare for the exam.

Cynthia Yang, September 2023

Suren taught me clarinet for 6 years. In that time I was able to go from someone who had basically no idea how to play to having multiple achievements, like winning First Place for the OMFA competition, a mark of 95 on my RCM Level 8 exams, and joining TYWO as a first clarinetist. He really helped me discover a passion. Throughout my journey I have always felt his dedication towards his students, and his teaching methods were professional yet engaging and effective even through difficult periods as a beginner or during COVID. Of course I have to thank Lilit as well for always being great to work with for accompanying during competitions and recitals. I highly recommend Keys & Pipes if you wish to learn from the best when learning woodwind instruments or piano.

My son, Henry, has been taking Alto saxophone lessons at Keys and Pipes with Suren, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Suren is an excellent instructor who truly understands the needs and pace of younger students. He goes at a good speed that keeps Henry engaged and motivated, yet ensures he's learning and progressing. Suren is very patient, receptive, and adjusts his teaching methods to match Henry's interests and abilities. It's clear that he cares about his students' success and enjoyment. I highly recommend Suren and Keys and Pipes for anyone looking to start their musical journey.
