Background
My name is Ashot Dumnanyan and I am a classical violinist, music arranger and violin/viola instructor offering private and personalized lessons online, in-studio or in-home in Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley areas. Fluent in English, Armenian and Russian, I bring my European background and passion into my teaching. With a Master of Music in Violin Performance from one of the leading musical institutions of Armenia, the Komitas State Conservatory of Yerevan, I am an active member of various orchestras. My extensive credentials and performance experience inspire me to pass on firsthand knowledge to others.
To keep students engaged throughout their lessons, I customize my delivery to fit the personality and skill level of every individual. No student is too young or too old. I embrace the unique challenges that come with teaching a variety of ages and levels and supporting the achievable goals of each student with patience and commitment.

Reviews on Ashot
1 recommendation
My daughter has been taking violin lessons with Ashot since January and we already see a lot of improvement in her playing techniques. We also appreciate the quick communication he offers and that's the main advantage of choosing a private teacher over a music school. Better service!
