Recommendations
“I was one of the examiners during her graduation. Her performance of musical work was full of delicate feelings, artistic skills, and high musical techniques.
Her music is like a sip of pure water. I hope that a promising future is ahead of her.”
“I have found her to be one of the finest pianists I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Her abilities both as a soloist, ensemble player, and accompanist are strong and consistent.
Almast would be a wonderful addition to any group that would employ her. We have found she is always prompt, ready, to work, and not afraid to tackle any task put before her.”
“Alma Maghakyan is a fantastic musician, and it is my privilege to work with her. The energy and skill at the keyboard that she brings to our worship services greatly enhances our congregational singing. I value her creativity and flexibility. From Bach fugues to Gospel grooves, it is a true joy to hear her play. ”
“Almast was one of the best students I had in our piano division. Her work was fantastic, especially in her performance when she played George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Her hand positions are amazing as well as her posture. Her technique is very nice and unique”
