Shvi Lessons

All students are taught from the basic instrumental technique, posture, technical exercises, and Armenian repertoires playing. You will learn how to play Armenian traditional songs and your favourite melodies.

Each online shvi lesson takes place between one teacher and one student, for either 30 or 60 minutes. For children's sessions, parents can attend their child's classes.


Goals:
Our amazing shvi faculty takes care of utilizing elements of different teaching methods that work best for each student. Beginner students start with the fundamentals, like how to hold the shvi correctly, how to get sound out of it, fingers placement, reading music, and learning simple songs. Intermediate and advanced students continue to progress with increased proficiency in techniques and significant Armenian repertoire. Our shvi curriculum covers the following subjects:
