My name is Anahit Karchikyan, I was born in Gyumri, Armenia. In 1986, after graduating from Kara Murza Music College with honors I was part of the
Leninakan Chambers of Orchestra where I had the chance to perform concerts in various cities in Armenia and Europe.

I continued my education in Yerevan and graduated from the Yerevan Komitas State Conservatory in 1991. Thereafter, I taught piano at Kara Murza Music College in Gyumri, Armenia. In 1996, when I moved to Yerevan, I established the piano department and implemented their curriculum in Ajabnyak
Educational Center in Yerevan where I taught piano until I moved to the States. I have composed and published many piano pieces with lyrics within the last few years. I also published my first songbook called “Hogus Dzayn”; in 2022. As a member of “The World Association of Performing Arts”, I had the chance to participate in international musical symposiums, in many countries such as UAE, Cyprus, Egypt, Georgia, and Armenia. I was awarded the title of “best composer and songwriter”; by the World Association of Performing Arts. In 2022 from the same organization i have earned the title of “Honorary Educator”; (Վաստակավոր Մանկավարժ) for my 30 years of continuous work.

In 2023, I was awarded the “Komitas”; gold medal for my work and contribution to the development of Armenian cultural life. In April of 2023, I moved to Boston with my husband. I have 2 children, a son, and a daughter. I’m truly happy and excited to join Erebuni Armenian School as a music teacher.  I have always worked with children. Teaching kids music has been my passion for many years and I would love to continue it here at Erebuni.
