On September 6, 2019, the Hamazkayin Montreal “Sanahin” Chapter Executive Board established the “Parsegh Ganachian” School of Music and opened its doors inside the Armen Garo & Chaké Gunjian Centre. The school joins the Hamazkayin “Parsegh Ganatchian” music schools in Lebanon and Syria.
Visiting families were excited; parents and children were overjoyed that, finally, the Armenian Centre complex would have a place for them to practice their preferred instruments under the Hamazkayin umbrella. Some 30 students signed up on opening day and the number is expected to shoot up in the coming weeks.
The school offers instruction in piano, organ, guitar, violin, duduk, flute, clarinet, and saxophone. Vocal classes are also offered, as is a group program for 5- to 12-year-old children, “initiation musicale.”
