"AND THIS IS ME"- Ashkhen Avanesyan

My instrument has taught me to feel in music what others may not be able to feel.

Music is an important part of my life. It helps me find myself and my thoughts in any situation.

When I am alone, I understand myself better.

When I play, I express what I cannot say with words.

I believe that love and faith are the greatest powers.

I feel happy when my day is filled with small moments of joy.

Few people know this, but I love deep and sincere conversations with people, when they can truly be themselves.

Being Armenian, for me, is a way of preserving and representing my culture, history, and values.

What matters most in life is being surrounded by the right people and finding happiness in everything you do.

I am inspired when I feel that my work has a purpose -  to heal people’s souls.

I get emotional when I look back and see the path I have traveled.

Being a musician means being someone who can heal the inner worlds of people’s souls.

I have realized that every small step brings me closer to my goal.

What gives me strength is my faith in my dreams.

I feel proud when I become a reason for my teacher to be happy, thanks to our shared work and dedication.

I feel happy when I am in an environment where I can truly be myself.

Ten years from now, I will be the person I dream of becoming today.

Yerevan, for me, is a place where everything feels familiar and close to my heart.

I dream of following my own path and creating my own story.

My motto is: “Let actions speak, not words.”
