Sarine Balian

Voice, Composition, Music Theory

Sarine has been teaching music in elementary schools for 8 years and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz and World Music: Vocal Emphasis, from San Francisco State University.  Her teaching resume in music includes: Classroom music, Orchestra preparatory courses, interdisciplinary arts education, as well as Artist In Residence positions.   Students can expect patient instruction and a personalized approach to meet their musical goals. Voice lessons concentrate on technique and performance skills for all levels and ages. 

Her first solo album, Juxtaposed (Saucy Records 2006), brings together Armenian folk music and jazz standards. By working with music that is experimental in nature, Sarine allows for multiple cultures to exist in the space. Juxtaposed moves sound from language and music into a new cultural landscape.

An independent solo artist since 2005, Sarine performs her repertoire nationally in the United States. As an invited guest of the Naregatsi Art Institute in Yerevan, Armenia, she collaborated and performed with local jazz musicians in the fall of 2006.
