Early Life and Musical Beginnings
Irina Hayrapetyan’s musical journey began at just two years old, when she first touched the piano. By age six, she was enrolled in the renowned "Sayat Nova" Music School in Yerevan, Armenia. Her extraordinary talent quickly set her apart, and by fourteen, she had already earned top honors, including first prize in the prestigious Frédéric Chopin Competition for young musicians.
World-Class Musical Training
Irina honed her craft under some of the world’s most respected piano professors, beginning at the Yerevan State Conservatory. She continued her education at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen, studying with acclaimed mentors José Rivera and Niklas Siveløv. Her training also took her to Israel, where she worked with legendary pianists Victor Derevianko and Nikolai Petrov—an experience that profoundly enriched her musical identity and interpretive depth.
Her performances, particularly in Romantic and 20th-century repertoire, are known for their emotional richness and technical precision.
A Mind Beyond Music
Irina’s passion for excellence extends beyond the concert hall. Driven by a deep curiosity about human potential, she pursued advanced studies in modern psychology, training with leading experts in the field. This multidisciplinary approach reshaped her understanding of performance, creativity, and personal development.
Her journey led her to explore why talented people often hold themselves back—and how to unlock the creative flow necessary for lasting success. By combining musical discipline with psychological insight, she developed a powerful, holistic method to help others overcome internal limitations.
Today, Irina continues to perform internationally while consulting with musicians, leaders, creatives, and professionals. She also leads seminars and workshops focused on performance, self-awareness, and personal growth. Her work empowers people to move beyond perfectionism and pressure - toward clarity, confidence, and their true potential.
