Noune Karapetian, a graduate of Komitas Conservatory in Yerevan, who is now living in Boston, U.S., will present her children's "Tsapik, Tsapik" CD in Yerevan on May 20.

She is performing with opera companies (Opera Boston, Granite State Opera, Pacific Repertory Opera), choruses (Chorus Pro Musica, New Bedford Choral Society) and in concerts (at the Armenian Embassy in Washington D.C. in Montreal, Toronto, in Florida, etc).

Noune is also a licensed “Kindermusik” teacher and taught children aging 1-7 for many years.

“After I had my twins, I was looking for quality recordings of Armenian songs for the very young children. The selection was very limited. That was the reason I embarked on this project. This CD is for my children and all the Armenian children of the world. It includes old beloved folk songs like “Arev, Arev”, “Kerin Yekav Mer Baky”, “Andzrev”, and also songs that I wrote myself. Action songs like “Te Karogh es”, where child sings and acts all the actions with the music, a lullaby, a song "Klorik em, tmblik" for the development of the fine motor skills,” Noune says.
