Olga Papikyan

Olga Papikian is a concert pianist, soprano, and voice pedagogue based in Switzerland. She graduated with distinction from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory (piano) and received her vocal training there and in subsequent studies in Europe. She has performed internationally as both a soloist and chamber musician.

Alongside her performing career, she works as a voice teacher and vocal coach. Her training includes further studies at the Hochschule Luzern, the Bern University of the Arts, the Institute Schlaffhorst-Andersen, and advanced professional education in logopedics, special education, and inclusive pedagogy. This diverse background informs her work at the intersection of vocal pedagogy, voice health, and artistic expression.

Her teaching focuses on healthy voice use, performance preparation, and the connection between body, voice, and musical interpretation. She has a particular interest in supporting singers and professional voice users in developing a sustainable and expressive voice.

Olga is currently undertaking postgraduate studies in Voice Pedagogy at the Voice Study Centre (University of Essex), where she is further developing a research-informed and practice-based approach to vocal training.
