Interested and active in musical education, Nazarian conceived and performed Long Ago And Far Away, an interactive concert for children.

Continuing her educational work, Nazarian has been involved in a children’s radio programme, also entitled Long Ago And Far Away, a multi-media CD-Rom, and a book and video/DVD dealing with vocal technique. Nazarian also teaches voice privately and through clinics, workshops, and master classes.
