I was born in Iran/Teheran. After studies at Sharif Technical University I immigrated to Sweden, where I switched from engineering to my favorite art, music. Four years at Örebro Music Conservatory gave me a lot of joy and competence to be able to teach and deal with music more than before. Going further with music was just inevitable. My love to German philosophy and  music made my decision easier to immigrate to Berlin/Germany. The result was 5 years living in the wonderful music city Berlin and studying musicology with one of the most prominent musicologists in Germany Professor Helga de la Motte-Haber. Going back to Sweden and working as music instructor took about 6 years while immigration to the USA in 2007 was waiting.

Education
