BIOGRAPHY

From an early age, Pegah showed great talent and enthusiasm in music & so she started her long journey towards mastering the art of playing the piano when she was still very young.

In addition to piano classes, she took music courses such as Music Theory, Harmony, Counterpoint, Form and Analysis of Music as well as History of Western Classical Music. Later, in 1998, her love for music pulled her all the way to Moscow, Russia, where she had the opportunity to live her dream of becoming a musician.

After returning to Iran, she was immediately offered a job as a Piano Teacher at the Tehran Conservatory of Music. At the same time, she also worked as an Accompanist in The State National School of Music.
