Born in 1987 in Iran, Parya Rostamian’s love for classical guitar began at the age of 11, which led her to pursue a music career. She enrolled in Tehran Music University’s three-year performing arts program, and upon graduating, she furthered her education in music education at the University of Florida. While studying, she received private lessons from Rafael Padron, a world-renowned classical- guitarist and the program director of classical guitar at Frost School at the University of Miami.
