He received his first music lessons from his uncle Manouchehr Zamanian at the children and youth music workshop, which was established at that time by the radio and television organization under the management of Morteza Delshab in Mashhad. After a short time, Manouchehr Zamanian returned from Mashhad to continue his studies.
