Fozié Majd, born in Berlin, attended schools in Tehran and England. While at her boarding school, she was commissioned to write a ballet scene for the piano, to be performed and staged on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the school. She was fifteen when it was performed, an event which was written about in the Manchester Guardian (the present Guardian) and the Liverpool post. At the age of seventeen, she performed as a pianist in the CEWC, Council for Education and World Citizenship concert, under the auspices of the United Nations, in the Central Hall, Westminster, London. Graduated as Bachelor of Music from Edinburgh University, her professors included Professor Hans Redlich, Dr. Hans Gal and Professor S.T.M.
