By age 9, she secured 2nd place in the State Senior Compettions. By 11, she won 1st place at State Competition and was nominated for the prestigious "Irene Muir Award". She also accepted to study violin at the International Summer School of Strings "Encore" in Ohio. This school accepts but 160 of the most talented young musicians from around the world. It is thanks to fundraising events that she was able to attend this lifetime opportunity because Esther is too young to qualify for scholarships. Mentoring such a talented young child presents a definite dilemma and monetary hardship for her parents. "How wonderful it is, to have such a generous community that steps up to help sponsor the neighborhood girl! It truly does take a community to raise a child..." exclaims Pervin Muradov (Esther's Mother).

Besides playing violin, Esther is active in dance, primarily tap and ballet, and is an honor student, now in the 8th grade at "McNair Magnet School" in Rockledge, Florida where she has won several awards and 1st Place for outstanding projects in science.

Her short term goal is to play a concert at Carnegie Hall.
Her long range goal is to attend an intensive study music school, such as
"Curtis Conservatory" in Philadelphia PA, USA
