My name is Dana Mukhamedalieva, I am stepping into 7th grade in 2025-2026 school year in Astrakhan Middle School N49. I live in Astrakhan, Russia and also study music at Astrakhan Youth Talented Academy of Music since I was six years old. I found my passion playing dombra, piano and violine. Dombra is my favorite instrument, and also it is a traditional instrument of the country of Kazakhstan, where are great great parents from. My favorite musicians are Bach, Beethoven, and Vivaldi. I play a solo position, and I also perform in orchestra named the Astrakhan Youth Talented Academy of Music. I have participated in several competitions and won several award prizes, including “Strings of Astrakhan” (2021-2025), “Strings of Volga Region” (2021-2025), and “Astana Stars” (Kazakhstan, 2021-2025). I have also won a state final competition in Russia with a second-place award in 2023 and 2024. I won second place at Charleston Competition in 2023. I love playing different musical instruments and next year will plan to have my first competition in a violin solo. I will continue playing musical instruments and perform in different musical completion.
