Born in Edinburgh, Esther began giving concerts at a young age. Early music studies were at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem, St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh and Chetham’s School of Music, Manchester.

In 1995, after being awarded scholarships to all four English music colleges, Esther entered the Royal Northern College of Music where she studied under the guidance of Renna Kellaway. While at the RNCM, she won the prestigious Alfred Clay prize for piano and scholarships from the Countess of Munster and the Musicians’ Benevolent Fund, a Sir James Caird Travelling Scholarship and a South-East Award for Advanced Study.
