Anita Harati was born on April 19, 1997- Tehran,Iran. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Food Industrial Engineering. She began her musical journey in late 2001, starting with the Xylophone and then started learning flute. Around 2004, she started learning the tombak (one of the most famous Iranian percussions) and received professional instruction from renowned teachers such as Samaneh Golkar and Kamran Montazeri. In 2007, Anita began playing the piano and further enhanced her skills under the guidance of Hamidreza Dibazar, Reza Shadab, and Sina Kheirabadi. From early 2009, Anita chose the Kanun as her primary instrument and studied the Iranian qanun playing techniques and Iranian music repertoire extensively with Rabeh Zand and Maleiheh Saeedi. She also familiarized herself with Armenian, Arab, and Turkish music styles to a limited extent. In 2014, Anita embarked on learning ancient Iranian stringed instruments such as Barbat-e-Jam-e- Arjan (Argan), Narsina, and Napirasu, which were revived and performed by Rabeh Zand. During this time, she specialized in music theory and solfège under the guidance of Rabeh Zand, Hamidreza Dibazar, and Arman Norozi. She gained knowledge in harmony, counterpoint, and orchestration to some extent in preparation for the entrance exams of a Master's degree in composition. Since 2013, Anita has been teaching introductory courses on the Piano and tombak, and from 2016, she has been teaching qanun under the supervision of Zand, starting from beginner to advanced levels. She has actively taught in various institutions, schools, the Rabeh music Academy and some high level institutes in Tehran. Since 2016, Anita has been a member of various groups and orchestras, performing as a Kanun player in numerous concerts both in Iran and abroad. Some of the notable groups include Ronak, Golha Orchestra, Avaye Parsian, Havir, and women's ensembles, among others.
