Dinara combines her performing career with piano professor positions at the Royal College of Music and the Yehudi Menuhin School.

As a recording artist, she has received widespread critical acclaim. Her album of Liszt’s Études d’exécution transcendante was selected by BBC Music Magazine as Recording of the Month.

She went on to complete her Master’s degree at the Royal College of Music under Dina Parakhina.
