She began her music education at the early age of three in both violin and piano with the Suzuki Method offering her first recitals when she was just five.[citation needed] In 1996 she studied six years with Zakhar Bron at the Escuela Superior de Música Reina Sofía and in Germany at Köln Musikhochschule. Later on she studied with Maxim Vengerov[1] in Saarbrücken and David Takeno at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama where she received the highest grade ever in the history of the school for her final recital.[2] Her final teacher was Mstislav Rostropovich, who mentored her from 2003 during his final years.[3]

Since 2005 Leticia Moreno has been playing a 1679 Pietro Guarneri violin, which is the property of the Stradivari Society of Chicago.
