Sara Zaman was initiated into classical music at an early age by late Ustad Firoze Nizami of Kirana gharana. In subsequent years, she had the good fortune of training with greats like Ustad Chhotay Ghulam Ali Khan of Qawwal Bachon ka gharana and Baba Tufail Narowaaleay. The latter imparted his art and its intricacies to her till he breathed his last in 1996.
