Leonid Grudin studied flute with Prof. Jean-Michel Tanguy at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Mannheim from 1990 to 1995 completing his studies with a degree as an orchestra musician. In 1998, he obtained the degree in “Artistic Education” and in 2001 in “Concert Exam” with Prof. Maxence Larrieu.
