She then started working on her B.M of Vocal performence at "Hed" music college in Tel Aviv and came
to OCU to complete her studies. After graduation she had a year of "interfaith through music", in which she traveled on Peace Missions with a violinist to Jordan,Israel and all over the U.S performing Hebrew prayers and connecting with people of differnt faiths. Her first solo album, "To the Eagle", is a collection of eight Hebrew prayers for voice and violin.
Two of the prayers were composed by Maya especially for this album. Shortly after the album was released, Harvard University purchased it for their permanent Judaica collection. Maya began MM studies in composition in 2004.
Using music to connect and bring down walls between all living beings is the motivation for her work.
