In the 1970s he studied North Indian classical music at The Ali Akbar Khan School of Music in California. He studied Persian language and literature in the early 1980s with Persian and Afghan tutors, and later met Afghanistan's poet laureate, Ustad Khalilullah Khalili, whose quatrains he translated in 1989. Darr also studied Persian miniature painting with Ustad Homayon Etemadi, Afghanistan's last court painter and royal librarian. For almost twenty years, he has been a student of the Afghan Sufi poet, Raz Mohammad Zaray.
