Showing her musical talent at an early age, she was admitted to the special music school at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in Saint Petersburg, which she visited from 1978 to 1989. Through her attendance at this school for musical elites and the specialized training she received there she was able, from a very early age, to perform as a soloist in Saint Petersburg and other Russian cities. Her success in first performances outside her native country, in Poland and the GDR, confirmed her extraordinary talent.

In 1990, she joined the master class of Andrey Korsakov at the Moscow Conservatory.

In 1991, Natalia Alenitsyna moved to Hamburg and continued her studies at the Hamburg Musikhochschule. Already in 1992, she received awards in the Haussmann Competition and the Chateau de Courcillon Competition in France. In 1993, she was awarded the first prize in the competition of the Elise-Meyer-Stiftung in Hamburg.

Natalia Alenitsyna participated in a lot of master classes of violinists as famous as Prof. G. Zhislin, Prof. M. Lubotsky, Prof. V. Tretjakov and of ensembles like "Amadeus-Quartett" and "Borodin-Quartett".
