(click on the link to see the program). In March 2019 a Duet of V. Gavrilin's Tarantella earned a Gold Medal in the Golden Key International Piano Competition and performance at Carnegie Hall, NY. Two individual performances also earned Bronze Medals and performance. In addition to competitions, Ms. Genova also offers an excellent preparation course for students auditioning in piano pedagogy/performance at music colleges and universities.
As an internationally known piano teacher at Philadelphia's premiere music conservatory remarked regarding one of Margarita's students, "This child is prepared so well, that I have nothing to correct. Who is the teacher?”
Now a proud American Citizen herself, Margarita is particularly sensitive to the goals and needs of international students and new arrivals to the USA -- in fact, she also serves as an English tutor for new arrivals from Eastern Europe.
