3.01.08. GéNIA appointed as an Artist in Residence at Bauer & Hieber Music, London where she launches a series of Workshops and Masterclasses 2008.

"After teaching for a number of years, I noticed there are particular aspects of piano playing that pianists always want to explore. I asked my pupils to name the most problematic areas in performance practice and, based on the issues they most frequently raised, I chose the eight subjects as the basis for these workshops. They tackle these issues and are designed for various levels of players: students, teachers, and professionals. These workshops aim to give practical solutions and personal attention to every participant. I hope they will bring insight and inspiration to your piano playing and practising".
