Aged ten, she had already won her first prize at the International Piano Competition in Vila de Capdepera and at the Young Performers of the Balearic Islands Competition. After successfully gaining a place and scholarship at the Yehudi Menuhin School (UK), an institution for musically gifted children, Margalida continued her musical studies under the guidance of professors Marcel Baudet and Renana Gutman.
