Later she studied with Abel Carlevaro and Nikolas Harnoncourt.

She has regularly toured, taught and adjudicated in international competitions throughout Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. She has occupied several teaching posts in Argentina and, since 1989, she has been head of a guitar department in the Arts University Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria. youtube/watch?v=D35Ws81GjF4
