She also took summer courses in early music, such as at Casa de Mateus (2020) or in Aveiro, with the Ludovice Ensemble (2021). In 2021, due to her taste for choral music, she joined Coro Ricercare, directed by Pedro Teixeira. She is also interested in children’s music education, having previously given sessions of music for babies, in Almada (April 2018, December 2020 and June 2021). She taught at the “Academia do Som” for children aged 4-6 years in 2021.During the final school year and this year, she teaches musical initiation as well as music for babies at the Academia de Música de Almada.
