At the age of nineteen, she decided to continue her studies in the Peninsula with maestro Enrique Palomares at the Superior Conservatory of Music of Aragon, Zaragoza, obtaining the highest marks.
​
Thanks to great teachers like Vera Martínez, Abel Tomás, Jonathan Brown, Arnau Tomás (members of the Casals Quartet), among others, she discovered a taste for chamber music and, with the violinist Lina Tur, began her trajectory in baroque music.
For the next twelve years she lived in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where she worked as a freelance musician in numerous groups and orchestras in the country. There she continued training and expanded her career with Early Music studies in 2009 with the baroque violinist Antoinette Lohman. It is in 2011 when she obtained the Superior Violin degree at the Conservatory of Tilburg, Holland, with the teacher Kees Hulsman.
​
Since then she has been a founding member of the Gesto Antico based on historical performance with barroque instruments with whom she travels all over the Dutch geography giving numerous concerts.

​
Thanks to her tireless desire to learn, Judith continues five years of training in violin pedagogy. She specializes as a Suzuki Method Violin teacher with Johannes Lievaart, Koen Rens, Wilfried van Gorp, Veerle van Gorp and Wim Meuris. This methodology is based on the belief that talent is not innate since all children can develop it at a high level starting from the early stages, involving parents and thus creating the best positive environment for the child.

At last Judith also specialized in Music Mind Games. A methodology of music learning which brings joy to kids of all ages while learning music through games.
