With extensive teaching experience in Viola da Gamba, Cecilia was the head teacher for viola da gamba at the Escola de Música de Brasilia (Brasilia Music School) from 1995 to 2018. The years spent at the Escola de Música de Brasilia also provided many opportunities for professional achievements, such as: the creation of the ensemble "Gambas Candangas", the organization and coordination of the annual Viola da Gamba Week, and teaching appointments in six International Summer Courses. An important accomplishment was the inception and implementation of the Basic and Technical three-year courses in Viola da Gamba, both approved by the Brazilian Ministry of Education (MEC).

She was guest faculty at the Historical Performance Meetings held at the Music Department of the Federal University of Pernambuco (2010-2014), and at the 27th International Festival of Brazilian Colonial Music (Juiz de Fora/MG - 2016), teaching viola da gamba.
