She went on to acquire her own solo program, Golhaye Sahraii Wild Flowers , presenting a collection of folk songs and music from various regions of Iran, which is still remembered today.
After graduating from Tehran University in , majoring in Fine Arts, Sima Bina continued and perfected her knowledge of radif with the highly subtle teaching of great Master Damavi.
Since , along with teaching Iranian classical music and vocality to selected students, Sima Bina has focused on doing further research on Persian folk songs, collecting, recording, writing and re-interpreting popular regional music, especially from the Khorasan region, her native land.
