Carlos

Welcome to my profile My name is Carlos Ortega and I'm a professional musician and teacher. I finished the Bachelor of violin in the Royal Conservatory of Madrid (RCSMM), where I received classes from Joaquín Torre. I am an active member of the Spanish National Youth Orchestra (JONDE) with both violin and viola. Before arriving there I was in the Youth Orchestra of the Autonomous Community of Madrid (JORCAM), Youth Orchestra of Aragon (JOA), Atlantida Chamber Orchestra, Iuventas Orchestra, Orquesta Ciudad de Alcalá (OCA), Orquesta y Coro de Cámara Sonora (OCC Sonora) and Philharmonic Orchestra of the 25 Villas (OFC25 Villas), being concertmaster in the last two. Besides orchestras, I also have experience in quartets: Serenata Project and Cuarteto ORBIS. I started teaching when I was 15, taking advantage of the training I received in the educational project Il Violinati when I was at the Professional Conservatory of Alcalá de Henares and, since then, I have continued working as a teacher in music schools and high schools, besides giving private lessons. Before the pandemic began, I had experience teaching online, because some students had a difficult situation in terms of availability. But it is true that the pandemic has made me improve the quality of my classes, since it has been the only way I have had to continue working as a teacher. Currently, many of my students still prefer this format. Want to learn to play an instrument? Get ready for an orchestra entrance exam? Have a backup teacher for the conservatory or high school? Don’t worry, I have a plan for you. Depending on your goals, your age and availability we can work to achieve what you have proposed with a 100% personalized plan that adapts to your needs. (There is a 30 minute class completely free so you can get to know me and you can consider if I am the teacher you are looking for, without commitments) Don’t hesitate and send me a message.
