“I’ve been studying under Giancarlo Ortiz for several months. Before finding him, I had tested out other instructors who just weren’t helping my abilities much.  After working with Giancarlo for a few weeks, I quickly discovered his talent for narrowing in on troubled areas. He quickly provided solutions and exercises to work through my bad mechanics that others couldn’t see. I now play with much greater ease of motion and the quality of my performance and sound is way beyond what it was before.  I thoroughly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their cello performance or feels like they are stuck, not able to improve. own."
