Maite Iglesias began her musical studies when she was eight years old. She graduated from the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Santa Cruz de Tenerife with the highest honours, both in the specialty of violin and chamber music. She completed her postgraduate studies in Valencia with Vicente Huerta, and went on to specialize in baroque violin under the guidance of Hiro Kurosaki at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid.

Maite has performed with different orchestras and chamber groups in the Auditorio Nacional de Madrid, the Palau de la Música in Valencia, the island of Elba, Santa Fiora (Italy) and Mühldorf (Germany). She has also worked with the concertmasters of some of the best orchestras in Italy, such as Santa Sicilia di Roma, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and La Scala in Milan. Furthermore, she has been invited to the Orquesta Metropolitana de Madrid and the Italian Chamber Orquestra of Santa Fiora (Italy) under the baton of Massimo Zanetti, Dale Clevenger and Julien Salemkour, among others. Regarding her experience with baroque ensembles, she has performed with the baroque orchestra of the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música in Madrid with Hiro Kurosaki and has collaborated with the Escuela Superior de Canto in Madrid, playing as a concertmaster in Dido and Aeneas.

Her calling as a teacher has led her to work as a violin teacher in different conservatories, such as Ciudad Real, Guadalajara, Valladolid, Palencia and Segovia. Maite has developed a powerful pedagogic approach, that covers the needs of mainstream classical playing, while taking full advantage of her own interests in baroque music and historically informed practice.

Most of the lessons Maite has taught throughout her life have been face-to-face. However, when she had to live in other cities, she decided, despite her doubts, to take the initiative and try teaching her classes online: “After years of experience, I can say without hesitation that online teaching has exceeded my expectations and is a much more acceptable alternative than I thought.”
