Alberto Mastracci's Profile

Background:

Greetings! I'm an italian violist and violinist, as well as a composer. I was born in a family of teachers in a small mountain town in central Italy, so you could say that I have the blood of a teacher and of a mountaineer ahah I picked up the violin when I was 7 upon my grandfather's wish. Since then, I conducted my studies in Italy, Switzerland and Austria, where I graduated with distinction last year. I have played in the Slovene National Theater Orchestra in Maribor (Slovenia), and now I'm freelancing in Amsterdam. I believe my role as a teacher is that of a catalyst, a facilitator. I hope I can help you figure out your own way of playing and develop your own sound. As an orchestra musician I'm also aware of how uncomfortable playing a string instrument at the shoulder can be, and will help you find that wonderful feeling of freedom of movement and of expression.
