Eino Natri
Eino Natri on helsinkiläinen kitaristi. Hänellä on pitkä soittohistoria erilaisissa kokoonpanoissa niin oman musiikin soittajana, bilebändimuusikkona sekä palkattuna keikkamuusikkona. Hän opettaa Säveltiellä pääsääntöisesti akustisen kitaran oppilaita.
Einon oma pääinstrumentti on sähkökitara, mutta hän viihtyy hyvin myös akustisen kitaran kanssa. ”Vaikka oma taustani on kevyen musiikin parissa, on ollut mahtavaa ja inspiroivaa päästä tutkimaan esimerkiksi klassisen kitaran ilmiöitä innokkaiden oppilaideni kanssa.”
Einolle soittamisessa tärkeintä onkin oppimisen riemu, hauskanpito ja itsensä ylittäminen.
Hänen tunneillaan perehdytään kitaraan soittimena, eri genreihin ja yleisimpiin perustekniikoihin teoriapuolta unohtamatta.
Hänen tavoitteenaan on saada oppilaat löytämään soittamisen riemu, kokemaan musiikin kauneus ja oppimaan ylittämään itsensä harjoittelemalla.
