She deepened her love for music by studying Music Education and Choral Conducting at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre in Vilnius, later continuing her Master\u2019s studies in Choral Conducting at KMH in Stockholm. For five years, Kotryna worked in Scotland as a music teacher, choir conductor, and soloist in various projects.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Kotryna has always been actively involved in group musical activities \u2013 from choirs and summer camps to educational seminars. She has led and participated in ethnographic as well as collective singing and dance groups, volunteer projects, and international music festivals. She values curiosity, collaboration, and the joy of sharing artistic experiences with the international community.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Her teaching approach is holistic and flexible, acknowledging that there is no single universal method for a lesson. By integrating different disciplines, encouraging expression and improvisation, curiosity and reflection, as well as mutual learning between student and teacher, <strong>Kotryna believes<\/strong> that music lives within each of us \u2013 as rhythm, pulse, and sound. Just as we can understand one another by speaking the same language, this connection can be deepened even further through <em>collective singing<\/em>.  <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Kotrynos tikslas<\/strong> &#8211; kurti erdv\u0119, kurioje mokiniai gal\u0117t\u0173 \u012fsiklausyti \u012f savo vidin\u012f bals\u0105 ir juo dalintis su kitais, nes kiekviena pamoka gali tapti nauju atradimu ir augimo galimybe, padedan\u010dia mokiniams stiprinti ry\u0161\u012f su savimi ir aplinkiniu pasauliu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4065,"template":"","department":[67,91],"class_list":["post-4066","team-member","type-team-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","department-0-4-klases","department-grades-0-4-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kotryna Starkut\u0117 \u2013 Music Teacher | Erudito Lyceum<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Music teacher with international experience in Scotland and Sweden.
