Kotryna Siugzdinyte

2 years of Teaching Internship with RNCM Young Strings. Manager & Lower Strings Tutor at Fallibroome Academy Re:Play. Part-time tutor at the Junior RNCM.

I am kind, encouraging and enthusiastic with my students.My aim is that first and foremost, that pupils ENJOY the process of music making, and through encouragement can build their confidence at becoming better and better within each lesson and practice session. 

Throughout my own development as a cellist I was fortunate to learn from some of the most renowned cellists worldwide (Karine Georgian, Hannah Roberts, Philip Higham, David Geringas).

I feel it is my calling now to pass on the knowledge that I've gained from them.

From the very beginning, I care about building the fundamentally right habits, so that the student can progress and play with the most ease. Making music should be an enjoyable process - exploring different characters and colours with the sound, while increasing your technical capabilities and gaining confidence from the progress you make.

I gained my tutoring training during 2 years of Internship with the RNCM Young Strings - one of the best music schools in North England. There I lead 1on1 and group lessons for cellists and higher strings, as well as Dalcroze musicianship and Ensemble playing for pupils aged 5-12.

Since then I have worked at the Alderley Edge Primary School, taught in varied level masterclasses, and am currently a Manager and Lower Strings tutor at the Fallibroome Academy Re:Play project (working with children and adults), and part-time at the Junior RNCM department teaching 14-18y.o. advanced level students, many of whom are training to become professional performers.

Wether your a beginner or an advanced player - one of the wonderful things about music is that there is always something new to learn.
