A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME AND MY TEACHING

I have a Master of Arts -degree from Sibelius Academy, in which I included two major subjects - voice and piano.

As minor subjects I completed flute (teached by Tapio Jalas) and guitar (teached by Kari Äikäs). My master's thesis in Sibelius Academy was about vocal problems of music teachers in Finland.

My other accomplishments in Sibelius Academy include studies of Voice pedagogy B, and studies in the opera class as an additional student, performing first in the choir roles of the operas Falstaff, Gianni Schicchi and Soeur Angelica, and later in the productions of Le nozze di Figaro (Susanna) and Carmen (Frasquita). In the operetta Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss I have sung the role of Adele in the production of the Kirkkonummi orchestra. With the Savonlinna Opera Festival Choir I have performed in the operas Tannhäuser, Pajazzo, Cavalleria Rusticana, La Forza del Destino and Faust. I also have some competition experience from singing in the finals of the Kangasniemi song contest.  Nowadays I also perform with Kirkkonummi Opera Association on various occasions. 

 
I have been working as a vocal coach since 1999, teaching both classical and pop/jazz singing. Currently my students represent both styles quite evenly.

I have also worked as a vocal coach of different choirs. In the exam jury of Espoo Music Institute I have been evaluating exams of both classical and pop/jazz singers. This has been a really nice return to my "roots", since I have been studying in the Espoo Music Institute myself :).
