Central Helsinki Music Institute
Central-Helsinki Music Institute is a music community for children and young people. We have about 300 school aged instrumental students, who meet their 30 teachers weekly. Also over 250 music playschool pupil gathers at groups for children from 3 months to 8 years. Both individual and group education combines goal-oriented, compassionately determined studying and creative expression.
The aim of the studies is to build to the student a good relationship with music – the possibility to get tools for life trough artistic skills and emotional growth. Playing in group is important part of studying from the start. There are different bands and orchestras which repertory varies from baroque music to contemporary music and from folk and world music to other rhytmical music.
Studying is enrichened by creating ones own music, musical technology, improvisation and integrating other form of arts. The basis of funding is formed by a combination of government and municipal support. The Music Institute offers education in advanced syllabus legislated in the Act on Basic Education in the Arts.
