Central Helsinki Music Institute
Central-Helsinki Music Institute is a music community for children and youth. We have about 250 school aged instrumental students, who meet their 25 teachers weekly. In addition, over 250 music play (musiikkileikki, muskari) pupils gather in 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 a good relationship with music for the pupil – the possibility to get tools for life trough artistic skills and emotional growth. Playing in groups is an important part of the studies from the start. There are different bands and orchestras with a repertoire that varies from baroque to contemporary music and from folk and world to other rhythm music.
Studying is enriched by creating own music, musical technology, improvisation and integrating other forms of art. 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.
On this page you can find basic information on studying at Central Helsinki Music Institute.
