Biography - Voice teacher
Singing teacherI've taught singing over 15 years. I currently work in the Helsinki area and give one-on-one lessons as well as teach groups. I work with two choirs - Cantabile choir and Ahjo Ensemble as their voice coach. I am a member of the Finnish singing teacher association.
Individual learning
As a singing teacher the individuality of each student's process in developing their voice is important to me. Everyone of us has a unique voice, as well as an individual way of learning. My aim as a pedagogue is to support the student in finding their own voice and improving their singing skills in a way suitable for them. I've taught choir singers, professional musicians, teachers, as well as adults who have problems in singing in tune.
Psychophysical approach
I find the body awareness approach useful for singers and apply this in my teaching. I have written my Master's thesis on the importance of the mind-body connection in singing and the benefits of the psychophysical approach to the creative process and performance skills.
Other interests
Besides the music education, I have done cinema studies and written my Master's thesis about sound and soundscapes in film.
