I`m a well-trained and qualified singing teacher from Jyväskylä. My passion is music and this work that I do. Although I really enjoy singing and being on the road, my true love is to teach and I adore amazing artist like Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, Sting, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Sergio Mendes, Antonio Carlos Jobim to start with. I belive, that anyone can sing if they really want to and my work is to help them find those tools to work
with. So seize the moment and find out if singing is your passion too.
Singing lessons and courses in Jyväskylä
I am a vocal trainer and youth leader living in Jyväskylä with my family of 2 girls and my husband Sami. I have now been teaching permanently since 2007 and done both freelance jobs and working in different places such as Jyväskylän ammattiopisto, Jyväskylän ammattikorkeakoulu, Mikkelin musiikkiopisto, Keski-Suomen Popjazzleiri ry., Keski-Suomen Popjazzopisto.
I have started studying music when I was 6-years old and through music classes, studying at Sibelius collage, being a bands lead vocalist, is were I got the spark to be a vocal trainer. My first own singing lesson was over 20 years ago. After that I studied at a local music institute in Kerava and in Helsinki music institute Stadia, where I was two years as pedagogical student. I have also gotten 3 months of intense training in Washingon D.C. Howard University, taught by Faith Jordan, who offered me great tools for especially jazz singing and scat solos.
In 2010 I graduated from Kuopio music institute, got my diploma in vocal training and became a professional singing teacher. Now I study in University of Jyväskylä and I will get my masters degree with in a few months. In addition to all the education that I have, I also have composed and made lyrics for my previous bands (genres were alternative pop&rock and folk) and for a document called "Viimeinen sammuttaa valot", which was shown twice on Yle channel TV1. Also one important highlight of my music career was when I got a call from Ville Tanttu who asked me to sing a few songs in the movie "Paha Perhe" (released in 2010), which was directed by Aleksi Salmenperä and produced by Aki Kaurismäki.
A few words about my classical backround. I started playing violin when I was 6 years old and later switched it for the viola. Through my classical studies, I have played in different orchestras such as Jorma Panula`s, East-Helsinki Music Institute`s and in some theatre orchestras.

- pop&jazz singing
- vocal technique
