Workshops

I love to give different workshops for choirs.
If you wish to get to know a bit what I am about,

.AS A LEADER I AM INTERESTED IN:

– holistic way for expressing music in choirs & the joy of making music
– rhythm and how to learn it using the whole body
– always learning new styles and cultures
– improvisation in choral / vocal group settings
– multidisciplinary choral work
– developping choir leadership education in Finland and Europe

Interested in using and developping different improvisation methods
