Instrumental Music Studies follow the national curriculum of Basic Education in Arts offering individual studies in the chosen instrument or singing. The Vuosaari Music Institute offers studies in classical or rhytm music. In violin and pianoclass there is also an opportunity to study with the Suzuki method.
Instrumental music studies begin often at age of 6–9 but when studying with the Suzuki method one can start the studies as early as the age of 4.
Instrumental studies require regular training at home. Thus the involvement and support of the parents is very important.
