As you can probably tell from my name I am a drummer and drum teacher. I have been a self employed muso in England for years now and will be relocating to the Turku area later this year. Has anyone made a successful transition to Finland in this profession?
I currently speak a little Finnish, and fully intend to embrace it whole heartedly and become as good as I can be with the language. As for my music I currently play all sorts, jazz, theatres, tours, bigband, happy to sight read, happy to travel etc
I do have a masters degree also, I have heard this can be useful for somethings.
Also what kind of rates are we likely expect for gigs/teaching/sessions etc ?
I realise there are a lot of questions here but if anyone can shed any light on any of it, that would be greatly appreciated!
Kiitos Paljon
