Singing lessons

Post by Allard88 » Fri Jan 11, 2008 7:29 pm

Hi!
Is there a way to get singing lessons in Helsinki? (or Vantaa, or Kerava)
I tried laulukoulu voimalaulu, but there's no places for me available.
Now I know that singing lessons is probably "laulutunti" in Finnish, so I searched the internet for it. The only thing I found was like 55 € per hour or 220 € for 5 lessons.. That's too expensive, and I know that there must be cheaper ones (like 30 € per hour).
Where can I find this?
I heard something about Sibelius Akatemia also, but I can't find anything about it on the english part of their website. And I don't want to go to school to study singing, but just a few singing hours per month..
If anybody can help me I would appreciate it very much!
:)

You can go to sing karaoke much cheaper. Same effect as with cheap lessons.

If you want to whine of how everything is so much cheaper than someplace else, remember you get exactly what you pay for. The karaoke is much cheaper and you have an eager audience.

First of all the thing I was looking for are singing lessons in general.
I know that there's cheaper ones (around 30 €, which is compared to other countries still expensive) because I've seen such offers on websites. But those weren't in Helsinki. The thing is that I can't find singing lessons AT ALL. So still your replies are very useless. I wonder where you saw me whining, because I didn't whine about anything.

You could also try looking on the notice board at Sibelius Academy for students
offering singing lessons. Or for that matter, call one of the teachers there and
ask if any of his or her students would be giving lessons at the price you would
like to pay.

It's easy, just find the Parliament building and start walking towards Tennispalatsi
from there. If you get to the instrument shop on the corner, you've gone too far ;)
Plus Siba has a lit marquee on it to let people know about upcoming events. Kinda
hard to miss :D

Noh se oli viittauksena toisessa säikeessä olleeseen viittaukseen.

Minun mielipiteeni tämänpäiväisten ulosottouhkauskirjeiden lukemisen jälkeen on silti, et jos ei perse kestä ei kannata tulla inisemään hintapolitiikasta.
