KeyToSong Today

At the KeyToSong Singing School, we offer singing lessons for individuals, groups and choirs. Currently we have more than 350 students at KeyToSong Singing School in Helsinki. We also train professionals in the health care sector (e.g. nurses, physiotherapists, and care assistants), school and kindergarten teachers, as well as organize business events etc.

The method is continuously developed by our teachers, feedback from our clients and following international singing research. The vocal exercises of the method are energizing and refreshing. They can be carried out by everyone without the ability to sing in tune. Our teachers pay special attention in creating a supportive atmosphere for learning in training groups.
