Looking for keyboard lessons from a qualified teacher? If you live in Finland and you’re interested in expanding your knowledge in…

• essential knowledge of basic keyboard sounds in a band context
• practical sound design with analog and digital synthesizers, building your own sounds from scratch
• playing technique and chops with hammond organ and classic electromechanical keyboards (rhodes, wurlitzer, clavinet)
• building a stable setup and performing live with a laptop as your sound source (hosts like Gig Performer, MainStage, Ableton Live, dozens of different synth plugins like u-he Diva, Omnisphere, Serum 2, TAL-U-NO-LX2, Massive, built-in synths of Ableton Live and Logic Pro etc.)

…don’t hesitate to contact me and ask for keyboard lessons! Lessons available in both Finnish and English for private students or small groups.

I have over fifteen years of professional experience specializing as a synthesizer and keyboard player in various bands and projects. There are thousands of qualified piano teachers out there but still in 2020s it might be difficult to find a good teacher who can help aspiring keyboard players when it comes to creating your own sounds and making them stand out in a band context. Whether you’re a freelance keyboard player getting ready for a cover gig with 30 classic 80s synth-pop songs or an artist who wants to expand their sonic palette and wrap their head around the possibilities today’s synthesizers can offer, I can help you on your way.

Rig consultation

I can also help you choose your instruments, whether it be hardware synthesizers or software controlled via a midi-keyboard, or even both, depending on your budget and needs. I personally currently gig with a hybrid setup combining various hardware keyboards and Gig Performer but I’ve also performed with setups built around Apple Mainstage and Ableton Live.

Mentor with experience

I have previously taught many of my professional colleagues privately at my work-room in Itä-Pasila, Helsinki. In autumn 2020 I also had students from Sibelius Academy, the only music university in Finland. I graduated as bachelor in music pedagogy from Metropolia University of Applied Sciences in 2017, and currently I’m working on a master’s thesis with the working title “Constructing sounds, Constructing Knowledge: A New Paradigm in Synthesizer Pedagogy”.
