Introduction

 

I am currently working as a doctoral associate at the University of the Arts Helsinki, Sibelius Academy. My doctoral research study on children's singing and identity is part of Academy of Finland's Strategic Research Council research initiative ArtsEqual (2015–2021). The study examines the potential of singing in the construction of children’s individual and social identities. The study, which is contextualized within the culturally diverse school, focuses on children’s perspectives on singing and on how children can ‘gain voice’ in and through singing. 
 

I am also an active classical singer and vocal pedagogue. I am specialized in teaching singing to children.  My work as a Suzuki Voice teacher specialist and as teacher educator has enriched my experiences at local and international level.
