Music Ladders offer an opportunity to try a hobby in music in a group (6-8 children) for one year. During a weekly class we study the basic music skills with an instrument and enjoy making music together. With an instrument to borrow (doesn’t concern keys), the families get experience in practicing at home required by the hobby. During the year we organize concert experience and events.

In case you decide to keep the hobby after the year in Music Ladders, you may apply for the elementary studies in EMO or elsewhere. For the participants of the Music Ladders we have created a path into other forms of arts: dance, theater, circus and visual arts, together with arts institutions of the city of Espoo.
