Brass Academy's regional visits in 2025
The Brass Academy regularly visits music schools all over Finland. The aim of the visits is to give all players the opportunity to participate in a weekend event, primarily to stimulate their interest in playing their instrument and at the same time to give them the chance to get involved in the goal-oriented teaching of the Brass Academy. During the regional visit, the teachers will assess the students' playing skills, learning ability, group work skills, potential for development, and motivation.
8–9 Feb 2025 Vaasa, Kuula-opisto
Teachers:
Tomas Gricius, trumpet
Tanja Nisonen, French horn
Olav Severeide, trombone
