Music school enrolment 2024

We continue to receive so many enquiries about the Music School that we decided to extend the application period for new students as follows:

  • The application period for piano, violin, classical singing, singing school and percussion will be extended until 7 April 2024.

  • The application for other instruments will be open until 21.4.2024.

ENROLMENT IN MUSIC SCHOOL, INSTRUMENT SELECTION AND RESULTS

  • Places will be allocated to some instruments on a first-come, first-served basis, but it may not be possible to guarantee a place on the instrument that was the applicant's preferred choice. The allocation of places is based, for example, on the age of the applicant and his/her suitability for the instrument in question. Furthermore, not all instruments offer the same number of places. Depending on the situation, an applicant may be offered a place on a secondary instrument or on another instrument in the same group as the primary instrument.

  • Applicants will be invited to an instrument selection session, if necessary. The instrument selection will take place from 16 to 17 April, mainly between 12:00 and 20:00, at the Tampere Conservatoire, F. E. Sillanpään katu 9. The possible instrument selection date will be sent to the applicant by e-mail by 8 April 2024.

  • The results of the student selection will be announced on 29.4.

  • Places must be received by 13.5.

  • The waiting list can still be used to admit pupils if there are cancellations.

  • For enquiries regarding the selection of pupils, please contact Reetta Aarre-Ahtio, Assistant Principal: reetta.aarre-ahtio@tampereenkonservatorio.fi
