The music institute receives governmental support for instruction in the advanced syllabus. In addition, the pupil’s place of domicile (Tampere, Kangasala, Ylöjärvi, Hämeenkyrö) supports each pupil place. If the pupil’s place of domicile is elsewhere, the pupil has to pay a pupil place fee in addition to the tuition fees.
2. The general syllabus (also Suzuki instruction)
The general syllabus consists of a weekly
- playing or singing lesson,
- optional orchestra rehearsal or some other ensemble playing group,
- optional lesson on musical perception starting from age 9–11, and
- regular independent home practice.

The tuition fee per semester depends on the length of the playing/singing lesson. More information on fees here.
Instruction in the general syllabus is not supported by the government or the municipalities, so the pupil’s place of domicile does not affect the fee.
3. Preparatory instruction
Lessons in preparatory instruction are for beginners. Pupils can participate in preparatory instruction for maximum of two years. After two years of preparatory instruction pupils can continue studies in the advanced or the general syllabus, according to their teacher’s recommendation. For young children, who are not yet at school, preparatory instruction can last for longer than two years.
