Music-focused teaching

Singing
Singing is a central activity in elementary school music classes. The used songbook serves as a bridge to different areas of music. The choir is chosen based on the music's own needs, topicality, school celebrations and topics.

Calling
The playing software is selected according to the needs of music education. The main instruments are school instruments: rhythm and melody instruments. Piano, guitar, recorder and kantel as well as orchestral instruments are used as student instruments according to the students' requirements.

In the spring of 2022, we will start cooperation with Riihimäki Music College. Music college teachers start wind instrument lessons for 3rd grade music students. Each student gets his own wind instrument and playing lessons.

Hearing
The music to be listened to is chosen for different grade levels in such a way that it supports the study of different areas of music and, if possible, subject groups.

The basics of music
We mainly deal with basic level 1 issues of the music college; music theory, music analysis and tuning. The history of music goes from ancient times to the 2000st century.
Furthermore, in addition to the national basics, Riihimäki's music-focused classes help develop self-confidence, cooperation and performance skills, skills that are needed in all areas of life.

Performance
Performing is also an important part of studying music. If possible, the spring concert is included in the program of music-oriented classes (we are happy to accept performance requests).

Cultural trail is Riihimäki's cultural education plan. It serves as a tool in the implementation of culture, art and cultural heritage education as part of teaching. The joint plan guarantees all children and young people in the city an equal opportunity to experience and do local culture as part of the school day. It also makes it easier for cultural actors to coordinate their own activities.
