In TAMK, the music is playing!

Graduate to a music professional at TAMK Music’s inspiring, versatile practical learning environment.
TAMK Music educates Bachelors of Culture and Arts and Masters of Culture and Arts in its degree programmes. Excellent teachers, interdisciplinary studies and close working life connections provide excellent foundations for a professional career in music. Our musical theater students perform in many different theater productions, so the level of our teaching has been noticed elsewhere. TAMK Music’s musical theater education is the only university-level musical theater education in the whole country.
Tampere is a great place anyway. As a counterweight to studying, there are hobby opportunities for every taste and the cultural and student life is lively. Growth centers like Tampere are suitable environments for studying music, as well as all cultural fields, because the vibrant cultural life and opportunities for cooperation in working life naturally support studying.
Networking in working life
Through the Orchestra Academy, we cooperate with the Tampere Conservatoire, the Tampere Filharmonia and the Finnish Defense Forces. The goal of the Orchestra Academy is to promote students’ professional skills in orchestral playing and to improve employment opportunities after graduation. Cooperation with Kamarikuoro Näsi and Tampere Cappella gives excellent perspective for professional choral activities. TAMK Sinfonia, TAMK Puhaltajat, TAMK Modern, TAMK Musical Theatre and TAMK Opera actively produce their own productions, most recently Puccini’s Suor Angelica opera, which was a success. Our musical theater students can be seen on the stages of all the biggest professional theaters in Finland, for example in Tampere, Lahti, Vaasa, Jyväskylä, Seinäjoki, Kuopio and Helsinki. With the help of our teaching trainee program, music pedagogy students can get to know practical teaching work already during their studies.
