What is basic arts education?
- Basic arts education is goal-oriented, curriculum-based learning guided by qualified and professional teachers.
- The aim is to create a distinctive artistic path for each child and young person.
- Children and young people’s growth is supported through seven disciplines of the arts: music, dance, visual arts, crafts, theatre arts, circus, and media arts.
- It is easy to enter the basic arts classes, as there are no entrance tests for the Kuula-opisto or TaiKon.
- The path from basic arts education can lead to a lifelong pursuit of the arts or to different artistic careers.
