Imagine all the people living life in peace <3!

 

  • I am a music and drama teacher, currently teaching at Nurmo High School and Secondary School in Nurmo, Seinäjoki, Finland.

  • I studied my Master of Music degree at Sibelius Academy. I specialized in ethnic music and combining music and movement. 

  • I got my drama educator degree from the Open University of Jyväskylä.  

  • I conduct three choirs: Youth Choir Luritus, International Youth Choir YES and Female Choir Huvina.

  • I am an honorary consul of the Republic of Lithuania.

  • I sing in: Female Choir Tuulivoima, which I founded in 2011. I'm in the board of the choir. I am in charge or organizing Tuulivoima's performances and concert tours abroad.

  • I am the Finnish coordinator of the international music educators' organization European Association of Music in Schools (EAS).

  • I am a member of the board of Finnish Society of Music Educators (FISME). 

  • I was the founder and chairman of the Anna Hyvän Kasvaa (Let All Good Things Grow) charity organisation (2013-2021). Our main aim was to help children and families in Finland and in third world countries. 

  • I am a freelance writer, specialized in culture and travelling. I have worked as a cultural assistant for Ilkka, the main newspaper of my province Ostrobothnia, since 1990.  

  • I give music, drama, improvisation and rhythm workshops for children, youth, choirs, teachers and teacher students and for different NGO's all around the world – so far in 34 countries on six continents: Europe, Africa, Asia, South America, Australia and Oceania. The lenght of my workshop can be anything between one hour and a couple of days - or even one month (in Harare, Zimbabwe, in 2016). 

  • I love getting to know open-minded, soul-seeking people all around the world – especially in places, where nature is very beautiful. Logically, I love traveling, especially with my three adult kids Maria, Sanni and Laura. We have been traveling all around the world - for example in 16 countries on our half-year UnelMatka World Tour in 2016. By 2023 I have travelled altogether in 74 countries, in all other continents except Antarctica.

  • My favorite song is Imagine by John Lennon. My aim is to ask people all around the world sing Imagine in my workshops – after telling about the meaning of the song - and to create peace, love and understanding between people through this song <3!
