RESONAARI MUSIC SCHOOL SPRING BULLETIN
Year 2016 has gotten off to a great start. In January we have already organized two events:
Resonaari charity night at Pressa nightclub and the traditional Valoilmiö-concert in Kulosaari
church. In addition to these, ResoRock Girls performed at Finlandia Hall at KeMuT –concert
organized by Kehitysvammatuki 57 ry. All events went well; thanks to the Resonaari
musicians for the great performances! Pictures from the events can be found on our
Facebook page: www.facebook.fi/Resonaari.
In the spring there will be more events: the Pressa Spring Flea Market in March, Resonaari
club nights in April, and two Resonaari soi –concerts in May. We will publish the preliminary
dates of the Savoy concerts in this bulletin. We will send more information about the
concerts, performers, and ticket sales later via email or mail. Please make sure your contact
information is up to date so you’ll get these important notifications!
It is going to be a fantastic spring! Let’s play some music!
Awards from Kehitysvammaliitto and Kehitysvammatuki 57
In November 2015 Kehitysvammaliitto granted Special Music Centre Resonaari the Aino
Miettinen recognition award. The award was given during the opening of
Kehitysvammaliitto’s study days at Paasitorni on Wednesday 4.11.2015.

According to the rationale of the award, Resonaari has been a trendsetter and has greatly
advanced the equality of people with disabilities throughout its existence – over 20 years.
In January 2016 Helsingin Kehitysvammatuki 57 ry awarded the directors of
Resonaari, Mr Kaarlo Uusitalo and Mr Markku Kaikkonen, for their “persevaring and
meaningful work with mentally disabled people in the field of music”.
Try playing the trumpet in the spring: 8 lessons / 50€
Are you interested in playing the trumpet? We offer Resonaari students a trial period of
trumpet lessons. You don’t need your own trumpet and you don’t have to have any prior
experience, all you need is the desire to try and learn something new!
The price of the period is 50€. It includes 8 lessons, 30 minutes each. The teaching day is
Monday. This trial period starts right after winter break week; the first lesson is on Monday
29.2. The last lesson is 25.4. The teacher is Riikka Aho. Riikka has been an intern at
Resonaari in fall of 2015, so the students are familiar with her. The number of spots is
limited; we will take in students in the order of enrollment.

Important information about studying
Especially for our new students and to others as well as a good reminder: please read out
Student Manual (Oppilaan Opas) for information about e.g. missing lessons, photographing
and protecting student’s hearing. Student manual is currently available only in Finnish, we
are working on a translation. Student manual online in finnish at
http://www.helsinkimissio.fi/resonaari/musiikkikoulu/oppilaan-opas
Many of our students come to lessons by a pre-ordered taxi. If for some reason the preordered taxi does not arrive and student therefore misses his class, the taxi is obligated to
compensate the price of the missed lesson to the student. Teacher will provide a written
testimony for applying the compensation. The amount is 20€, the price of one (missed)
lesson.
