About Finnish music education
"Finland is also a real land of music play schools. Children learn basic musical skills by means of “aha experiences” and other meaningful experiences. Simultaneously, the lessons support the children’s cognitive, emotional, motor, and social development. As far as is known, there is no other music education system for preschool children elsewhere in the world that is as systematic. Finnish music and arts institutes have long evidenced a strong belief in nurturing creative talent both through intensive study and open exploration."
