I have been teaching at the university level for over a decade. My courses on bachelor, master, and doctoral level relate to teachers’ pedagogical studies, special education, adult education, philosophy and research studies in music and arts education. I have contributed to the curriculum design at the Music Education Department at the Sibelius Academy by bringing forward issues of special education, disability, and older adults within pedagogical contexts. 

 

Currently I supervise six doctoral students at the MuTri Doctoral School in the UniArts Helsinki (2 completed doctoral dissertations). 

​

Before entering scholarly life, I worked for several years as a music instrument teacher for differently abled students of all ages at the Resonaari Music Centre. After leaving my teaching position, I have continued collaboration with Resonaari through research and development projects together with Resonaari’s teachers and musicians.
