Study Guide
General
Academic Year 2024-2025
Teaching of the autumn semester begins on 12 August 2024. Teaching is provided for 35 weeks during the academic year. The academic year for teachers lasts 38 weeks from 7 August 2024 to 30 May 2025.
For three weeks the teachers have so-called other work (assessment, selection and entrance examinations, training) during which time there is no teaching.
Curriculum
The National Board of Education has confirmed the National Core Curriculum for an Advanced Syllabus of Music for Basic Education in the Arts (20 September 2017)
The City of Oulu's Board of Education and Culture has approved a new Curriculum for the Advanced Syllabus of Music for Basic Education in the Arts, which will be applied to students who have started their studies on or after 1 August 2018.
The transition period, during which some students studied according to the old curriculum and some according to the new one, ended on 31 July 2021. Students who started before 1 August 2018 will have their previous studies approved, and they will be transferred to studies in accordance with the new curriculum as of 1 August 2021. Further information on the curriculum can be obtained from your own teacher, study counsellor and study office.
Structure and length of studies
You can study for six years in basic education. At the end of the studies, there will be a final performance in the main subject. The calculation of the years of study does not begin until the student reaches the age of ten. Studies can also be completed in less than six years (recommended, for example, for adult students).In advanced studies, you can study for three years. At the end of the studies, a thesis for advanced studies is completed. Adult education follows the goals and core contents of the advanced syllabus in music.
Calculated extent of studies and number of hours
The calculated extent of the advanced syllabus in basic education in the arts is a total of 1,300 hours, of which 800 hours are basic studies and 500 hours are advanced studies.
The most common lesson length is 45 minutes for the principal instrument and 30 minutes for the secondary instrument.
In order to be eligible to apply to study a secondary instrument, a student must meet at least one of the following conditions:
- student is at least 12 years old by 1 August 2024
- student has studied the major subject at the conservatory for at least two years and has acquired sufficient skills there
Course of studies
Studies progress in accordance with the goals set each year. The student and the teacher set the goals together. For younger students, parents/guardians are also involved in setting goals. The achievement of goals is assessed annually.
Musicianship skills subjects are part of each student’s programme from the age of approximately 10 years onwards. The teacher of the major subject acts as the guidance counsellor of the students and supervises the progress of the students' studies.
Continuing studies in the academic year 2025-2026
If you do not continue your studies in the academic year 2025 – 2026, inform your teacher and / or study office during April-May 2025.
The actual continuation notice no longer needs to be made in Wilma.
If your address / home municipality / contact information changes during the academic year, notify the study office without delay.
About the rental instruments
The conservatory has some instruments (woodwind and brass instruments, contra- basses, cellos, violas) that the student can rent for their use under certain conditions. From 1.9.2024 rental costs € 51 / semester (VAT 25,50%). The rental period is 2 to 4 years, depending on the instrument, after which the student must purchase their own instrument. You can inquire about the instruments and renting them from the teacher of your principal instrument or the study office.
Piano students are required to have a piano at home.
Informing
Please remember to activate the conservatory's wilma usernames and follow the conservatory's messages in wilma. You should also follow the Conservatory's website and social media channels on Facebook and Instagram.
Student assessment and certificates
The student's progress is assessed in an ongoing dialogue between the teacher and the student, both during instrumental lessons and after performances. The student is also encouraged to engage in self- and peer-assessment.
The student receives oral feedback on their school year in the main subject. After the school year performance, the student receives feedback from another teacher in addition to the main subject teacher. The main subject teacher records the school year performance as completed in Wilma.
The Advanced Syllabus of Music for Basic Education in the Arts guides students to focused and long-term work. It also provides preparation for professional studies in the field of music. The studies according to the advanced syllabus are based on early childhood music education, basic music studies and advanced studies. More information can be found in the conservatory's curriculum and, for example, on the website https://www.oph.fi/fi/koulutus-ja-tutkinnot/musiikki-taiteen-perusopetuksessa-2017
At the end of the basic studies, the student receives a certificate of completed basic education. It provides a verbal assessment of the student's progress and development of skills during the basic studies.
The certificate of completion of an advanced syllabus in music is issued after the student has completed the basic studies and advanced studies included in the advanced syllabus. The student’s certificate of completion will be marked with a verbal assessment on the completion of the advanced syllabus.

Musicianship skills subjects (theory and solfege)
The content areas of musicianship skills subjects are the ability to read and write music, the awareness of music, and knowledge of the history and styles of music. The recommended age for starting to study musicianship skills subjects is 10 to 12 years.
Studies completed in a specialised music class, other music schools or music camps can be validated and credited to the student. For more information, contact your office or music teacher. If the student has acquired skills and knowledge through self-study or wants to bypass level groups, competence is assessed by a proficiency test.
Basic studies
There are four musicianship skills courses (MuHa1-4). Getting a certificate of basic music studies requires successfully completed MuHa 1-4 courses. The textbook used in basic studies is Doctor Toonika (Heikkilä-Halkosalmi). Available at music stores and bookstores, also online. The price of the book is approx. 30€ and it is used throughout the basic studies.
Rhythm music's MuHa 3 and MuHa 4 are organized every other year, and the order in which they take place does not matter.
The MuHa 4 (rhythm music hiatory) course will not be organized in the academic year 2024-25.
Advanced Studies
There are two obligatory musicianship skills courses: MuHa 5 (theory and analysis) and MuHa 6 (solfége). The courses common to all are MuHa 5 and 6 ( in addition to these, the rhythm music department also has music technology course, which is obligatory). Courses 7 (counterpoint, harmony and voice leading) and 8 (history of western music) are optional.
MuHa teaching starts in week 33. Registration for groups in the first lesson.
Classes are held in Pohjankartano's C3 staircase (former K staircase), unless otherwise stated. Pass either through the inner courtyard of Pohjankartano (sign on the door) or between the Musiikkikeskus and Pohjankartano. You can also attend MuHa lessons in a different unit than where you attend music lessons!

Arrengement of lessons, cancelling and study leave
The length of the lesson in the major subject is usually 45 minutes, but the length of the lessons can vary between 30 and 90 minutes. Subject collegiate make presentations to the rector about longer lessons. In a minor subject, the length of a lesson is usually 30 minutes. The length of the major and minor subject lessons affects the amount of tuition fee.
At the beginning of the academic year, both continuing and new students agree on their lessons with the major and minor subject teacher. The agreed time is valid for indefinite duration and may need to be changed during the academic year.
CALLING TIME FOR TEACHERS IS ON FRIDAY 9 August 2024 from 15:00 to 18:00.
Termination of studies must be notified to the study office without delay.
Cancelling a students lesson
Students should attend their classes regularly and prepare for them carefully. If a lesson is cancelled due to illness or other valid reason, the student must immediately notify the teacher directly or, if he or she cannot reach the teacher, the Study office on 044 703 9160 or 044 703 9162.
Teaching cannot be attended when ill
The student must not attend the teaching while ill, and the student should not be sent for a playing lesson when ill. When ill, the student must be absent from the lessons until they have been fever-free and otherwise asymptomatic for at least 24 hours. The same principles apply to all students, teachers, and other staff in the institution. Hands must be washed whenever entering and leaving the conservatory. Hand sanitizer found in the lobby areas and classrooms can also be used to clean your hands.
Cancellation of a teacher's class
During a longer absence of the teacher, the aim is to acquire a substitute. If no substitute is available, the rector will negotiate with the student/guardian of the replacement of lessons.
Study leave
All students are required to study regularly and continuously. Study leave must be applied for the duration of the absence. If the duration of absence is 1- 5 days, your own teacher will grant the permission. The rector grants longer absences.
Study leave is applied for in Wilma via the link on the “Hakemukset ja päätökset” tab.
- Select “ Hakemukset ja päätökset” from the blue top bar. If this point is not visible, first click on the three dots and then select the point mentioned above.
- Click on the “Tee uusi hakemus” section on the right and select Opintovapaahakemus (opiskelija/huoltaja).
- Read the instructions carefully and fill out the form.
- Finally, click “Tallenna tiedot”, and the form will be sent to the principal for approval.
- The decision on study leave will be made as quickly as possible within the working days of the conservatory´s academic year.
You can apply for leave for a maximum of one academic year at a time. Absences are counted as included in the study period, with certain exceptions. If the leave is applied for in the middle of the semester, the tuition fee is divided only for a serious reason (e.g., medical certificate, moving to another location). If the reason for the study leave is a temporary move abroad, continuity of study must also be arranged abroad.
Obtaining study leave usually requires a concrete reason, e.g., temporary relocation, military service, etc. Focusing on schooling or other hobbies is not a reason to grant study leave. The applicant should also be prepared for the fact that after the end of the study leave, the provision of teaching may not be possible immediately (e.g., the number of hours in the conservatory /for the teachers is full).
Applying for a secondary instrument
To apply, you must either a) have turned 12 by 1.8.2025 of or b) studied the major subject at the Conservatory for at least two years.

If you haven't received a place by then, you can apply again in the next application.
Students are placed in a secondary instrument according to teaching resources.
A separate tuition fee is charged for the secondary instrument.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN ALARM
Fire alarm
Immediately leave the space where you are, close the door behind you, and exit the building using the nearest emergency exit. Emergency exits are marked with green signs. When you reach the emergency exit, open the door by pulling the handle marked in green and breaking the plastic that surrounds the door latch.
Other emergency
If you notice an emergency, notify the senior attendant of the music centre immediately, either in person or by calling 044-703 7201.
For example, do not try to interfere with the activities of a person you suspect of thieving, but report it to the attendant. If you do not reach the attendant, report it to the study office on 044-703 9160, 044-703 9162 or directly to the police.
