Basic education in the arts

Tuusula offers excellent opportunities to study the arts in a long-term and goal-oriented manner at basic education institutions.

Basic arts education is goal-oriented and progresses from one level to the next according to age groups. The implementation of teaching is guided by the national core curriculum for basic arts education and the educational institutions’ own curricula, which are drawn up locally on the basis of the core curriculum. The teaching is primarily intended for children and young people, but some educational institutions also organise it for adults.

Basic education in music, dance, circus arts, crafts and visual arts is provided in Tuusula by the Central Uusimaa Music Institute, the Central Uusimaa Dance Institute, the TAITO Crafts and Design School of Southe Finland and the Tuusula School of Visual Arts.

Basic education in the arts is provided in accordance with either the general (500 hours) or extensive (1,300 hours) syllabus, depending on the educational institution. Pupils receive a certificate of completion of basic education in the arts after successfully completing the entire syllabus.
