Why choose us
Supporters want to know exactly where their contribution goes and who benefits. These are the four commitments we make to every member, donor and partner.
100% of our non-profit resources go directly into purchasing instruments, funding scholarships and hosting youth music programs. The board works on a voluntary basis, venues are often provided by partner schools and parishes, and administrative costs are kept to statutory minimums such as accounting and bank fees.
We preserve and advance Finland's rich musical heritage by investing in early childhood and youth artistic development. Local brass bands, choirs, orchestras and church music traditions depend on a steady flow of young players — and that flow begins with a first affordable instrument and a teacher within reach.
Fully registered in Finland (PRH: 30637184), operating under strict association transparency and ethical standards. Members approve the annual report and financial statements, the board records its decisions in minutes, and grant funds are reported to the provider in the form they require.
Beyond music notes, our programs develop focus, emotional well-being, social skills and peer leadership in young people. Older ensemble members mentor newcomers, section leaders learn responsibility, and every student practises setting a goal and working toward it week after week.
Annual membership supports the association's basic activity and gives you a vote at the general meeting.
Unused instruments in playable or repairable condition are inspected, serviced and loaned to a young student.
A named or anonymous contribution can cover one student's term fees, camp place or lesson series.
Schools, music institutes, businesses and cultural organisations can host concerts, sponsor workshops or provide rehearsal space.
