A new English language music playgroup, attached to Oulu Conversatoire (Oulun Konservatorio), will offer group lessons once a week to five and six year olds, starting August this year. Canadians Stephanie and Nathan Archer, teachers of The Playschool of Music, will use the Kodály method to teach young children through folk songs.  Kodály’s aim was “music and singing at school in such a way that it is…a joy for the pupil.”
