Tina was born in 1995 in Imatra, Finland. She learned to enjoy music in many ways at young age - thanks to her musical family. She was extremely envious when her big brother started to play the trumpet. She also wanted to take up some noisy instrument. Her parents signed her up at Imatra Music institute where she started to play the violin at the age of four. Later she also wanted to try different instruments, so she started to play clarinet and piano in addition to the violin. At the age of 16, she moved to Lahti and started to pursue a dual degree at the Tiirismaa Upper Secondary School for Music and Lahti Conservatory for Music. She graduated in spring 2015. After studies in Lahti she started to study towards Bachelor of Music Pedagogy at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and graduated in spring 2019. Later on she has also studied music education and graduated from University of Jyväskylä with the title Master of Philosophy. 

 

Tina is currently freelancing and also teaching violin at Lappeenrannan musiikkiopisto. Teaching is very rewarding for her, but performing is also a great passion that she loves to do.
