VILLE LAAKSONEN
Singer | Composer | Singing teacher | Vocal coach

Welcome to my website! It is dedicated to my two main interests — creating music and teaching.

MUSIC


I'm a composer, songwriter, singer and pianist. I released a cinematic pop album 'Shadows Are Light' in September 2022. My debut album 'Spaces Between Memories' was released in 2016 and in between I worked on a piano album 'Spaces Around Times' which was released in 2019. I also write music for films and choirs as well as songs for pop artists.
You can read more about my artistry on my music page.


TEACHING


As a teacher and pedagogue I work mainly with singing voice and singing on all levels but also coach songwriters and pianists as well as speakers. I graduated as Master of Music from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. I was also a pioneer of Complete Vocal Technique in Finland being one of the first teachers there. Since, I've moved on to broaden my expertise by including many more tools inspired by further education on courses and at conferences.

As a teacher I see myself as a facilitator and I'm a strong believer in student-centered learning.
You can read more about available lessons and courses as well as my teaching philosophy on my teaching page.
