Susanna Mesiä Trad. (äänite)
My special interests are popular music and jazz singing, pedagogy, band leading, continuing professional development, thesis supervision, projects and entrepreneurship in music. I teach both in Bachelor and Master programs. I'm also involved in Turbiini entrepreneur hub.
I perform as a vocalist and a musician in various musical styles. I also compose, write lyrics and arrange my own mysic.
My doctoral dissertation concerns continuing professional development and pedagogical thinking of popular music and jazz vocal teachers in Nordic higher music education.
