Why I Teach at SPU

Ilkka Talvi, Instructor of Violin

"I have had an urge to share my knowledge with others since childhood; call it a blessing or passion, I know of no other way. 对我来说, success in teaching means offering my students at SPU the best possible education, not limited to the violin, but spiced up with interesting information on a variety of related topics. I believe in this multifaceted approach to help guide and inspire."
