Hi! My name is Lauri Hämäläinen. I am a Finnish-Swedish violin and viola teacher from Finland. I have been teaching classical music for over 30 years in Finland and Sweden and played in many groups from duos and string quartets to various orchestras. With everything I do, I try inspire more people to start to play classical music and encourage them to continue their hobby until the professional level.

I have been composing music and publishing violin books, viola books and arrangements for orchestra since 2016 with the name Violin Friends.
