Guitar Lessons for Expats in Helsinki
Private & group lessons in English
Moving to a new city for work brings a lot of change at once. Guitar lessons are a simple, low-pressure way to build a routine, meet people outside the office, and give yourself something enjoyable to look forward to each week. At Plektra we teach guitar lessons in English for expats and relocated professionals in central Helsinki — no language barrier, no experience required.
Many of our expat students say it's less about becoming a great guitarist and more about having a creative outlet that has nothing to do with work — and that the regular weekly rhythm of lessons helps Helsinki start to feel like home.

Book Your First LessonOne-on-one lessons tailored to your goals, at times that work around a full-time job. Choose the music you actually want to play, and switch to online lessons whenever travel or a busy week gets in the way.
If you'd rather meet other people while you learn, our group lessons are a relaxed and affordable way to do exactly that alongside other adult beginners.
See all of our English-language options for expats and internationals on our music school for English speakers page. If you're in Helsinki as a student rather than for work, our guitar lessons for international students page is tailored to you instead.
