About this exposition

This exposition is an artistic research of Laura Petäjä as a part of her bachelor studies in the Global Music Department at Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts. The artistic research centers on the question of how can the process of changing the focus of a main study impact musicianship and a musician's sense of identity? The methods to research this topic have included studying other relevant research, personal discussions, journal entries and self-reflection. The self-reflections are made largely of Laura Petäjä’s path from playing Finnish folk music with the cello to singing flamenco. Some cardinal questions that rise through this research are: How can a musician who changes their focus from one instrument to another form a new identity and who can sing flamenco or as much as call themselves a flamenco singer - cantaor/a? The research also emphasizes the importance of listening to and following the musician's inner voice when deciding one’s artistic direction. In addition to those core questions the research consists of extensive self-reflection and discussion about the importance of finding and approving one’s own voice as a singer.
