  In spring 2002, Pauliina May met the Dutch composer and pianist Izak Boom in Holland. Izak was looking for ideas to do something with different elements of world music. Pauliina May introduced him to the literature of Kalevala, to the poetry of Kanteletar and to the beloved Eino Leino. He was enthusiastically getting involved in the deep-rooted stories of Finnish literature and captured the feelings of the texts with his harmonical ideas from European, Middle-East and American folk styles, as well as Gypsy-Swing and Classical Impressionism. Together Pauliina and Izak explored their skills and talents and this led to the formation of AINA.

Vocal teaching and coaching in The Netherlands 1996-2004

Pauliina May (Diploma in vocal teaching and performing) has given vocal training in singing techniques: posture, breathing, resonance, ear-training, improvisation, and guided singers on stage with interpretation and expression from pop-music to musicals with Jazz and Latin-American music as her genre specialties and helped students to prepare for auditions privatly in Holland during 1996-2004.
She felt very sad to leave all great students behind when she decided to move back to Finland June 2004.
"We created fantastic art with voice with all my students and I am going to miss all that work and the energy of my students!
Keep on singing. It will bring so much fruit and happiness to your life!"
recommends Pauliina.
