~ Hi! I'm Markus Alppi, a Finnish musician, educator, therapist, and software developer ~
I have a passion for creating meaningful experiences through music, languages, learning, and technology.
My academic background includes music education, primary education, music therapy, psychology, Latin, and ICT technology. As a freelance instrument teacher, I have taught students of different ages and skill levels, while my long experience in ensembles has given me a broad understanding of musical collaboration and expression.
Alongside teaching and performing, I create games, develop educational resources, and publish online learning materials. I have a special interest in Latin language and ancient cultures, including composing and creating music with Latin lyrics.
Through my work, I aim to inspire curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning.
