The teaching of the Summer Academy will take place both in the area of ​​the Hyvärilä Youth & Holiday Centre and in the center of Nurmes.
In Hyvärilä, teaching facilities are found in the barn building and the manor building. The teaching facilities in the center are at Nurmes house, Kirkkokatu school (wooden school and stone school), Nurmes church (organ), Orthodox church (harpsichord and baroque workshop), and Rukoushuone (accompaniment lessons).
Training facilities are primarily on the premises of the Kirkkokatu school. The teaching facilities can be used for practice when they are free. In the afternoons rooms are reserved for the Summer Music concert rehearsals, and teachers have the right to use the facilities.
It is about 3 km from Hyvärila to the center. The Summer Academy's minibus starts running this distance right in the morning. There are some bikes for rent in Hyvärilä, or you can bring your own.
