If you're looking to take your pupils on an educational concert tour to another country, Tallinn in Estonia could be the perfect destination. The historic capital boasts a number of venues ideal for school concerts, as well as many attractions and sights that are sure to interest pupils in between musical performances. Some of the main venues your pupils can sing and play at include the Kanut Guild Hall, the town hall, the concert halls that can be found at the House of the Brotherhood of Black Heads, the Kumu Museum and the Church of St John, which organises a series of evening choral concerts. If you're able to make an excursion to Parnu, you can take part in one of a number of outdoor shows at the seaside resort in the summer. While in Tallinn, you should ensure you make the time to see some of the city's numerous attractions. One of the highlights is the charming Old Town, which dates back to the 13th to 16th centuries and is home to many beautiful buildings. These include the Holy Spirit Church, Toompea Castle, the Dominican Monastery, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Great Coastal Gate, among others. It is also possible to take in equally stunning sights in other parts of Tallinn. For some unusual wooden architecture, head to the Kalamaja area. Or if the seaside appeals, visit Pirita. Elsewhere, the Kadriorg region of Tallinn is home to the ultra-modern Kumu Art Museum and the much older Kadriorg Palace and Art Museum, while Rocca al Mare is worth a visit if only to take a trip to the Estonian Open Air Museum, which successfully recreates 19th century village life. You could even make an excursion to other Estonian destinations - such as Tartu, the country's second biggest city - and further afield. Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is easily accessible from Tallinn via a hydrofoil ride and should be added to your itinerary if you're spending a few days in the region. With so many interesting cultural and historical attractions to choose from, a school tour to Tallinn is sure to create an unforgettable experience for you and your pupils.
