At the Sibelius Academy you can study to become a professional piano musician under the guidance of respected Finnish and international artists and pedagogues. At the heart of the studies are soloistic skills, chamber music and Lied. Students learn to master the playing technique and styles required by the central repertoire and develop skills needed for independent artistic work. The studies prepare for a professional life as a soloist, chamber musician and/or a pedagogue.
