Hello, I am Marie Körkkö – an active performing pianist (Master of Music), music pedagogue and Feldenkrais® Method teacher. I work in my own studio in Helsinki and at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki.
Thanks to my own active concert activities and the foundation provided by my Italian studies, I have a deep understanding of the demands of performing arts and top performance. I combine this experience with the know-how brought by the Feldenkrais Method. I help professional musicians, music students and instrument teachers find ease in their own work – from the practice room to the concert stage.
In addition, I offer open playing lessons and Feldenkrais lessons and workshops to everyone, regardless of the participants’ previous experience or background.

Piano lessons in Helsinki

Piano lessons at Pianokellari, located in Meilahti, Helsinki, are open to anyone interested in playing the piano, regardless of age or level. There are lessons for both weekly and occasional lessons. The lessons take place in Meilahti, Tilajakamo, at the premises of the old nursing school, Tukholmankatu 10 / Pianokellari Puiden Latvoissa.
Piano lessons allow students to get to know the instrument, how to play it, the world of art music and how to perform at a pace that suits them. The lessons use Pianokellari’s beautifully sounding August Förster grand piano. People of all ages and levels are welcome to take the lessons. All lessons are individual lessons. Home tuition is also possible in the city centre.

Feldenkrais® group lessons

In Feldenkrais® group classes (Awareness Through Movement®), the Feldenkrais® teacher verbally guides the group through various tasks and movements that are formed into familiar wholes or their details from everyday life. Everyone performs the tasks at their own pace, depending on how they have understood each task. There is no demonstration during the classes. With the help of the questions asked by the teacher, everyone searches for solutions and answers on how to do each movement more easily, more lightly, with less force, and more pleasantly. Pianokellari’s weekly Feldenkrais® classes are small group classes for 1-6 participants.

Feldenkrais® private lessons

The Feldenkrais® individual lesson (Functional Integration®) progresses according to the client’s current situation and theme. In addition to verbal guidance, the Feldenkrais® teacher uses touch as a learning tool. You can also participate in the individual lesson in your own everyday clothes. The duration of one individual lesson is approximately 60 minutes.

Feldenkrais® & Music

Feldenkrais® & Music classes are well suited not only for pianists but also for other instrumentalists and singers. Feldenkrais® & Music classes can explore the student’s questions, whether they are about playing/singing posture, performing, practicing, voice production, or any other issues affecting their own work. Feldenkrais® & Music classes benefit not only pianists but also all other instrumentalists, singers and performers in all kinds of fields.

Workshops and courses for groups are also available.

Tutte le lezioni disponibili anche in italiano.
