Heininen, born in Helsinki, had his musical training there at the Sibelius Academy. He had his diploma for piano and composition.
Among his teachers are Aarre Merikanto, Einar Englund, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Usko Meriläinen and Jonas Kokkonen. Later he studied in Cologne (Staatliche Musik Hochschule -with Rudolf Petold and Bernd-Alois Zimmermann-) and in New York (Juilliard School of Music - with Vincent Persichetti and Edward Steuermann-).
After his studies he became a member of the teaching staff of the Sibelius Academy.
His compositions are extremely concentrated and complex music.
