Alex Vogel - Pianist

My story

I got in touch with the piano about 15 years ago — in quite an unexpected way. It all started with a single video game. Whenever you launched it, a beautiful piano piece would play in the background of the main menu. I was so captivated by that melody that, instead of playing the game, I would just sit there and listen — imagining what it would feel like to play it myself.One day, I decided to stop imagining and start doing. I bought my first keyboard and set out to learn that exact piece. To my surprise, I learned it faster than I ever thought possible. From that moment on, I was hooked. The piano became my passion — I spent hours learning the songs I loved to listen to, losing track of time in the process.Later, I started playing on my grandfather’s grand piano, where he taught me about the pedals, touch, and the feel of real weighted keys — a whole new world compared to my little 61-key keyboard. Eventually, I got my first stage piano, and I’ve been playing (and now teaching) ever since.The piano isn’t just an instrument to me — it’s a language, a place of focus, emotion, and expression. And teaching it has become my way of sharing that same spark that started with one simple game soundtrack all those years ago.

a modern way of learning piano

The way I teach and play the piano is modern, personal, and rooted in real musical understanding. It’s not the traditional way of learning through endless sheet music and notation — although I respect that approach and recognize its beauty, I believe there’s a more natural way to connect with music.My method focuses on scales, chords, and improvisation — the building blocks of all music — while developing your ear, creativity, and musical intuition. Instead of memorizing notes on a page, you’ll learn to understand what you play, to hear what fits, and to feel the flow of the music.Each lesson is personal, fun, and effective. I don’t promise quick results — because learning the piano isn’t about speed. It’s a journey, unique for every student, where you grow at your own rhythm and let the music lead the way.This approach is designed for the long term: to give you a solid foundation, a clear sense of progress, and a deep understanding of how music is built. It simplifies complex theory, helps you truly grasp harmony, and gives you the freedom to express yourself through the keys.
