About
Hi! I’m Dana Vogel. I’ve been a professional musician for over 10 years, performing everything from classical piano at weddings to contemporary pop/rock shows. I have a minor in music performance, and I have a passion for music theory and songwriting.
I’m also a licensed speech-language pathologist, which gives me a deep understanding of how our brains learn, and allows me to adapt lessons for people of all ages and with all kinds of learning differences or disabilities. I believe piano can be fun and rewarding for anyone, and I love the challenge of finding what “clicks” for each student.
I use a combination of traditional and contemporary teaching methods, tailored to each student’s goals. Whether you want to perform classical etudes, accompany yourself singing your favorite songs, play in a band, or join your church’s worship team, I’ll help you get there efficiently—sometimes even “skipping” traditional methods when it makes sense.
Skills we’ll explore might include:
- Reading sheet music
- Understanding and playing complex chord charts
- Playing by ear
- Basic improvisation
- Accompanying vocalists or other instruments
- Playing pads
My approach is flexible and practical, designed to help you play the music you love as quickly as possible.
