Michel Sogny


Michel Sogny is a pianist, composer and doctor of philosophy who developed a new approach to teaching the piano. His method has enabled many students of all ages to enjoy practicing this instrument, as piano playing is generally considered to be unattainable if not taught during childhood
He first began teaching in his own school in 1974, which became a very popular place for many well known artists: Isabelle Aubret, Annie Cordy, Marie-Paule Belle, Alice Dona, Pierre Douglas, Françoise Hardy, Jeane Manson, Henri Salvador, William Sheller, Sylvie Joly, Sempé. His innovative and creative methods has been acclaimed by international media and eminent personalities in classical music: France Clidat, Aldo Ciccolini, Paul Badura Skoda, Alexis Weissenberg et Gyorgy Cziffra.
Many of his literary and musical works have been published by French publishing companies. Michel Sogny created in March 2000 his own foundation SOS Talents to support gifted young pianists, and still devotes efforts to developing their talent throughout his method.
SOS Talents Foundation organizes several gala concerts and festivals in Europe, which are broadcast live on TV and radio channels.
