“Hoffman has been a great way for my kids to take piano at home. It is interactive and fun in the way it teaches theory and songs. We have used Hoffman for three years and have seen all of our three kids grow.”
“Hoffman Academy has been such a blessing for our family. We started during the pandemic and it awakened my daughter’s desire to learn music. What a joy to see her conquer fears of improv, learn to play her first song, and begin to read notes - and that was just in the first 3 lessons! I’ve been so pleased with the comprehensive approach, including sight-reading, theory, playing by ear and improv, solfege, and creativity to keep it all fun! I’m so thankful it is easily accessible and quality music education from an instructor who invests, even in students who are learning completely online.”
“I’m almost 72 years old and have decided to learn to play the piano. It is immensely helpful having the video lessons to review and the guided practice sessions for learning the songs. There are so many music fundamentals included in this course!”
“I never would have thought that an online program could teach my kids from scratch how to play an instrument. I was wrong. My kids love this program and are accelerating beyond my wildest imagination. Way to go Hoffman!”
“We love Hoffman Academy in our home! I play the piano, but I remember years of struggle, trying to master sheet music and finger position, not so with Hoffman. We have two lifetime memberships for our 10yo and 8yo sons. Our 6yo son plays some of the early songs just from listening to his brothers. My 10yo learned so well to play by ear that he immediately corrects any mistakes he makes and plays mostly from memory. He loves the extras that Mr. Hoffman puts out and is proficient at the Star Wars songs, We Don't Talk About Bruno, etc. At Christmas time this past year, my 10yo even played the Christmas carols for our family to sing along too! It's a thorough program as far as music theory, but it's also really fun for my boys which makes all the difference in them wanting to practice. Thank you so much Hoffman Academy for the gift of music in our house!”
“I am an adult, who had no piano experience and very little music experience, but wanted to play the piano, learning whenever I had free time. I have found Mr. Hoffman's lessons absolutely brilliant. All the features that he uses to make them work for children also work for adults, they are fun (yes, I enjoy the finger puppets!), clear and you can work at whatever pace you want, whenever you want. You learn useful musical skills and music theory, as well as how to play the piano. In addition to the video lessons, there are also well thought out practice sessions, complete with backing tracks. I have gone from no piano experience, to being able pick up scores and be able to play them (with a *lot* of practice), something I had always assumed would be impossible for me.”
“Great videos, modern pedagogy, my kid loves it. For adults, I would recommend Bachscholar instead but Hoffman is best for little kids. I got lifetime premium, and it was worth every cent. The puppet shows at the end of each video are a little reward for sticking out the lesson. Love it!”
“My daughter loves Mr Hoffman's piano lessons. He teaches in a unique way that makes learning piano fun! Recently she taught herself to play "Ode to joy"on the piano from a tablet game; we posted the video on the Hoffman Academy Facebook page, and she was absolutely delighted to receive a lovely response from Mr Hoffman encouraging her to continue to make music. Thank you!”
“We have three grandchildren who are learning to play piano with Hoffman. Based on how motivated they are to practice they seem to really like the method. The times when I have contacted customer service I have received prompt help.”
