thank goodness our friends told us about hoffman, its beyond difficult to find a new piano teacher when you move and especially when you are just introducing your kids to piano. I'm able to go at the pace of each of my kids. also mr. hoffman is amazing that he makes it silly and as a piano player myself, i love how he introduces new concepts to music theory and piano in such an inspired sequence. An amazing foundation for music in general not just piano.
We love Hoffman Academy! It’s easy to use and my children have learned a lot! Mr. Hoffman is very knowledgeable and entertaining!
I love this program! I recommend it to everyone I know. I teach piano but I wish there was a way I could teach like this. My kids (who struggled to learn from mom) have not only learned how to play piano with Hoffman academy, but also to sing, transpose, and compose music. It's been amazing to witness and I wish I had heard about it sooner.
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!
When I started to teach my elementary age granddaughter how to play the piano, I learned that I needed specific help on how to teach children how to play. My granddaughter and I are totally satisfied with our course purchase. She thinks the lessons are fun and looks forward to them. I appreciate how much skill Mr. Hoffman puts into each and every lesson.The lessons are so understandable! So glad we found this course.
Hoffman Academy was my best choice for home instruction, and I'm so happy I chose this venue. At the time of purchase of lifetime lessons, I had no idea how much that promise by Hoffman Academy meant. I had some health and family issues that have stalled my progress, but knowing I could pick-up at any place I left off was amazing. This is a blessing in itself! I'm so glad I'm part of the Hoffman Academy and look forward to being able to get back on track soon.
We really appreciate the guidance from the practice sessions and the ability to play with the backing tracks. My 7 year old son loves learning piano from Hoffman. It was definitely worth it for us to purchase the ability to use the practice sessions. We appreciated the free materials for two years and thankfully were able to purchase a membership this year and we have found Hoffman to be extremely generous in terms of what a membership offers. Thankful.
This program is amazing! I was very hesitant when I first signed up, I didn't think my son could really learn as much online as he could by having private lessons. I figured we'd try it out and see, and I am SO impressed! Within the first few months, he was learning more than I could have imagined...and I quickly bought the lifetime membership. My son loves the instructional videos, and they really make it easy to understand. I am beyond impressed at the quality of this program and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to play the piano. It's even great for adults wanting to learn!
Excellent teaching method. I enjoy playing classical piano taught by mr Hoffman. It helps to learn fast by analyzing the scoresheet. The overall course is designed to progress from basics to advanced piano experience. I am very happy with Hoffman academy. My only request is to design a separate unit for piano technique. This would help to practice without tension. Mr Hoffman always gives tips on piano techniques while explaining the pieces, however I think a separate unit for piano technique would be much appreciated.
Mr. Hoffman is an amazing teacher. His pleasant and gentle demeanor shine through his teacher videos. My kids and I love his program.
This is an amazing program. We have use it since our children were babies and they have been learning every day. Thanks for all your efforts!!!
This has been great for 3 of my sons. They are learning a lot of music fundamentals and of course piano. And we don't even have to leave home! It's such a great value. And Mr. Hoffman is such a great teacher.
We love Hoffman Academy. The videos are done really well and our son is very engaged. Great way of learning piano and being flexible with the lessons!!!
I enjoy the lessons from Hoffman academy, is an affordable price my kids likes the music thanks to this program.
Here is school who take it really step by step to explain every lesson. Often when I start in new lesson, I think with my self, wow this is very heavy. But Mr. Hoffman really show how easy that is, with his fantastic method. Thanks for good teaching. Eggert
My 8 year old just started Unit 2. I am so thrilled with the musicality, confidence, creativity, and carefully crafted step-by-step technique that she is soaking up. She has learned to play her songs confidently in multiple keys and in multiple ways, picks out simple melodies by ear, and is enjoying improvising and composing her own songs. She is always excited to practice, and Mr. Hoffman's puppet shows at the end of every lesson are amazing and so motivating :)
Humorous (especially the closing puppet shoes) . . . this aspect has really kept my children's attention. The fact that they are practicing songs right away and can perform them in front of their peers has been a big plus for this program. Definitely worth the money, and the time saved being able to do the classes on our schedule either at home or at my job has been priceless.
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!
My daughter has enjoyed Mr. Hoffman’s lessons and learned so much music theory (painlessly!!) in addition to learning to play. We also love that we can set our own pace.
Very useful and fun way to learn, adjustable to each student
