We may be biased, but we firmly believe that music making is one of the most fulfilling forms of recreation and self expression an adult can engage in. Forget about talent—music making is for everyone, regardless of ability level. Whether you are an advanced musician looking to bring your skills to a higher level, or whether you are a brand new beginner who knows absolutely zero about music, you will find a teacher at Hoffman Academy who will enjoy patiently guiding and encouraging you in reaching your goals.

What is unique about Hoffman Academy?
We are focused on having a balance between both quality and fun. Our young students actually enjoy learning music, because we engage their natural curiosity and creativity using an innovative multi-sensory approach, while still providing them with the expert training to reach a high level of musical proficiency. Our teachers don’t just teach—they are all practicing, expert musicians as well! The learning environment here is fun and nurturing, and our innovative, research-based curriculum has proven itself to quickly enable students to play music they love.
How much are students at the Academy expected to practice?
The specific amount of time students spend practicing is not nearly as important as having consistent, daily practice. Here at the Academy we expect students to practice six out of seven days a week, if not every day, and that during this time they complete their daily practice assignments from their teacher. For beginners, 15-20 minutes a day is usually sufficient. As students progress, daily practice time should increase.
If we miss a lesson or are going out of town, do you provide make-up lessons?
We do not provide make up lessons for lessons missed or canceled by the student. However, if you know in advance that you will need to miss a group lesson, at your request, your teacher can make an audio recording of the lesson for you.
This article helps explain why we can’t do make-up lessons:
