Fall & Spring Semesters
Weekly Private Music Lessons
Our Fall and Spring Semesters align roughly with the Beaverton School District calendar; consisting of 18 weeks of structured lessons at the same time each week. We observe a one-week break for Thanksgiving, a two-week winter break, and a one-week spring break. The Fall & Spring Semesters culminate in a mandatory off-site recital. Join at any point in the semester and we will pro-rate your tuition!
Weekly Piano Teams for Beginners
We also offer “Piano Team” group classes for young beginners (must join by the second week of the semester to qualify).
Come Together Week
During these semesters, we host two special “Come Together Week” sessions where the regular schedule may vary slightly (note: guitar students do not participate in CTW).
Summer Semester
Summer Private Music Lessons
Running for 12 weeks, Hoffman Academy – Portland’s Summer Semester offers flexible private music lessons for piano, guitar, and voice. Tailor your schedule to fit around your summer plans—perfect for testing the waters before committing to a full semester, or for trying out some pieces & styles outside of your usual repertoire. Meet for 1 week or 10 - Summer Semester is a more flexible time at the academy, allowing students & time to rest and travel while not losing traction.
2024 Camps are over - see you in 2025!Piano Summer Camps
Our week-long music camps are a great way to start a brand new piano student or for more experienced students to pick up additional piano skills & repertoire. For 2024, we are offering 2 “Jump Start” piano camps, 1 Video Game Music Piano Camp, and a Taylor Swift Piano Camp.
Stay tuned for our 2025 offerings!
