Inspire your child’s creativity with piano lessons at home!
Your child can learn how to play piano and become a confident musician with Hoffman Academy’s online music lessons. Thousands of homeschool families choose Hoffman Academy’s engaging and creative piano lessons. From the first lesson, students learn to play real songs, and our carefully designed curriculum builds a strong foundation of musical knowledge that will open up a lifetime of music fulfillment.
The Hoffman Method teaches your child piano through a fun, multi-sensory approach. Informed by child development theory, our method introduces the symbols of music through a carefully designed sequence, always bridging from the familiar to the unfamiliar, and always connecting sound to symbol. With our music curriculum that spans both classical and contemporary musical genres, your child will gain a high level of proficiency and confidence in music theory, sight reading, improvisation, composition, and more.

A complete online musical education grounded in the science of emergent literacy
The Hoffman Method is unique among piano methods because it trains students to play both by ear and by sight. Children are natural imitators, and their brains are wired to pick up language intuitively. Step one is guiding a child to experience the music. We do this through listening, singing, solfège, and movement. Once the music feels familiar to the child, the next step is to explore the melodic and rhythmic patterns embedded in the music, which naturally leads to playing on the piano. Once the child has successfully sung and played a song, then they are prepared to explore the notational symbols. These steps follow the same sequence that every child experiences in learning their native language: hear, imitate, then read.
