PIANO:

The Hoffman Method, grounded in child development and learning theory, teaches kids to play both by ear and sight. It begins with a foundation in making music by ear and then blossoms into a complete musical education including solfège, dictation, composition, improvisation, sight reading, music theory, and more.

Most music programs begin by stressing the importance of learning to read music. With the Hoffman Method, there is no stress.Thanks to the Hoffman Method’s emphasis on enjoyment as a foundation for music education, young pianists actually want to keep coming back to the piano bench, lesson after lesson.
