These aren’t just piano lessons, it’s a complete music education!!

Our founder, Joseph Hoffman, holds a master’s degree in music and has years of piano teaching experience. He and his team of experts have put countless hours into creating a program that nurtures well-rounded musicianship in a fun, playful atmosphere. Students not only learn to read music and play songs, they learn to play by ear, improvise, compose, transpose, and understand music theory. This complete and carefully planned curriculum is easy to use and easy to learn for anyone, whether they have prior experience in music or not.

Lots of lessons for lifelong learning

We’ve produced over 300 video lessons (and counting!) presenting a full range of musical concepts while teaching songs students love to play. Do you like popular tunes, classical music, movie music, video game music, or holiday songs? There are video lessons that teach songs within all of these categories! Check out our library of popular songs video tutorials to find some of your favorites. Hoffman Academy lessons can take you all the way from a beginner with no prior music experience to a confident, independent musician able to learn and play a variety of piano music.

What is the most effective way to learn piano?

Effective piano learning has two main components – a good teacher and a dedicated student. The importance of finding a good piano teacher can’t be emphasized enough. One of the great benefits of learning piano online is that you have access to an expert teacher right in your very own home!

When you watch one of Mr. Hoffman’s video lessons, you’re learning from an expert teacher who has dedicated years to developing and testing his teaching method. Hundreds of thousands of students agree, learning piano with Mr. Hoffman is great! His series of video lessons clearly explain musical concepts step-by-step, encourage creativity and musical exploration, and make sure students take time to develop a wide range of music skills so that they’ll have all the tools they need to be confident musicians for life.

To effectively learn piano, setting aside time every day to practice is key to making good progress. Hoffman Academy can help with that! We have guided practice plans that let you know what to practice to make sure you’re learning new songs, reviewing what you’ve already learned, and developing a complete and balanced set of music skills.

Guided practice plans

Detailed practice plans take the guesswork out of what to do between lessons. Each practice plan walks through exactly what to work on each day. 

You may ask, how long should I practice as a beginner? While practicing anything it’s important to be consistent and practice! As a beginner, sticking to your practice plan and setting aside at least 15 minutes every day to practice can make it really easy to see your progress.
