Review of Hoffman Academy Piano Lessons

July 21, 2022 · In: Resources, Reviews

[ad] Looking for an easy way to add piano lessons to your homeschool or as an after school activity? After one year of using this homeschool resource, here is a breakdown of Hoffman Academy online piano lessons.

Thinking about starting piano lessons for your children is so exciting! If you’re like me, you’re doing all the research to make sure you find the right teacher and format for your child. As a home educator myself, finding great outsourced companies can feel like finding a treasure.

You are going to hear a review of our first year using Hoffman Academy online piano lessons.

After reading about all the features of both the free and Premium memberships, you will be equipped to make a thoughtful decision!

This post is all about my review of Hoffman Academy online piano lessons.

Online Piano Lessons

Overview of Hoffman Academy

Mr. Hoffman is an expert musician. He created the Hoffman Method that is family friendly, affordable, and a complete curriculum that is fun for kids ages 5 and up. The best part? Kids get to play songs on their very first lesson!

I had seen Hoffman Academy mentioned by other home educators so I wanted to give it a try. I signed up my 6 and 9 year old children for the free account. As I researched further, I found out that Hoffman Academy is the leading online platform for kids to learn piano and I can see why.

The Free Account

I was suprised at how much material the free account was packed with. Way more than I expected. It contained complete video lessons that my children looked forward to each day. You know something is engaging when I do not need to write something in their homeschool planner, but they ask to do it on their own.

After completing a handful of lessons with Hoffman Academy, I added in a hymn to their practice time that I pulled from a beginner’s hymn book. This has become their piano practice routine. One lesson from Hoffman Academy, and practice their hymn of the month.

What the Free Account Includes:

  • 300+ video lesson that teach the following:
  • Sight Reading
  • Music Theory
  • Rhythm
  • Ear Training
  • Improvisation
  • Technique
  • Solfege
  • Composition
  • Student Progress Tracking

The Premium Membership

After less than a month, my kids were enjoying the Practice Lessons so much, that we decided to upgrade to the Premium Yearly membership. Even though the free account included quite a bit, we are so glad to use the Premium features. Look at all the extras that you receive!

What the Premium Access Includes:

  • Practice Plans
  • Interactive Games
  • Downloadable Sheet Music
  • Additional Printable Resources
  • Audio Tracks
  • Everything from the Free Account

Music in Homeschool

So if you’re like me, and need to outsource music, this is a fantastic option. Hoffman Academy piano lessons Premium membership is much more affordable than private lessons. Use code LEARN for 10%! After many months of Hoffman Academy multiple times a week, my children still have a love of playing piano! I realize this is great for homeschoolers, but really for anyone interested in learning to play piano from the convenience of home.

It was not until almost a year after us already using and thoroughly enjoying the program, Hoffman Academy reached out to partner with me on this blog post. It is such a privilege to be able to share resources in our homeschool that has been helpful to our family. As a mom, just like you, I am always on the lookout for quality resources when outsourcing. To be able to pass it on to you like this is an honor I am grateful for.

    I was very happy with the lessons and my children liked them… But be aware that if you purchase the material, you are better to download it all and save it all because it won’t be anymore in your account after some time (my phone broke, so I lost the material that I downloaded). It was written in my account that I could have an unlimited access to my material (music sheets, audio songs, etc.), but without a warning, I see that I have nothing anymore. When I contacted the company, they tell me to buy it a second time.

One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is the c One of my favorite parts of homeschooling is the chance to prioritize character study. It’s been a cornerstone of our home for the past decade, and I’m sharing my absolute favorite resources that have left an impact in a blog post.

Comment “blog post” for the link.

What’s one area of homeschool you’ve been focusing on lately?

I used to know every word my kids read. Now I have I used to know every word my kids read. Now I have to trust the heart I helped to shape. It’s a tough shift!

God has been reminding me how he parents me with his presence and availability, not control. He sees me, and still draws me in with love. That’s the balance I’m reaching for with my teens: being present, not policing. The goal isn’t to catch them, but to be the one they can come to.

What’s one area you’re trying to give your teen more privacy in this year?

Sorry, not sorry I’m planning for Christmas! 🎄 Ev Sorry, not sorry I’m planning for Christmas! 🎄

Every year I say I want December to feel slower. This year, I’m setting myself up ahead of time with @thedailygraceco Advent collection.

I actually just placed an order for their Teen Advent study, Make Room. While I was there I saw great Advent items for little kids too!

The code “juicebox10” stacks with any discount. Grab what you’d like before this collection sells out.

It’s 3pm, and my brain is so done. Between dance, It’s 3pm, and my brain is so done. Between dance, volleyball, piano, and church, my car is basically a teen shuttle service. @moshlife sent me a haul of their protein bars, and they are a much better option for grab-and-go than what I usually have laying around. Besides protein, it has a brain blend with things like lion’s mane and ashwagandha, and it actually tastes like a treat instead of a chore. 

If your afternoons look anything like mine, go find these at Target before your next carpool pick-up!

Discipleship with your family doesn’t need to feel Discipleship with your family doesn’t need to feel like a burden. Some of the best moments with my own kids have come from a good book, some discussion time, and being present consistently.

Here are some sample resources for every age and stage, from little ones just learning who Jesus is, to elementary kids soaking up the big story of the Bible, to teens wrestling with real life questions.

I’ve also been quietly working on a new study for the tween and teen years, and I’ll be sharing more when ready. Comment “link” to get on the VIP email list to hear about first, along with other family discipleship resources.

Save this post for the next time you’re planning your next book haul.

Inside you’ll find:

✅ A daily Scripture reading checkbox for a little accountability

They sent me this pretty Wildflower cover, but Green Leaves is beautiful if you love a neutral interior, and Clay is stunning too. I’m also loving the faith-themed sticker pack and these pens, highlighters, and journals that I use for meetings too!

My daughter was in middle school when she asked if My daughter was in middle school when she asked if she could go to the mall with her friends from church. Just her, no parents, no siblings.

She’d never crossed that bridge before, and I felt the word “no” forming quickly before she even finished asking.

Somehow, I stopped myself and asked a few questions instead (a practice my husband is great at!). Once I started doing that, I realized something...those “can I” moments were only going to increase. New unchartered water, one after the other, as she got older. I needed to be ready with more than just a reflexive no.

I started keeping a few go-to questions in my pocket - questions that helped actually think it through together instead of me just handing down a decision.

Swipe for the three I use most often.

They didn’t just help her to use reasoning skills. They helped me move from reacting out of fear to a posture of discernment. Bonus: less resentment from her, more clarity for me.

She did end up going to the mall, and it turned into one of those small trust-building moments I still think about.

What’s a “first time for this” moment that caught you off guard?

A new study I’ve been enjoying with my 11 year old A new study I’ve been enjoying with my 11 year old is this nature science study from @beautifulfeetbooks. It comes with a beautiful assortment of literature, along with hands-on activities like this Watercolor Nature book. 

I plan for 1-2 lessons a week, and I commit to doing most of the activities alongside her. I have focused on my older two children and catering to where they are, and the one was the best tagalong. However, this year is different with two high schoolers, and I’m appreciating making this time with my daughter.

Until the end of September, you can take $20 off Far Afield with the code “JUICEBOX2026”. I’ll share books included in this study in stories. It has been so enjoyable!

As with most things, my planning rhythm changes as As with most things, my planning rhythm changes as my homeschool evolves. Here’s a breakdown of what is currently working...

🗓 Plan a week ahead maximum: my family’s schedule often has last-minute changes for a variety of reasons. Planning too far out made it frustrating to see so many cross-outs and rework things (visually icky!). A week ahead seems just right for now.
🗓 First I put down any out-of-the-ordinary things: a ministry or work meeting, an exam for a high schooler, a working on set day, or random appointments go here.
🗓 Morning meeting times: I choose the maximum amount of days we can fit in a morning meeting, and I now write the time to aim for up top. With live classes and places to be, this helps us all out a lot!
🗓 6th grade curriculum: I pull out my 6th grader’s curriculum to see what is ahead for the week and write it in my planner (this one is from @thewellorderedhomeschool and “juicebox” will give you 10% off.
🗓 High schoolers: Currently, I write down the start and end times of their online live classes until we all get used to this new schedule!

It takes about 15-20 minutes, and an iced coffee nearby helps a lot. With a full day, my future self is always thankful for the investment in these planning sessions!

Storytime... these small moments are a lot bigger Storytime... these small moments are a lot bigger than I thought. Even when it’s scary, even when we’re not the ones making the decisions, our hope is to raise kids who can think and discern through all the factors.

These everyday moments are so easy to miss, but they are the stepping stones to appreciate the foundation you’ve been building in your family.

Another first day of homeschool in the books! Thi Another first day of homeschool in the books!

This one hit different, though. It’s Riley’s last “first day” of homeschool before graduating. I’m soaking up every bit of it.

We always start slow on day one. No rush and no stress. Introducing our morning meeting rhythm, which includes our favorite @worldwatchnews, a read-aloud, a math lesson, and easing into what I know will be a full, busy year ahead. Slow starts provide time to sort through all the logins, set up for each course, and talk about our boundaries, expectations, and hopes for the year.

This year I’m also shifting more of my time and attention to my 6th grader’s schooling. I chose curriculum with that in mind. Every kid learns differently, and that’s the beauty of homeschooling: we get to build the year around the child and life circumstances in front of us.

One thing that’s already in our morning meeting rotation: World Watch News. It’s such an easy, no-fuss way to keep current events part of our routine, and it is a welcome break from book work that ALL of my kids appreciate. Use the code “JUICEBOX” for 2 months absolutely free! It is such a great resource, and I know you will love it.

I love sitting down with my iced coffee, praying over the months ahead, and envisioning what our homeschool days could look like. Other than the actual homeschool life lived, planning is one of my favorite parts of this!

This is the only “screen time” I hand over without This is the only “screen time” I hand over without a second thought.

It’s Night Zookeeper! My daughter is motivated to stay on task with her other subjects so she can earn her Night Zookeeper time. Somewhere along the way, she’s entered writing contests, received feedback from tutors, and just won the Star Writer Winner award. 🏆

It’s writing, spelling, and vocabulary wrapped up in these wild zoo quests she actually loves, with a parent dashboard on the back end if you ever want to lean on it within your ELA curriculum.

Purposeful, fun screen time that works for both of us? Yes please.
