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

Premium features with Hoffman Academy

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.

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.

Want 50% off? Comment “NIGHT ZOOKEEPER” below, and I’ll send you the link. 💌

Confession: we were 100% studying Botany for 2026- Confession: we were 100% studying Botany for 2026-2027.

My daughter skimmed through both notebooks, and Botany won, hands down. Case closed... or so I thought.

Then we visited the Lowell Observatory in Arizona this spring. We paid the extra $5 for the rooftop presentation at night, and while the rest of us were shivering, she was frozen in place for a totally different reason...completely in awe.

In the gift shop, she asked, “Is it possible we study Astronomy instead?”

Here’s another thing about homeschooling I’m grateful for: we get to say yes to that. We get to follow the wonder instead of the plan.

So this year, we’re diving into Exploring Creation with Astronomy, and I already know we’ll be filling that student notebook cover to cover, because a completely filled-out @apologiaworld notebook might be the most underrated homeschool mom flex there is. 😅

I just unboxed something really special today. It’s the brand new Far Afield nature study from Beautiful Feet Books, and I am so looking forward to taking our time with this one. 

It’s designed for grades 4 through 6, and it is BEAUTIFUL.

We’re talking 104 lessons built around living books, field guides, and illustrated companions. Plus a consumable logbook, watercolor cards, hands-on activities like building a lemon battery and making a walnut sailboat, and guided field trip days.

This is the kind of nature study that makes your kids want to go outside and pay attention to creation.

We’ve been using @worldwatchnews for years! It started with searching for a way to incorporate current events in our homeschool days, and I found this subscription that includes 10 minutes of real-world news and entertaining stories that somehow always turns into the best conversations and prayer topics around the table. 

An additional bonus is that it breaks up the read-alouds, which is a mutual and welcome pause, while also keeping us all informed.

Right now, new subscribers can try it completely free, and here’s the important part: you need to use my link (coupon code JUICEBOX automatically applied at checkout) for it to work.

Here are some of the more memorable books about th Here are some of the more memorable books about the ocean that we have used in our homeschool:

🌊 The Shark Lady by Jess Keating: The true story of how Eugenie Clark became the ocean’s most fearless scientist.
🌊 The Little Island by Margaret Wise Brown: written by the same author of the classic Goodnight Moon, The Little Island is about a kitten who visits and witnesses the changing seasons of this special place.
🌊 The Heart of the Samurai by Margi Preus: In 1841, a crew of Japanese fishermen find themselves at the mercy of New Englanders after their ship sank. Manjiro, a 14-year-old boy, is eager to learn everything he can about American culture.
🌊 Where the Wind Leads by Vinh Chung and Tim Downs: still one of the most memorable reads of my life. I am biased because my husband’s family has a similar story, but it was a fascinating retelling of fleeing Vietnam in hopes of freedom, safety, and autonomy.
🌊 Watercolor with Me in the Ocean by Dana Fox: We just all loved these watercolor books, and the ocean version is a favorite!

If your homeschool space has slowly turned into a landing zone for half-used workbooks, mystery markers, and “I’ll deal with that later” piles... you’re not alone.

I just uploaded my homeschool space purge and clean out to Youtube. Sometimes a tidy space really does make room for a calmer heart and day. Praying this encourages you today.

Dads and teens have a different dynamic, and I thi Dads and teens have a different dynamic, and I think that’s actually a gift.

Less conflict, but also fewer of those everyday moments that just naturally happen when you’re together all day. What I’ve seen in our home is that it’s not about keeping score or doing more, but about being intentional in the spaces that already exist. Rhythms and routines that say, “I was thinking about you.”

Simple things done faithfully over time add up to something really meaningful.

If you’re looking for a starting place to share with your husband, comment “dad books” and I’ll send over some of our favorites for dads and sons to read together.

With all of our unique family dynamics, what is something your husband does with your teens that actually connects? I love hearing your ideas and practices that land!

A random summer homeschool day in photos… We did A random summer homeschool day in photos…

We did all the things in the morning, and then we did none of the things this afternoon. It was a full and varied day!

We beta-tested a friend’s game show room today (think escape room meets all the game shows you know of) and ended the afternoon with pho and good conversation with my teens.

This is what I want to remember about homeschooling. Not just the books and the lessons (although I love them!), but the days we said yes to something different and ended up making new memories.

Summer with your people is a gift.

Just a good old fashioned summer homeschool day. ☀ Just a good old fashioned summer homeschool day. ☀️ 

I woke up early and got to read from my Bible, and short sections of a couple books (Untriggered by @therealamberlia and Pause by Sarah Allen). I set a weird challenge for myself to not drink my iced coffee until I get that reading in. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Then, we fit in family subjects, math, a history read-aloud, and a workout. We are off to beta test a friend’s new escape room business now! 

Thought I’d join @onthecovehomeschool for a #thursdaytablescape today. Thanks Paige, this was fun!

I come back to Charlotte Mason’s Principle 12 more I come back to Charlotte Mason’s Principle 12 more than almost any other. 

Education is the Science of Relations: It’s this simple, yet brilliant idea that our job isn’t to download information into our kids, but to help them feel genuinely connected to ideas, nature, beauty, and truth.

That reframe has saved me on more hard homeschool days than I can count.

If you’re new to Charlotte Mason’s philosophy, this is a great place to start. If you’ve been at it for a while, let this be your reminder for these summer months.

Our summer homeschool rhythm is simple by design. Our summer homeschool rhythm is simple by design.

On the days we are home, we focus on math and language arts so it’s not a jolt of confusion when we return to fall. I am weaving in things that we used throughout the school year such as history read-alouds, morning meeting resources, and Night Zookeeper for my youngest, because it is just fun (free trial and 50% off available in my profile)!

Have any fun resources that you’re using this summer?
