“I am thrilled with the musicality, confidence, creativity, and carefully crafted step-by-step technique that my 8 year old is soaking up. She has learned to play songs confidently in multiple keys and in multiple ways, picks out simple melodies by ear, and is improvising and composing her own songs. She is always excited to practice!”Jen, Homeschool Parent
Our super-fun online piano lessons get kids playing music they love from their very first lesson. Rigorously kid-tested for over two decades and grounded in learning science, the Hoffman Method offers the most complete piano education you can find anywhere. Don’t just learn to play songs. Become an empowered musician who can read and write music, compose, improvise, and understand music theory concepts from key signatures to chord symbols.
We’re on a mission to bring music into more homes and communities around the world. Everyone should have access to music education. That’s why our award-winning series of online piano lessons is free.
Hoffman Method Books reinforce, expand, and deepen the learning presented in each video lesson. Thoughtfully and beautifully designed, and tested for over a decade with thousands of students, the Method Books are an essential part of a student’s learning experience. All Method Books are available for download with a Premium membership.
Browse our sheet music library of over 750 titles organized by difficulty level, composer, and genre. Also find hundreds of printable learning resources to reinforce lesson content such as flashcard games, board games, holiday music theory packets, and your own rhythm mat and rhythm cards as seen in our lesson videos!
Level up your music theory skills with our fun, learning-rich online games. Strengthen your sense of rhythm, note recognition, sight reading, ear dictation, and more. Games make practicing fun!
Practice sessions give you step-by-step instructions for what to do between every single video lesson, including professionally recorded audio tracks to play along with. Students will feel like they’re playing in a real band!
My goal in creating the Hoffman Method was to build on my own piano teaching experience and integrate the most up-to-date research on learning theory and motivation to help anyone learn piano successfully.
The Hoffman Method is rooted in the philosophy that ALL students – including kids, teens, and adults of any age – can successfully and joyfully learn to play the piano online, regardless of so-called “talent.” I believe that when you combine a sound teaching approach with consistent, focused practice, skill and ability will always blossom.
I have made it my professional life’s work to “find the fun” in piano learning, and I sincerely hope that the Hoffman Method will help you to do the same.
Happy playing,
Joseph Hoffman
