New Blog Articles: Our blog team, composed of current & former Hoffman Academy teachers, has been working hard on some fantastic posts; covering topics like arranging and transposing and compiling helpful collections of resources for holidays and the day-to-day.
- Piano Arrangement Tips & Techniques – Great piano arrangements don’t just replicate notes, but reimagine the music to feel natural under your fingers! This allows even complex orchestral scores, like Beethoven’s Symphonies, to be adapted beautifully for the piano.
- Explore Christmas Piano Sheet Music – The holidays will be here before we know it!
- How to Transpose Music – Change your do-re-mi to a different key.
- Free Piano Planner Sheets for Beginners Collection – Writing makes it real. Choose from a variety of FREE weekly, monthly, and daily practice planners & trackersÂ
Mr. Hoffman’s Birthday: We celebrated Mr. Hoffman’s birthday this month in a special way! He got LEGO-ified (thanks to ItsMinifigs on Etsy) and enjoyed a surprise montage of “Happy Birthday,” performed by Hoffman Academy students and teachers. Watch the video and join us in wishing him a belated “Happy Birthday” over on our Instagram!
Coming Soon! New Levels for Rhythm Shredder: Get ready! Our programmers are hard at work on brand-new levels for our skateboarding-style rhythm video game, which will offer even more challenges (& awesome kickflips) to sharpen students’ rhythm skills.
