Summer Piano Camp Packets are available during camp and will return June 2024!
Jammin’ around the virtual campfire has never been so fun! The Hoffman Academy Summer Piano Camp is a self-paced program designed for piano students of all levels. Created by our expert team of music educators, these downloadable Piano Camp Cabin packets are packed with pages of music learning adventures. Explore 7 different themed cabins with activities for both beginner and intermediate piano players. (Sorry, s’mores not included!)
Which cabin is best for you? All of our cabins include songs and activities at a range of skill levels, but some cabins, like Mr. Hoffman’s Hits and the Challenger Cabin, are designed for more advanced piano players. Explore our cabins and find your favorite:
Note that while we try to provide sheet music for piano camp for free where we can, many pieces we use are under copyright and we want their creators to be paid! You’ll be able to purchase and download sheet music for these songs (usually around $3-$5) from sheetmusicdirect.com.

Each cabin is designed with five days of activities, but you can go at your own pace!
Of course! In fact, we encourage you to! In addition to learning new songs in a variety of genres, trying each cabin is a great way to learn new musicianship skills, such as active listening and song composition!
Many of the songs you can learn at Piano Camp have graded video lessons so you can select the lesson for an absolute beginner or for a more advanced player. Check out each cabin for a more detailed guide to the learning levels available for each song.
Remember, you can always simplify a more challenging song by learning just the melody part!
Many of the songs you can learn at piano camp have graded video lessons so you can select the level that’s right for you. We especially recommend the “Mr. Hoffman’s Hits” cabin or the “Challenger” cabin for piano players with some experience and who want a challenge.
As your piano skills grow, remember you can always add more by improvising, creating a more challenging accompaniment, or finding your own creative ways to enhance the songs you are learning!
