Every Good Boy Does Fine? Not necessarily 

For many, "Every Good Boy Does Fine" is the only thing they remember from years of music lessons. It's a well-known trick, but one that often makes reading music harder, not easier. The truth is, not all schools are created equal, and the right foundation makes all the difference.

At Hovland, our thoughtfully designed learning process builds confidence and skill from the very first lesson. We help students avoid the common frustrations that lead so many to struggle or give up. Don’t leave your music education to chance. Discover the Hovland difference
