I have had two daughters take piano lessons through Hovland. We love their teachers, their teaching style, and the speed at which the kids learn. It is like no other. They are professional, respectful and efficient in their approach and I wouldn't use anyone else. My daughter enjoys each lesson and what she learns and practicing isn't a chore for her. The lessons and teaching are extremely great value for what you get. We love Hovland!

Hovland offers quality lessons with a very organized curriculum. I am blown away by how well they managed the COVID distance teaching!!! The videos and reference materials are so valuable. The teachers work well with the students over the Zoom meetings. My child has learned so much over the last year and a half with Hovland! It’s a very reliable and well managed company. If you are stuck at home, yet wish to develop a skill, this is the way to go. Of course, access to a piano or a key board is necessary. We have a keyboard and it works

Our eight-year-old son had done piano lessons for more than a year before the pandemic hit. But he hadn’t made much progress. He’d get distracted during his lessons, and he would throw a fit when I asked him to practice. 

During quarantine, we decided to try Hovland Conservatory’s online lessons instead. The difference was immediate and dramatic. Our son suddenly started focus—for the whole lesson. I actually think wearing headphones really helps him cut out distractions. And he pays so much more attention to what his teacher is saying.

Practice time is also night and day. He really seems to enjoy the short, focused video lessons. He can start over if he gets tripped up. And he goes through the whole thing with very little prompting from me.

The Hovland curriculum is great, and I am a huge fan of the way they do online lessons. It’s so exciting to see my son finally learning piano!

Lessons with Hovland have been excellent! Our son has made incredible progress in just a few months. Their curriculum is clearly structured and they provide great online resources for students to practice.

My daughter started piano at Hovland when she was in first grade and she loved it from the beginning. It's been a year and she's made great progress. I personally don't have an instrument background, so it's been very helpful to me how the lessons progress in difficulty, are organized and teach how to read music along with physical technique to become an excellent musician. I was at first concerned about doing zoom lessons once COVID started, but it's been just as effective as in person, in our experience and has been something my daughter always looks forward to. The supplemental video homework clearly shows how to continue practicing the technique that was taught during the previous lesson. I've been very impressed. I have another daughter who was in music lessons elsewhere in which the lessons became ineffective once switched to online, that's not the case here and I am so thankful.
