WHY HOVLAND

We're experts at teaching beginners

For over 30 years, we've specialized in starting kids ages 5 and up on the right path. Our proven, proprietary curriculum emphasizes technique and music reading from day one, so your child learns faster and plays real music sooner.

No practice battles at home

Your child will learn everything they need during their weekly lesson with their teacher, just like learning baseball at practice with a coach. If they want to play at home for fun, that's wonderful! We provide online videos they can follow along with. But there's no pressure, and you don't need to become a music teacher yourself. We want music to be joyful, not stressful.

Flexible scheduling that fits family life

We know how busy life gets with young kids. With unlimited make-up lessons valid for a full year, you can reschedule anytime, even with a different teacher or online. Our standardized curriculum means any Hovland instructor can step in seamlessly, so you can stay consistent even when life throws curveballs.

You'll always know how your child is doing

We can tell you exactly what your child will learn each month, when new concepts are introduced, and how they're progressing. No guesswork, just clear milestones and steady growth.

PIANO

Piano is the instrument everyone should learn to play. Not only is it very accessible and visual, but it can play the notes of every other instrument. The piano is a symphony at your fingertips.


Piano students progress through The Conservatory Course with weekly lessons. All students prepare for performances with multiple formal and informal opportunities available throughout the year.


Students will want an instrument at home and can start on an electronic keyboard. An acoustic piano or a quality digital piano is recommended by Level 2.


VIOLIN

Playing the violin fosters discipline and patience, as mastering the instrument requires time and perseverance. The violin is also a social instrument where being part of an orchestra or ensemble builds teamwork and fosters belonging.


Violin students progress through The Conservatory Course with weekly lessons. All students prepare for performances with multiple formal and informal opportunities available throughout the year.


Students don't need an instrument to start. Violins can be rented or purchased through Hovland or any violin shop. 

THE HOVLAND DIFFERENCE

LEARN - PLAY - PERFORM

Our mission is to help a new generation of students to grow up musical, and to help parents and students find a convenient way to start and stay in lessons. Our instructors guide students through each individual lesson helping them progress to advanced levels without the need for additional help at home from their busy parents. By joining Hovland Conservatory, students are provided with the Hovland curriculum and also gain access to our interactive student website, all of which together creates a foundation for a balanced and consistent music education.

 

Our lessons are practical, effective, and defined. All students who start and finish lessons with Hovland Conservatory learn to read and play fluently. Not only do our students grow up musical, but they receive many additional benefits that help them in school, socially, and in all that they do. Don't let another day go by! Music is one of the most lasting gifts you can give your family. You can start right away to bring music into your home.

We have developed a method of teaching that takes the guesswork out of learning and helps everyone learn better.

Our online training videos help your student learn faster by making playing at home more fun and effective.

It doesn't matter where you live, anyone, anywhere can learn in-studio or online with a certified Hovland instructor.
