Testimonials

"Give your kids the gift of a lifetime and sign them up for lessons at Hoff-Barthelson. My three kids all love music in large part because of their lessons, fabulous teachers, and classes at Hoff-Barthelson. HB's comprehensive musical education will help your kids play and enjoy music throughout their lives, while also allowing them to make new friends in a warm, supportive, and engaging community. My kids took individual lessons, theory, orchestra, chamber, jazz ensemble, etc., and they all continue to play and love music. And give yourself a gift and sign up for lessons as well. It's never too late to revisit an old instrument or start a new one. I play piano in a trio and it's one of my favorite activities. HB is a truly special place."
