Summer Lessons – Additional information coming soon.
Hoff-Barthelson’s Summer Lesson program offers maximum flexibility, recognizing that summer is a time for both recreation and travel. Teachers set their own schedules, as do families, allowing students to register for as many or as few lessons as they like. Travel plans can easily be accommodated and lessons can take place on campus, online, or a combination of both.

Whether students aim to continue their musical progress, explore new instruments, or refine their skills, Hoff-Barthelson’s dedicated faculty members provide tailored lessons to meet each individual’s goals. This flexible approach allows students to grow musically while seamlessly fitting into their summer routines.

Explore these programs and find the perfect fit for your summer musical journey.
