My philosophy is that students learn through fun and involved activities that they can be a part of vs being lectured to.

Frustration will happen, but I have a game for that.

The Value of Learning Music

Did you know that learning to play a musical instrument doesn't just build musical talent-it can help your child succeed in school and in life?

"Highly engaged instrumental music students were, on average, academically over 1 year ahead of their peers."     - Guhn et al., 2019

The Value of Learning Piano for Kids

We are incredibly grateful for Mrs. Hofherr as our child’s piano teacher! From the very first lesson, she created a welcoming and supportive environment, making learning fun and engaging.

Mrs. Hofherr has a remarkable ability to connect with kids and tailor lessons to suit our child’s individual learning style. She has a wonderful way of explaining concepts in a way that’s easy to understand while keeping my child engaged and excited about playing.  Our child’s piano skills have improved significantly thanks to Mrs. Hofherr’s patience and encouragement. We couldn’t be happier with the progress and confidence our child has gained under her guidance. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about her students’ success and loves teaching. Highly recommend!

Roshen J  (parent of Siddy, age 7)

Ms. Hofherr is a wonderful music teacher. She’s so intentional about motivating her students and working with them when they struggle. Her lessons include a variety of activities, helping students with focusing. Our daughter has learned so much from her.

Elise L  (parent of Amelia, age 8)

Our daughter studied piano with Mrs. Hoffher as a high school student, transferring to her from a different studio. Her skillful piano teaching, blended with kindness and understanding of busy teenagers’ lives, makes her teaching style invaluable to encourage musical talent and love of music.  The fact that our daughter typically finds time to play her piano every time she is home from college is a testament to Mrs. Hofherr’s indelible contribution to our daughters joy of music.

Pam S  (parent of Lillian, age 17)

“Kate was my two sons' earliest teacher. She knew how to engage each one according to their different personalities and instilled in both of them the desire for technical and artistic excellence. As a military family, we move a lot, which means finding a new teacher every couple of years. Kate has been our gold standard of comparison. I am so thankful that my sons' introduction to piano was through her. She motivated them without quashing their desire to continue playing. “

Amy  (parent of Jonathan & Evan, now ages 15 & 12)
