In summary, the Hoffman Academy has probably one of the most comprehensive collection of video lessons for beginner piano students. They move in such a progressive and logical manner that it brings true legitimacy to online piano lessons that are often dismissed as not being as good as "real" traditional piano lessons. Hoffman takes full advantage of the medium to present easy-to-follow lessons that will draw parents into making music education a significant part of their child's upbringing. The biggest disadvantage of the Hoffman Academy video lessons is the lack of real-time interactivity with the teacher where the student can get immediate feedback on whether they are playing correctly or not. However, this can be filled in with engaged parents who should monitor and oversee their children's progress at the piano to fill this void (Parents should play this active role in traditional lessons too!). I also have a feeling that Joseph Hoffman will continue to develop the academy's website to address some of these shortcomings with possibly web apps or even computer and mobile device applications that can give the lessons an even greater level of interactivity for the students. We see it in other online courses. So why not in online piano lessons as well?
