 Hoff-Barthelson Music School
The School offers a comprehensive after-school and Saturday music program of individualized instruction in combination with a sequential musicianship curriculum encompassing music theory, ear training and composition skills. Participation in large and small instrumental ensembles and chorus, and frequent performance opportunities in a warm, familial setting, are a hallmark of the School's curriculum.
There are three Orchestras, four Choirs, a comprehensive Jazz Studies Program, three Flute Choirs, Master Classes, workshops, and guest appearances by world-renowned artists.
Young children are introduced to music through the Preschool Center, Dalcroze-Eurhythmics music and movement classes, Suzuki Program, and recorder classes. The School year is further enhanced by a five-week Summer Arts Program.
Hoff-Barthelson Music School community extends a welcome of warmth and caring to all who walk through its doors and into its musical home. At Hoff-Barthelson, students embark upon a journey of musical growth under the guidance of our distinguished and dedicated faculty, and are encouraged to explore their musical ideas, tastes, and potential in a familial setting of friendship and support.
Hoff-Barthelson is committed to uncompromising standards of a comprehensive musical education for everyone.
Students, parents, faculty and administration strive for excellence while sharing the joy of accomplishments, and establish lifelong bonds of friendship through their love of music. The interaction of our young students with their teachers and peers is a significant facet of their development as musicians and as people.
Just as a cherished family heirloom is lovingly passed from parent to children, we seek to nurture the love of music in our students as a treasured gift from generation to generation.
Private Instruction is at the core of the Hoff-Barthelson curriculum, with private lessons offered on all instruments and voice in both jazz and classical idioms. A Suzuki program of classes and private lessons is available for violin, viola, and cello; a modified Suzuki approach is offered for piano lessons. There are two 16 week semesters in the school year. Students are carefully matched with the appropriate teacher after an interview with the school Dean. Students enrolled in private lessons are encouraged to participate in musicianship classes and ensemble groups offered by the School at no additional cost.
Musicianship classes are offered without charge to students enrolled in private lessons. Students are placed according to age and level of advancement. Classes include basic and honors musicianship, composition, vocal ensembles, Advanced Placement Prep, Advanced Placement Theory, Music Technology Lab and College Prep, a further exploration of diatonic harmony for serious students who have completed the AP Course or its equivalent.
