From the reviews
I attended hochstein for a couple years as a child. I took trumpet lessons from Nate Rawls who had a ton of patience and excellent instructional skills. My memories of hochstein are all fond and happy. To this day the lessons I received are incorporated into all my musical ventures 😊
I absolutely love Hochstein. I studied there from 2000-2002, in 2008-2009 and now from 2013 to present. I have studied with three different piano teachers and they have all been amazing!
A wonderful school with many outstanding and accomplished teachers. For students dedicated to music as well as those just looking for an enrichment experience.
I love it here. I see Yi- Wen Chang for piano lessons- I used to take lessons from her when I was a lot younger about 10 years ago. I started again about a year and a half ago.
Your first ballet class at The Hochstein School
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
