WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
We teach all styles of music from rock, pop, country, jazz, classical and more! We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play.
WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS
Students start by learning fundamentals pertaining to proper percussion technique, which will enable them to achieve the most proper and efficient percussion technique. This technique is taught within enjoyable musical contexts and will greatly benefit students in avoiding overuse injuries that come with improper playing techniques. Students will learn how to read music through studying snare drum exercises/solos and drum set exercises/charts. Furthermore, students will have the opportunity to perform in various cabaret and events within New Haven Academy of Performing Arts.
Many of our events have become a yearly beloved tradition, such as the Halloween Cabaret, The NHAOPA Christmas Spectacular, Valentine's Cabaret and Annual End of the School Year Showcase. Performing in these and other shows is optional, where students make a personal decision with their teachers and parents as to which rshows they wish and are ready to participate in. Our events are very organized, and they are a lot of fun.
