WINNER
​​"Best Place to Take Music Lessons in CT"
​2016 & 2017

My daughter has been a student at New Haven Academy of Performing Arts since August. She just performed in her first show. This school has exceeded my every expectation. Neil, Billy and Stephanie go above and beyond to make sure every child feels special and comfortable there. My daughter has never been happier. I highly recommend this school to any child or adult interested in singing, acting or instrumental lessons. Laura Palmieri/Student's Parent

​The New Haven Academy of Performing Arts offers music lessons in:

Guitar, Voice, Singing,  and Piano
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

WHAT DO YOU LEARN IN YOUR MUSIC LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. Our teachers make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals. 
​
We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach. 
A seven year old having their first guitar lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child. 
The main reason to choose the Academy as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual. 
If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.

WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH? 
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, blues and classical. 

ARE YOUR INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our teachers have received their education from prestigious institutions .Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe and have over 25 years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. 

GUITAR LESSONS
(for ages five and up) 
Our guitar teachers teach rock, blues, metal, country and classical guitar lessons on electric and acoustic guitars. Beginner students can expect to work on chords, simple songs and melodies, sight reading and theory. We balance musicianship and fun by making sure that each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite riff or song. We use a variety of guitar method books to accomplish this and encourage students to bring CDs or their iPod to their lesson to learn their favorite tunes.

DRUM LESSONS
(for ages five and up)
Our drum instructors teach rock, metal, jazz, funk, blues and many other styles. Drum language can be complex and our instructors will challenge any drummer with a wide variety of technical exercises designed to improve your speed and comfort. All drummers bring in their favorite drum parts to learn in their lessons and theory is encouraged.  Students use our drum set at their lessons and do not have to bring anything except their drum sticks and a notebook.

PIANO LESSONS
(for ages five and up))
Our piano teachers teach a variety of styles from classical to popular music. Whether you want to learn Bach or Alicia Keys, our teachers are happy to help you become the pianist you want to be. Our piano faculty will show you the fundamentals of sight reading, technique and theory, but they will also incorporate your favorite songs into your lessons. You do not have to have a piano at home to take lessons. A simple full size electronic keyboard will suffice for the first 6 months. Our piano teachers have warm personalities and enjoy sharing their love for the piano with you.

VOICE LESSONS
(for ages five and up) 
Our voice teachers primarily focus on popular music and specialize in MIX Technique. If you have always wanted to be a better rock, pop, country, jazz, gospel or R&B singer, then we have the right voice teachers for you. Voice students spend time each week doing physical exercises to improve their vocal range, ear training, breath control, vibrato, tone production, enunciation and more. All voice students set goals with their teacher to work on sounding like their favorite recording artists, or if they prefer, to develop their own unique voice. We not only teach singers, but also local TV and radio personalities who want to enhance their speaking voices and specialize in holistic voice therapy for those suffering with damaged voices.
