We signed my 3.5 year old up for the Little Wings program and its been a huge hit! He was a little apprehensive for the first class but the teacher and owner are so friendly that he was quickly put at ease and started rocking out in short order. Parents wait in the waiting room but are able to hear the music and you can tell how much fun they are having as they play everything from Raffi to Old Town Road. The format of the classes is a good mix teaching my son to appreciate music and work as part of a larger group as they collaborate in their band.
As for the facilities they are brand new and very conveniently located in West Hartford center with parking readily available. Just park and a short walk up to the second floor. You can tell everyone that works there is passionate about music.
Highly encouraged for anyone looking to expose their kids to music and make them feel like a rock star.
Wanted to share some feedback about our School of Rock experience so far:
Fun environment
Knowledgeable and fun instructors
Helpful Verbal Feedback and written feedback provided within 24 hours
My child (age 12) enjoys practicing and has a great relationship with her instructors.
Genuinely enjoying her time there.
The staff is phenomenal with kids. They make sure every kid is comfortable and move at their pace. My 6 year old son does private guitar lessons and also does the rookies class with my 4 year old daughter who is interested in drums. It’s only been a month and I love listening to both kids talk about what they’ve learned. Their love for making music has grown tremendously. I drive 45 minutes every week just to go to the School of Rock and it’s definitely worth it!
School of rock, Rocks!!!!

Today was my consultation and I was extremely nervous and anxious. Neil, one of the owners, came outside to meet me and showed me around. I was immediately put at ease by his warm inviting personality and positive energy. My instructor Sergio was extremely patient with me and took his time walking me through the exercises. Billy, the other owner, was wonderful with the sign up process and all three gave me great hope that I can finally realize my dream of learning to sing. I am so SUPER excited
I was looking for a school to send my 10 year old daughter who loves acting, singing and dancing and was lucky to find New Haven Academy of Performing Arts! She has been involved for only a few weeks now and absolutely loves it! My daughter is working with Stephani and Mr. Neil and cannot say enough great things about them. It makes me so happy to hear all of the great things that she tells our family and friends about NHAPA.
Yesterday my daughter participated in the Halloween Spooktacular which was an incredible event. It was thoughtful, creative, fun, interactive and so much more than other productions that my daughter has participated in with other organizations. My husband and I were actually surprised, in a very good way, and we highly recommend NHAPA.
If Billy, Stephani or Mr. Neil read this please know that our family gives each of you 5 stars as well. Thank you for a job well done.
(I am cross posting this review because I want everyone to know how great we think NHAPA is.)
My 8 year old said that his 2 week musical theater camp was his favorite part of his summer. As a parent, it was thrilling watching him come home happy and confident. The environment at NHAOPA was warm, supportive and happy! We had an amazing experience and will do it again!
