Join us for a New Year of Creativity and Fun with…

Does your child have a talent for music?

Are they banging around on the piano, playing air guitar, belting out their favorite songs, using your kitchen pots and pans as a drumset, or spinning and bouncing around the house?

Then it’s time to let them channel all of that creative energy into music lessons in: piano, guitar, voice, singing, violin, cello, drums, mandolin, ukulele, bass, brass, woodwinds, preschool music and more.

Brand New to Music?

Whether you’re brand new to music or already experienced and ready to take your training to the next level, our faculty are ready to customize lesson plans to place you on an immediate track to success! We realize that the needs and interests of a five year old student taking lessons for the very first time are very different from an adult picking up an instrument again.

Over 10,000 families, 50,000 Lessons Provided Annually, 38 years.

Learn more about our student’s experiences at LAAPA.COM

Here’s what our Parents are Saying: “As a piano student at LAAPA in the 1980’s and early 1990’s I realized what a gift it was to learn an instrument. I wouldn’t be where I am today without music lessons and to have the special experiences as a student at this school. These positive experiences became such an important part of me that I felt that I had to share my experience with my own daughter. My daughter Sarah loves to sing. So, I enrolled her in summer music camp four years ago and she had such fun that she wanted to take voice lessons. We were so fortunate to get Ms. Katarina as her teacher because she encourages her students to learn what inspires them to be creative and to not be afraid to perform and love to sing and play. Your child has the ability to be an excellent musical talent but it’s rare to have a teacher and an institution like LAAPA to foster that ability.” ~ Ben Anderson Other LAAPA Schools

“The staff is extremely caring and teachers are very invested in you succeeding.

With their help, I transformed the school of my dreams to reality. My composite not only jumped to a 35 but I feel more prepared for college as well.”

— Karl S. (11th Grade) “I could not find a way to motivate my son via some of the traditional routes (study guides, classes) of preparing for the ACT; he needed a personal connection to a tutor, and he found that at Huntington.

That made all the difference.”

— Father of Karl

“Huntington was an amazing experience! My Confidence and skills are at allnew levels. The tutors were wonderful.”

— Ally A. (12th Grade) “I highly recommend the Math ACT prep program. Huntington teachers prepared and motivated Ally which allowed her to reach her Math ACT goal.”

— Mother of Ally

“Before I started Huntington I felt nervous about school. I thought it was too hard. I did not enjoy math or reading that much. After Huntington, I became smarter and confident. Now I enjoy school!”

— Keidyn M. (4th Grade) “When my son started Huntington Learning Center, he was struggling severely in school. I met with Huntington, and my exact words were, ‘I don’t know how my son made it to the 3rd grade’. Since he started Huntington, he has accelerated! Huntington has not only brought my little man’s academics up but his confidence as well. I could never thank Huntington enough for helping my son succeed in school and succeed with confidence!”
