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
