“Before I found this health coaching program and the help of Sam, my life was a constant up and down. I had struggled with my weight almost my whole life it seemed and then once I became a mom of two...it only got worse.

Just when I began to lose hope, I decided to try another path. And I’m so glad I did because not only did I go from over 200 lbs to my current 132 lbs...I’m now doing things I’ve never done before like running, cooking healthy foods for my family and being a fun energetic mom who plays with her kids! I no longer feel like the mom who has to sit on the side lines watching...I’m in the game playing!” — Blythe

Here’s what our Parents are Saying: “At a time when I was concerned for my children’s self image and well being, the academy gave much more than music lessons and dance classes. They nurtured my girl’s natural musical talents. More amazing, the staff and teachers fed their souls and characters. I can see the difference in how my girls view themselves as well as difficult tasks.

Children are supposed to feel invincible and the school helped achieve this feeling for my girls. A simple music lesson has culminated into the addition of good friends and family to our lives.” ~ Robin Ledet

“Ben LOVES the classes, and they have benefited him tremendously.

His intentional listening skills are improving, as are his fine motor skills, balance, and coordination. Ben loves to dance and sing to the songs we learn at Preschool Music. He has also developed an interest in musical instruments, especially the piano and guitar, and would like to take lessons at the Academy when he is older. Ben and I have a lot of fun together and look forward to attending our session every week.” ~ Heidi Hoppe Other LAAPA Schools

“My daughter’s vocal teacher is wonderful, and our entire experience with LAAPA’s whole staff and organization has been above and beyond my expectations. Having a child with A.D.H.D., I have seen the change in my child, for she has truly developed a love for music thanks to this school. It not only has boosted her self confidence, it has opened her up to a new world. If you’re looking into taking lessons for yourself or a loved one, put this school on the top of your list to call.” ~ Anthony Bourgeois
