From the Director Dear Prospective Student: Thanks so much for your interest in studying music with the Louisiana Academy of Performing Arts.  As we enter our 30th year, we continue to carry out our mission of providing students of all ages with only the finest in music education.  If you’re currently trying to decide between several different music studios and programs, please take a moment to review our free report entitled, “Five Ways to Get the Most from Music Lessons.”  For additional information, I invite you to download our digital brochure which can be saved to and printed out from your personal computer.  Both of these documents contain helpful information regarding available programs at various ages and what you should look for and consider when selecting a music instructor or school. If you haven’t already done so, I also invite you to further explore our website which contains numerous photos, information on upcoming events, and more.  At LAAPA, it’s our mission “to instill a lifetime appreciation for the performing arts within each student.”  It would be our pleasure to do the same for you!  Should you have any additional questions, feel free to give us a call at the location closest to you! Sincerely, Ryan P. Cullen, Director Louisiana Academy of Performing Arts
