Our teaching philosophy is based on the assumption that the student is a unique and complex human being, conditioned genetically and by the environment to absorb information according to his or her learning style, intellectual profile, and other intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As teachers, we are strong believers in the theory of Multiple Intelligences, developed at Harvard University.

Supportive, enthusiastic, motivated, dedicated, compassionate, talented; these are just some of the ways I can describe the staff and teachers at HAA. Both of my daughters have had the privilege of being a part of this wonderful community for several years. I'm thankful we have such a wonderful resource in our community. We look forward to staying here for a long time!

My children have been attending the HAA since kindergarten. My older child is in high school now. You can imagine why we have been a HAA family for ten years years. The staff is always helpful in helping resolving scheduling conflicts to finding the right match for instructor. My children have changed their instruments of choice but we have stuck with HAA for school of choice!

This place is much more costly than the other nearby classes in the area. They cost USD 40 for every 30 minutes music lesson. The worst part is that if the tutor is not available, they force you to take the substitute class from an alternate tutor who doesn't know anything about your kid. We raised a concern with the manager, Jacob, but he is so rude and unprofessional.
They will charge you if you are absent. They will also charge you if tutor is absent on the pretext of providing an alternate tutor who doesn't know anything about what your kid is doing. NOT GOOD. They did this with us 2 times in a month. When we raised concern, the manager asked us to stop if we didn't like that so we stopped. There are better places around there for this price.

SO happy to have found this wonderful school of music and the arts! Miss Kristen is a superb Acting instructor and my daughter loves working with her! My son takes Piano with David S. and says nothing but good things after his lessons! David is easy-going, highly engaging and tailors instruction so appropriately! The staff at HAA truly embrace their skills & love of music/arts AND seem to thoroughly enjoy educating others in it! Kudos.

Both my children attend HAA and are thriving in their pursued talents. All the instructors that we have encountered through the past few years have been wonderful. The instructors hold incredible standards in regards to their own level of expertise and have a wonderful way of guiding their students. My oldest daughter has made wonderful progress working with Taylor for vocals and my youngest has made tremendous strides with her drumming skills since working with Joel.

My son has been taking drum lessons at HAA for the past two years, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results. The drum instructor, Adam Kishbauch, creates and inviting and encouraging atmosphere that really brings out the best in his students. The entire staff at HAA is fantastic. They are always very accommodating when we have schedule changes, and always put the needs of the student first. Highly, highly recommended!
