The Magic of Performing Arts: How Music Lessons, Acting, and Musical Theatre Transform Your Child's Life
Welcome to Hunterdon Academy of the Arts (HAA), the County’s largest performing arts school for students of all ages! A one-of-a-kind afterschool program, HAA is a community of currently 800 students and 40 teachers, where you can explore Music Lessons, Acting, and Musical Theatre in a safe and supportive environment. Dive deep into any one of these disciplines or try them in combination, all under the same roof.
Our Music, Acting, and Musical Theatre programs are magical because they provide a transformative experience for our students. Over time, many students who are naturally shy and lack self-esteem develop into outgoing and confident individuals excelling not only as Musicians or Actors but also academically at school.
Food for the Soul and the Brain
The single most important reason why you should engage in the performing arts is the amazing enjoyment they provide. Learning a musical instrument; understanding character development, emotions, and communication as an Actor; and taking the spotlight on stage are deeply meaningful experiences that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
But equally important, especially for parents, the performing arts are an integral part of a well-rounded education–for good reason. They strengthen imagination and independent thinking; build problem-solving, innovation and decision-making skills; and improve memory and recall, among many other benefits. No wonder that students engaged in the arts do better academically than those without arts training.
Delivering nourishment for the soul as well as the brain, performing arts activities at HAA position our students to lead happier, healthier, and more successful lives.
Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity! It will make a big difference in your Child’s (or your own) life.
