Mr. Ryan is a fantastic piano teacher. He's introducing my daughter to learn music that she both enjoys and is challenged by. He always makes a point to come check in with me as the parent even though my daughter is an independent teen, which I value and appreciate!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Kind, fun, and patient is exactly what Ryan brings to every lesson, and it's wonderful to hear your son is loving ukulele and even strumming along to his own songs at home. That's such a special thing to see at his age. We're lucky to have Ryan on our team at LAAPA!

I absolutely adore my bass guitar teacher, Ryan Kintz. He’s gentle and kind and endlessly patient; his laidback-vibe really helps set you at ease. He’s also got an incredible sense of humor – our lessons are always full of laughter from beginning to end! I leave each lesson already looking forward to the next <3

There aren’t enough good things I can say about LAAPA. Our daughter has been a student for almost 5 years now. We have watched her flourish in so many areas. The instructors have poured life and love into her each and every week. The results have made our daughter more confident, graceful, and talented. We are so grateful for this dance studio and the people who work so hard to make it such a special place.

My daughter has truly thrived with her piano lessons. Mr. Brewer is patient, friendly and makes it fun for her. We can’t wait to start Ballet as well. They have several days and hours which is super convenient with our schedule. We love our experience so far and so will you.

We have had an incredible experience at LAAPA. The piano teachers we've had (Rebecca and Brewere) are so friendly, kind and are great teachers! Our two kids have thrived and I have been amazed with how much they have learned in only 6 months time.

Our kids have been attending LAAPA for over two years and have participated in a variety of classes, including singing, dancing, piano, ballet, drums, guitar, improv, and now even auditions for plays. The instructors are incredibly talented, patient, and supportive, especially with younger children. We’ve seen so much growth in our kids’ confidence and abilities since they started. We highly recommend LAAPA to any family looking for a fun, positive, and professional performing arts program.
