Faculty and Staff

 

Hunterdon Academy of the Arts proudly presents a team of distinguished Music Teachers, and office staff. All instructors have professional college degrees, or equivalent professional experience, and have been carefully selected to help us maintain the consistently high educational standards that our students have come to expect of us. We are very proud to point out that quite a few of our instructors also teach at various colleges and universities.
If you are looking for the best possible teacher for your child or yourself, please take a moment to browse the faculty bios below. To help you choose, we have started adding video clips of public performances, music lessons, and music classesto each music bio, and we will continue to update these video files as we acquire new footage of our teachers and their students.
