Hunterdon Academy of the Arts has been serving the community since 1981. With an annual enrollment of nearly 600 students, HAA features the largest and most distinguished music studio in Hunterdon County. A member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, we are "committed to making high quality arts education accessible to all."
Hunterdon Academy of the Arts is very selective in appointing faculty members to maintain consistently high standards of teaching, and ensure that students will prosper in a safe environment. Within easy reach of several of the country's most renowned colleges and universities, HAA is proud to have on faculty teachers trained, among others, at Westminster Choir College, the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, Mannes College The New School for Music, Berkelee College of Music, and Manhattan School of Music. Many of the HAA instructors are college teachers themselves, serving on the faculty of various colleges and universities in the area.
In its early years, HAA came to be known for its Kindermusik program, which has time and again been ranked by Kindermusik International among the top 1% of all Kindermusik studios worldwide!
More recently, HAA has greatly broadened its focus to provide instruction to students of all ages, and to build a performing arts program that includes music lessons, various ensembles in classical, rock, and pop music, as well as musical theatre classes. Moreover, we now also offer a limited number of art classes each semester. As a noteworthy achievement, in 2008 HAA became the Trinity Guildhall Centre of the northern tier of New Jersey, one of very few such centers across the U.S.
Our students greatly benefit from regular opportunities to present their work in public. Concerts and recitals represent important milestones in the students' artistic and personal development. They are therefore an integral part of their education at HAA.
