LAAPA School of Music & Dance - Covington

We operate LAAPA School of Music & Dance - Covington as a comprehensive training destination for music and dance education, welcoming more than 200 students from throughout the Northshore, including Bush, Folsom, Franklinton, Hammond, Madisonville, Mandeville, and Slidell, Louisiana. Our reach also extends to committed students who travel from Mississippi communities such as Carriere, Picayune, and Gulfport. The school is situated in historic downtown Covington, and our newly opened, state-of-the-art campus on Highway 437 provides modern facilities, including multiple music studios, a dedicated dance studio equipped with a floating Marley floor, and a 100-seat performance theater intended for student presentations and performances.

Enrollment at our school is designed to offer flexibility and breadth, allowing students to attend either online or in person while accessing the largest variety of music programs in the area. Instruction is led by university-trained faculty who are dedicated to teaching excellence. We maintain carefully sanitized studios and equipment between each class, supported by hospital-grade HVAC systems using Global Plasma Solutions and Nu-Calgon technology, consistent with standards found in leading institutions such as Harvard University and various government facilities. We accommodate learners from beginner through advanced levels, serving both children and adults. Additional benefits include makeup workshops for missed lessons, weekly 45-minute music theory classes at no extra charge, an annual complimentary studio recording session, an in-house educational printing press producing faculty-developed methods, and optional performance opportunities for all students.
