Not only can Billy sing the lights out, but he and his team of musical gurus can teach you how to as well. Keep up the great work!
We cant say enough about the staff and culture at New Haven Academy of Performing Arts. Since the first day we stepped foot in there we have always felt like family. This type of environment has allowed our son to discover the creativity in him and the confidence to express it on stage and in life. We are extremely greatful for all they do for our son daily and would highly recommend NHAOPA to anyone entertaining enrolling there child here.
E (2017) and A (2018) have grown so much in this program. They are now singing, acting, playing the piano, and dancing. Their movements are elegant. Their confidence in all activities has increased in ways I could never imagine. I love to see the excitement in their faces when it is time to go to class. The teachers hold them accountable for the skillsets they are learning as well as how they are doing in school academically. They enjoy their life long friends as well. What a wonderful place for my children to grow, learn, and become role models and leaders. I appreciate the safety precautions that are in place to keep this small business open during Covid. My children needed this home away from home and we are thankful. ❤️❤️❤️
All the summer shows were fabulous. New Haven Academy of Performing Arts (NHAOPA) is a home away from home. My daughter truly love all aspects of the program. I am amazed at how my children have grown and how the confidence has grown in every student. The teachers and students are so supportive of each other. NHAOPA is truly a part of our family!!
Lily performed at cocktail hour event and her vocals and guitar performance were amazing! She was extremely flexible and easy to work with. I highly recommend Lily for all your entertaining needs!

Went to buy spackle supplies. They had a ton of staff members throughout the store so it was very easy for me to ask for help to find the aisles I needed. Was in and out in under 15 mins. Definitely would have spent longer if I had gone to a bigger store where it’s difficult to track down even a single staff member.
Everyone there is so knowledgeable.
Great service. I purchased a grille yesterday morning and they delivered it that afternoon. The delivery man fully explained the operation and features. Then he took the old one. Great service and great people. Thanks
Love the store they have everything and then some. It looks like a smaller neighborhood store from the outside, but they are truly a full-service hardware store. Mostly very helpful. Sometimes the men in the store can be a little gruff, but otherwise friendly enough. They get the job done.
The things I needed ,they had
They didn’t have what I was looking for. N7t a very nice sales associate directed me to another place that may have what I was looking for. Unfortunately they didn’t have it either but nice try
Worst customer treatment I have ever experienced, used to go there once or twice a month and pick up things I needed but I haven’t set foot in there in years. I’d rather spend my money where my business is appreciated. Very rude treatment from the manager/owner, worse than the help. You won’t see any minorities there either. Highest prices around too, they should retire, gotta have enough $ by now !
Rude
Just terrible. You want to go to places like this but the lady at counter should not be dealing with customers. Just straight up mean for no reason at all. As I was leaving to take my business elsewhere, the customer that was just leaving was complaining about her as well. Replacing her at the register would be a good idea.
5. Melody Music Studios (Music Lessons In-Home or Studio)
Love this store!!! Every person in each department has an expert level knowledge of the equipment they are selling. If they do not know the answer to a question, they jump online to look into it further. If that doesn’t work, then they will contact the company representative to get you the information you need. Also, they are willing to work with you on price. I highly recommend going to them first over the online companies or Guitar Center. They also have a wonderful store brand of instruments that marries low cost and high quality. I myself travel from East Hartford, CT to this Sam Ash store in New Haven, because they are the best!
Great store in terms of product range and also staff! Always good to visit them, learn more about products and especially the application of it versus our needs
The fellows know what they say by experience. Personable and friendly.
The people there are very polite and friendly, you can ask questions and they let you try the instrument without annoying you trying to sell.
I brought in my Takamine Acoustic Guitar in for a repair and Sam Ash honored a 20 year-old Lifetime warranty. The current luthier, Austin, is GREAT. He fixed my nut and bridge, making the guitar in better shape than it was when I brought it in.
The reason I am giving 4 stars and not 5, is because I was also told that the warranty SHOULD have covered my repairs when I originally brought the guitar in for a repair 15 years ago, but was told back then that the repairs WEREN’T covered. The lack of repair for 15 years actually caused permanent damage to the guitar that is unrepairable. It is unfortunate, because if they had actually taken responsibility for the repair when I originally brought the guitar in, the damage would most likely not have been permanent.
If you get anything on credit make sure the clerk writes down everything correctly. He wrote my birthday wrong and now the app to make payments won’t work unless I fax them a copy of my license. Forget it.

I was on hold FOREVER, and it was super annoying.
Used to be a great place to go browse.. now it’s like walking onto a used car lot.. within ten minutes I had 6 people asking if they could show me anything, one guy asking me twice.. I was only planning on buying a guitar stand, but was so annoyed I went elsewhere….

Mr. Chapin is very passionate for his job. I have trusted him my violin for over a year and he always have done a very professional job.
His store is a colorful dream! House of a variety of violins, violas, cellos ,and bows.
He is also very kind and will guide you in what you need.
Thank you so much Mr. Chapin. I wish you the best!
Siboney Music
Very knowledgeable owner. And super nice. I don’t know much about music. We went to his shop to get a replacement cello bow for my son. We are very impressed by his service. Highly recommend!!!
Great work fixing my cello! Really helpful explanations and communication, timely repairs and excellent workmanship. Would 100% recommend.
Nice shop. Repairing cost seemed reasonable.
We found Kevin Chapin’s violin shop because my daughter really needs a set of new violin strings before her senior recital. I visited his workshop, which is amazing, and got the strings. Kevin was really helpful describing the difference between the strings that were available. He is very skilled and knowledgable.
