Make Some Noise

Students support each other both musically and personally, thriving in an environment that’s positive, energetic, and full of fun. Here, students are encouraged to take risks, embrace mistakes (LOUD ones!), and grow as artists while exploring their love for music.


HOME OF THE

Contemporary Performance Lab

An ensemble spanning genres from jazz and pop to rock, hip-hop, and country—basically New Hampton's own garage band. CPL offers two sections for different skill levels:

Developmental CPL - for younger or less experienced musicians to build confidence and foundational skills.

Advanced CPL - which challenges skilled students with rigorous repertoire, songwriting, performances, and a professional recording session.

 

Private Lessons

At New Hampton School, private music lessons help students develop their skills on instruments like guitar, bass, drums, piano, voice, and violin, with lessons also available for brass and woodwinds. Tailored to each student’s schedule, these lessons culminate in the annual music showcase, where students share their growth, creativity, and passion for music.

Musical Theatre

Students with a passion for music also have the opportunity to showcase their talents in New Hampton School’s annual musicals. These performances allow students to sing, play, and sometimes even help with choreography or instrumental accompaniment, gaining valuable stage experience while contributing to a collaborative, high-energy production. Learn more about our Theatre Department.

 

I teach for the moments when students take a significant risk. Seeing them light up the stage, proud and accomplished—that is the power of an arts education.
