ABOUT HARBORLIGHT MUSIC ACADEMY
Inspiring Excellence Through Music
Welcome to Harborlight Music Academy
Harborlight Music Academy is a music education center dedicated to helping students discover their musical potential, develop confidence, and experience the joy of making music.
Located in Nuuuli, American Samoa, Harborlight provides music instruction in a supportive and encouraging environment where students of all ages and skill levels can learn, grow, and excel.
From beginning students taking their first music lesson to advanced students preparing for performances, Harborlight is committed to developing not only musicians, but confident, disciplined, creative, and well-rounded individuals.
OUR STORY
Harborlight Music Academy began with a simple vision: to make quality music education accessible to the community while inspiring students to discover what they can accomplish through music.
What began as a piano-focused program has grown into a broader music academy offering instruction in piano, voice, violin, guitar, ukulele, trumpet, saxophone, percussion, music theory, and choir.
Through lessons, ensembles, choir programs, recitals, community performances, and special music experiences, Harborlight continues to create opportunities for students to learn music and share their talents with others.
Our goal is not simply to teach students how to play an instrument. We want to help them develop a lifelong appreciation for music.
OUR MISSION
To provide quality music education that inspires students to learn, grow, perform, and achieve excellence through music.
We believe music education can develop much more than musical ability. It can strengthen discipline, creativity, confidence, communication, teamwork, leadership, and perseverance.
OUR VISION
To become a leading center for music education and performance in American Samoa, inspiring generations of students to pursue excellence through music.
We envision a community where every young person has the opportunity to discover their musical gifts and experience the transformative power of music.
