Voted "Best Studio on the Main Line" 2002 and
2003!
Here is what our students and
parents are saying...
- My
daughter has been lucky enough to take ballet at Napoli School
of Music and Dance for the past 4 years. We happened upon Napoli
when we moved into the area about 6 years ago and saw the school
was very close to our home. Soon after, we were looking for an
activity for our daughter that would give her both a physical
release as well as help to build her self confidence. After
trying a couple of ballet classes at Napoli, my daughter was
very enthused to continue. I was delighted she had found
something she so enjoyed and she has been with the same ballet
teacher at Napoli ever since. I am confident with the ability
her teacher has to encourage, in a very nurturing way, the
progress of a small group of children, while giving the
necessary attention to each individual child. I am also
confident that my daughter is learning while having fun which is
part of Napoli School’s motto. Napoli School offers small class
sizes allowing each child participating to have full attention
from the teacher. This, I believe also helps to foster a
communication between students which may be both spoken and
unspoken. When the classes perform during the annual recital
this often translates well from the stage. It is clear to me
that Napoli School is dedicated to the happiness and progress of
each childs that walks through the door. The atmosphere
represents a happy co-mingling of co-operation, fun and
learning. From the accommodating office staff to the dedicated
and caring teachers, you are immediately aware that Napoli is a
school where students and their families come first. Happily my
daughter has found a comfortable place to grow outside of home
and traditional school. I would gladly recommend Napoli School
of Music and Dance to anyone interested in the performing arts.

Chris Napoli has
been a teacher, friend, and mentor to my boys for several years.
He has demonstrated in many ways his exceptional aptitude in
music. This talent allowed my children not only to learn how to
play a musical instrument, but to love and appreciate the joy that
having such knowledge could bring. Being a teacher myself, I can
recognize and admire when a teacher “connects” with his students.
Chris clearly communicates this tremendous gift. I applaud him as
an educator and a quality person that genuinely cares for each
child individually. Throughout the years, Chris has had a
tremendous impact on my boys. They have grown to become fully
rounded young men. My older son is a junior at the University of
Pennsylvania and younger is a junior at St. Joe’s Prep. Each plays
the piano and guitar respectively. When they play together, they
make a beautiful duo, which fills our home with music. I am
grateful to Chris because he has touched our lives in such a
special way. I highly recommend the expertise of Chris Napoli and
his staff for your child. You will not be disappointed.
Mrs. Paula Bonavitacola, B.S., M.S. (Teacher at St. John
Neumann) At the ripe old age of 29, I
decided to return to school. Considering my profession, a health
and physical education teacher in Radnor School District, that may
not sound too unusual- except that the school was the Napoli Music
School. I did participate in my Junior High music program fifteen
years ago, but since that time my musical training has been
singing solos in my car. Since starting voice lessons with the
Napoli Music School, I have learned a great deal about breathing
techniques and voice in general. I choose music which I enjoy
singing, therefore making practicing something I look forward to.
I have even had the opportunity to sing in public, which boosted
my confidence and inspired me to continue my weekly lessons. I
would recommend the Napoli Music School to anyone interested in
pursuing music at any age!
Debbie Keyser, B.S.
(Physical Education Teacher-Ithan Elementary School) I studied guitar
at the Napoli
Music School for two years. Their approach to guitar instruction was always
fun, interesting, and challenging, but never intimidating. The
teachers
have a gift with integrating technical and theoretical study with
playing and performing musical styles that are of interest to the
student. Their tremendous ability to listen to a recorded song
and figure it out on guitar within minutes always amazed me! Plus,
it allowed me to always work on music I liked and could therefore
challenge myself to learn it. My teachers were always professional
and their easy-going manner provided a relaxed atmosphere
for learning. I have recommended Napoli Music School to several people (at
various musical abilities) for guitar instruction, as well as
instruction in other instruments, who have all
been very satisfied with the school as well.
