About
Welcome to Que the Music Performing Arts Academy!
Founded in 2016 by QuQu Smith with a small group of dedicated students, Que the Music Performing Arts Academy has flourished into a thriving community dedicated to nurturing musical talent and fostering a love for the arts.
From our modest beginnings, we have journeyed through various stages of growth and exploration, culminating in unforgettable performances at renowned venues such as Carnegie Hall. These milestones have not only showcased the exceptional talent of our students but also served as a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence in music education.
At Que the Music, we believe that music is a universal language that has the power to inspire, uplift, and unite. Through captivating community productions and events, we strive to share the joy of music with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. From intimate recitals to full-scale musical productions, each performance is a celebration of creativity, passion, and dedication.
I founded Que the Music Performing Arts Academy out of a deep-seated belief that traditional music education often overlooks the unique needs and talents of gifted and passionate students. Witnessing the limitations of conventional music programs, I recognized a need for a more inclusive and personalized approach to musical instruction—one that embraces diversity, fosters creativity, and celebrates individuality.
Driven by this vision, we have expanded our offerings to encompass a wide range of artistic disciplines, including dance, acting, music production, and more. As we continue to evolve, we are proud to announce our transition into a full-fledged performing arts school, offering comprehensive training and resources to aspiring artists of all ages and backgrounds.
Our dedicated team of instructors brings a wealth of experience and expertise to every lesson, guiding students on a transformative journey of self-discovery and artistic growth. Whether they are exploring the intricacies of vocal performance, mastering the techniques of dance, or honing their skills in music production, our students are empowered to unleash their creativity and pursue their passions with confidence and conviction.
At Que the Music Performing Arts Academy, we are more than just a school—we are a vibrant community united by a shared love for the arts and a commitment to artistic excellence. Join us as we embark on this exciting new chapter, and together, let's Que the Music!
