Our Story:

Take action on your dreams! Since 1996, Bennett Academy Of The Performing Arts, has created a talented community of musicians and actors from Westchester and Bronx County area. Bennett Academy started in a small dining room, in New Rochelle, with a newly graduated Music Major, award winning classical pianist and singer, Andrea Bennett. Ms. Bennett saw the need for multitalented children to get support in all their talents. Ms. Bennetts academy is the first African American and female owned Performing Arts Academy in southern Westchester. Our school’s success is seen in our students high NYSSMA scores, their performances On and Off Broadway, through our award winning film students and accomplished pop, gospel and R&B artists. We are a school of firsts! In 1996 our small band of five students made historical accomplishments being the first Afro Caribbeans to win The Cultural Heritage Competition in Advanced Piano. We train our students to be successful professionals in the entertainment industry, with our Artist Development and Master Classes. Our Acting students have auditioned and placed in prestigious BFA programs in the top Universities in the country. Actors also learn to successfully master the stage, film, and our musicians, their instrument, theory, and music history. Our students are of all ages, levels, and disciplines.
