The Institute For The Performing Arts

Darnell and Liana ...I have never seen more passionate people who love what they do and it shows in their dedication to their students as it always brings out the best in them...Kudo's them for being great.

TIFTPA is one of the finest performing arts training programs in the region. It is rare to find faculty who understand young people's challenges and know how to coach them compassionately to help them deliver consistent, high-quality performances. So it's no accident that American Idol finalist, Nicolina Buzzo, emerged from the training she received under the direction of TIFTPA's instructors.Lola Rasminsky, CM,Founder, Arts Access Fund

Darnell & Liana have always been welcoming, knowledgeable, professional and supportive. These two are truly the dynamic duo. Everyone who is fortunate enough to know and work with them knows that Darnell and Liana have worked very hard to create a special environment and experience for the arts community. I have witnessed first hand that they have nurtured and played an integral part in the development and growth for many youth. Anyone interested in experiencing and benefiting from a complete artistic and creative journey should consider becoming a member of the TIFTPA family. You will immediately know that you are making one of the best choices.Wishing TIFTPA well deserved continued success.
