4岁时，嘎嘎开始学习钢琴，她的母亲坚持要她成为“一个有文化的年轻女士”，童年时的她一直在学习演奏乐器。这些课程教会她用耳朵创作音乐，让她学会阅读乐谱并且能专业练习，她的父母都鼓励她去追求音乐，并让她参加创意艺术营{{sfn|Johnson|2012|p=20}}。青少年时期时，在一个几乎是男生的高中里，她曾在校园晚会上演出，她出演了话剧《{{Le|红男绿女 (音乐剧)|Guys and Dolls|红男绿女}}》中的主角阿德莱德和《{{Le|春光满古城|A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum}}》的主角菲利娅{{sfn|Johnson|2012|p=26}}<ref name="growingupgaga2">{{cite magazine|first=Vanessa|last=Grigoriadis|authorlink=Vanessa Grigoriadis|title=Growing Up Gaga|date=2010-03-28|url=http://nymag.com/arts/popmusic/features/65127|magazine=[[紐約 (雜誌)|New York]]|accessdate=2010-03-29|deadurl=no|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100401055337/http://nymag.com/arts/popmusic/features/65127/|archivedate=2010-04-01}}</ref>。后来，她在{{Le|李·斯特拉斯伯格戏剧和电影学院|Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute}}学习了十年的[[方法演技|表演技巧]]<ref name="leestrasburgalumna">{{cite web|url=http://newyork.methodactingstrasberg.com/blog/lstfi-alumna-lady-gaga-taps-into-the-lee-strasberg-method/|title=LSTFI Alum Lady Gaga taps into The Lee Strasberg Method|accessdate=2016-01-07|date=2015-10-12|publisher={{tsl|en|Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute||Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute}}|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160127031815/http://newyork.methodactingstrasberg.com/blog/lstfi-alumna-lady-gaga-taps-into-the-lee-strasberg-method/|archivedate=2016-01-27|last1=Manelis|first1=Michele|deadurl=yes}}</ref>。嘎嘎虽然在纽约的演出试镜中落选，但她在2001年的播出的电视剧《[[黑道家族]]》中《{{Le|The Telltale Moozadell|The Telltale Moozadell}}》一集里出演了小角色高中生{{sfn|Morgan|2010|page=27}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ew.com/article/2010/10/11/lady-gaga-sopranos-cameo/|title=Lady Gaga fans discover her pre-fame 'Sopranos' cameo|accessdate=2017-11-22|date=2010-10-11|last=Blauvelt|first=Christian|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151108115908/http://www.ew.com/article/2010/10/11/lady-gaga-sopranos-cameo|archivedate=2015-11-08|magazine=[[娱乐周刊|Entertainment Weekly]]|deadurl=no}}</ref>。后来，她倾向于发展音乐事业，她对此谈道：

{{quote|“我不确切地知道我对音乐的感知能力来自哪里，但这对我来说是最容易的。 当我3岁或者更幼小的时候，我的妈妈总是告诉我这个非常尴尬的故事让我坚持弹奏钢琴，因为我太幼小而且不够高，所以一直无法掌控每一个地方，就比如钢琴的音最低的那端......我真的非常擅长钢琴，所以我的第一兴趣是努力练习钢琴，我可能不是天生的舞者，但我是天生的音乐家。 这就是我认为我最擅长的事情
