Performing arts in college isn’t just about performing; it should be about everything.
The academics. The performances. The environment.
Choosing the right school shouldn’t require sacrificing any of those things.
From the classroom to the stage.
At ASOTA, students learn from world-class professors who are the best of the best. They bring decades of experience, ensuring their students are equipped as experts when they graduate. With a 14:1 student ratio, our students are known by the faculty and staff who lead them.
On the Stage
But it’s not just about the classroom; we think successful artists should hone their craft on stage, too. That’s why we have a wide range of ensembles and concerts each year, giving students the chance to spend more time on stage than anywhere else.
Whether you are a future student, parent, or community family, we invite you to join us at an upcoming performance.
It All Starts with an Audition.
