Choosing the right school shouldn’t require sacrificing any of those things.
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.
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.
100% of ASOTA students who audition and enroll receive scholarships. Fill out the interest form today to begin and schedule your audition.
