Every moment you spend with your students is a valuable teaching moment. As you passionately share your love for music, you go beyond teaching performance skills, musical interpretation, and composition techniques. You are demonstrating a life dedicated to the transformative power of music in the lives of creative individuals. You showcase the beauty of intentional collaboration and exemplify visionary and mission-driven leadership. Through your role as a teacher and performer, whether playing, singing, or conducting, you inspire your students to aspire to the same level of dedication.

We understand that reaching the professional level you have achieved as a music educator, or any other level of professionalism in music, requires a systematic approach. One crucial step on this path is acquiring a college education. Becoming a music major follows a unique journey, and navigating that path can sometimes feel practical, while at other times, it may seem mysterious. At Accoladi, we have made it our mission to demystify the process of audition preparedness, college selection, application competitiveness, and audition execution.
