Application Process

Apply to the University of Mobile before auditioning

ASOTA application materials are due two weeks before the selected audition date

Music Placement

Incoming music majors complete a theory placement exam before course registration

The exam determines the starting theory course; it is not an admission audition

What's The Process

Audition Format

On-campus auditions are encouraged; most areas also accept a recorded audition

Select a published date in the ASOTA application or choose Private Audition to request an alternate date

Recorded Audition

Upload YouTube or Vimeo links through the ASOTA application

Videos may be public or unlisted, but not private

Audio-only submissions are not accepted

Record one continuous, unedited take and begin by stating your name and introducing the selections

Awards up to $25,000 annually

Based on university admission, ASOTA acceptance, and audition or interview
