Study at ASOTA
What does NAME think about the ASOTA experience?
"There is just something in the air that is different. I think that ASOTA, while completely diverse in specialties and interests, really acts like a larger-scale blended family. Not everyone may be directly involved with each other, and it is almost guaranteed that you may not ever learn everyone’s name in the whole school. However, the level of eagerness and care each student and faculty member share for the program definitely shows." – Eric Botto, MM Vocal Performance, 2020
“The connections made while participating in ASOTA have opened doors that I never thought would be an option for me. The professors create an environment that allows you to grow and succeed not only in your field of study, but also in life. Now, I teach others about the importance of music and performing while also performing in the 151st Army National Guard Band.” – John Calcotte, Music Education, 2019
"I now serve as a full-time worship leader and have had the opportunity to travel the world leading others in worship. I chose UM because the opportunity to travel on the weekends and actually lead worship while I was learning was unlike any other school I had visited. Had I not had my time at UM and in Voices of Mobile, I don’t think I would have been ready for the constant change touring brings." – Anna Sailors Pinkham, BS Worship Leadership | 2015
