Page Content The Instrumental Music Conservatory
seeks to prepare traditional musicians for life as a college music
major. Students who play traditional band and orchestra instruments
(including piano, classical guitar and harp) and read music
proficiently may enter this course of study. The focus is on the
individual musical development of each student toward their highest
artistic potential. Students perform regularly as soloists, in chamber
ensembles and in the spring, in SOTA’s large Symphonic Orchestra.
Additionally, students take courses in Music History, Music Theory and
Composition and various music electives.
Over the course of four years at SOTA, an instumental music conservatory student would take the following courses in Music:
4 semesters of Chamber Ensembles, where you'll be placed into a small ensemble where each student plays "one-to-a-part".
4 Semesters of Large Ensemble Symphonic Orchestra, where you'll be
performing standards of the literature as well as exciting modern
works. We regularly program the highest level of exciting,
sophisticated music.
1 Semester of Recital in which you'll perform as a soloist, the ultimate musical risk!
3 Semesters of Music Theory and Composition where you'll learn music
theory at the college level. SOTA graduates almost always pass out of
the first levels of music theory courses in college as a result of
their studies at SOTA.
1 Semester of Music History where you'll learn about the most important trends and composers from 800 A.D. to the present.
Overall, our program is designed to accelerate your musical
development, to make you the best musician as quickly as possible. Our
students go on to be outstanding musicians in college and music
conservatories and often gain scholarships whether they choose to major
in music or not.
