Why subscribe in middle school?
Early visibility helps colleges discover and track your growth from 7th grade onward—especially for camps and pre-college programs.
What if I'm undecided about majoring in music?
That’s okay! Many scholarships are open to non-majors. Accoladi helps you stay open to those opportunities.
What if I know I’m not majoring in music?
Colleges still offer awards to non-majors who perform in ensembles. Your profile helps you get discovered.
When will colleges reach out?
That depends on your grade level, video content, and overall profile. Some recruiters monitor as early as 7th grade.
What repertoire should I choose?
Start with your preferred school’s list. Use your All-State list and Accoladi's suggestions to strengthen your profile.
Can I view other student profiles?
No. Only verified college recruiters can view student profiles to maintain privacy and security.
Is there a limit to how many colleges I can connect with?
No—students can engage with as many schools as they wish.
Is a live audition still required?
Yes, most schools require a final live audition. But a video helps you get noticed early in the process.
Do I need a professional video?
No. A clear video filmed on a smartphone is perfectly acceptable if it captures quality sound and visuals.
Can I update my video audition?
Yes. You can update your video or profile anytime to reflect your best work.
