We offer School of the Arts Audition Preparation
School of the Arts offers students creative and artistic opportunities in the areas of Communication Arts, Dance, Band, Piano/Keyboard, Orchestral Strings, Vocal, Theatre and Visual Arts. The school’s curriculum challenges students to achieve a high standard of artistic professionalism and academic excellence.
In order to be eligible for admission, students must submit an application to the Palm Beach County School District’s Department of Choice Programs AND successfully audition for one of the school’s art programs.
Auditions application deadlines are in December. Auditions take place January and February. We can help your child have the best audition possible by preparing them with all the tools needed with plenty of time to practice the tools and feel comfortable. Starting the summer before their 5th grade or 8th grade year is ideal. Participating in the Masterclasses is a great way to get those nerves out and have an awesome audition.

Audition Preparatory Masterclass and Mock Audition.
School of the Arts Audition Preparatory Masterclass will be held December 4, 2022.
We recommend all students take private lessons in order to prepare for their audition. However, we also provide a masterclass taught in a group setting where students will gain all the confidence needed to have a successful audition. We will discuss all the elements of the audition in detail as well as give each student the opportunity to perform their memorized song in a masterclass setting and gain control of nerves. This workshop has proven to be extremely successful every year!!
In January, we will hold mock auditions that are open to everyone. Mock auditions will be very similar to the real auditions and you will receive your results along with comments as soon as you’re done. You must sign up for a time slot by contacting us.
