A note from our CEO —
“As the CEO of AOMI, it’s my responsibility to offer places in our program to people who are genuine about studying. We want those with honest intent and realistic expectations. As I’m sure you may be aware, one of the drawbacks of modern society is that it’s become far too easy to misrepresent one’s abilities. Accordingly, our three stage audition process is designed to filter out those who are not prepared for the cut and thrust of the music industry, where success is built on hard work, collegiality, and a willingness to learn from one’s mistakes. I look forward to seeing your application come through and hopefully, working with you in 2023”
