Created for You, the Music Educator

At Accoladi, we partner with you—the music educator. We see your heart. We recognize your effort. And we understand the daily demands that come with being both a classroom teacher and a life-shaping mentor.

Your schedule is already packed with rehearsals, performances, and instruction—yet somehow, you also prepare students for All-State auditions, Solo and Ensemble Festivals, spring musicals, concerto competitions, summer camps, and collegiate auditions. Often, you’re asked to wear the hats of college audition coach, music theory tutor, scholarship advisor, application editor, and even accompanist.

That’s where Accoladi steps in.

We’re not pianists, but we are your partner—and your students' guide. Whether your performers plan to major in music or simply carry their passion forward into the military, college as a non-music major, or career, Accoladi helps ease your burden while equipping families for success.

How We Support Students and Families

  • Step-by-step college guidance — beginning in middle school and continuing through senior year
  • Audition preparation tools — to help students stand out to college recruiters
  • A secure, professional platform — where students can showcase their talent, achievements, and goals
  • Access to overlooked scholarships — both institutional and non-institutional, including many families may not find on their own

From marching band to jazz combo, musical theatre to show choir, classical voice to songwriting—we support every path. Our mission: to ensure every student is noticed, accepted, and funded.

For Parents: They Don’t Have to Depend on You for Their Only Support

Accoladi equips families with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to take a more active role in their student’s journey—lightening your load while empowering them to lead.

We help parents:

  • Understand timelines for auditions and applications
  • Identify scholarship opportunities early
  • Track progress through a secure dashboard
  • Connect directly with real college faculty and recruiters

We begin mentoring students and families in middle school—because early preparation opens doors.

For Music Educators: You’re No Longer Alone

AccoladiTeacher.com is designed to stand with you—not just in theory, but in action.

We provide:

  • Classroom-ready “Teaching Moments” — short articles with clear objectives and student assignments, helping you integrate college preparation directly into your curriculum (for both middle and high school)
  • Prewritten parent blogs — thoughtful, ready-to-send messages that reference exclusive Accoladi articles, helping you show families that you're not only guiding their student, but also standing beside them in the journey—offering care, insight, and support every step of the way. These messages are tailored for both middle and high school levels and are age-appropriate and aligned with each student’s musical proficiency.
  • Stronger parent partnerships — as families recognize your leadership and feel supported by your proactive communication
  • Retention-focused strategies — many of our tools help students stay committed to their musical journey through graduation, reinforcing long-term engagement and pride in your program

We Make Introductions That Change Lives

With relationships across more than 35,000 college and military music professionals, we actively promote your student performers to decision-makers: deans, professors, directors, and recruiters. We don’t just offer information—we create access.

PARTNERSHIP

We understand that when educators and recruiters work together, students are empowered to pursue their dreams with clarity and confidence. Our tools are designed to strengthen these connections and streamline the path from classroom to the college stage. That’s why we’ve created dedicated platforms to support each of these essential partners.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

At Accoladi, we are committed to making higher education in the performing arts accessible, inclusive, and welcoming to all. We believe that every student—regardless of their background or identity—deserves the opportunity to be seen, heard, and supported on their artistic, collegiate, or military journey.

Our platform is designed to be a secure and affirming space for performers of all races, ethnicities, nationalities, gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, faiths, income levels, abilities, and ages. We are continually listening, learning, and adapting—not just to be inclusive, but to actively celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community of student performing artists and parents and educators who support them.

Because talent knows no boundaries—and neither should opportunity.
