Oberlin Conservatory of Music is the only major music school in the country that focuses on undergraduate education. Oberlin's seamless campus is shared with a preeminent liberal arts college that supports a renowned double-degree program proven to open a world of professional possibilities. The conservatory offers the essential components of world-class musical training: an outstanding faculty of teacher-performers who remain accessible and committed mentors, the best facilities available, a dynamic curriculum, and a vibrant cultural life. Students also benefit from regular exposure to resident and guest artists, and countless opportunities to perform on campus and beyond.

We recommend visiting during a time when we are in session to better experience what being an Oberlin student is all about. Visiting students are encouraged to attend rehearsals and classes, meet with faculty, and register for information sessions and tours. Close mentoring relationships are a cornerstone of our conservatory experience. We encourage you to contact a professor or faculty member in your area of interest prior to your arrival to schedule a lesson or a meeting. You can find more information about prospective student visits here.
