Music is more than a profession. It is a calling. Many dream of success, but few possess the determination needed to achieve it. To be a musician is to devote yourself to constant improvement of technical skills. But technical mastery is no longer enough. The demands on today's professional include a range of skills that would never have been considered necessary in the past - such as computer literacy, knowledge of repertoires beyond the classical Western idiom, and entrepreneurial savvy.

If you have the dream and the determination, Oberlin welcomes you.

The Conservatory of Music welcomes talented music students with demonstrated records of achievement. A clearly defined talent in a performing medium is essential, as is the potential for further growth and development and the dedication required to become a professional musician.
