While the organ can lay no claim to sovereignty at Oberlin, it nevertheless has occupied a very prominent place in our musical life. You can find out about the superb and varied array of instruments that make up the organ collection on campus by visiting the Organ home page. Oberlin organ students over the years have enjoyed not only this great asset but also the stimulation of a very talented group of peers. As you can well imagine, Oberlin provides a very special and exciting environment in which to teach and learn. It has been a source of enormous satisfaction to me to see several generations of our graduates succeed and take on prominent leadership roles in the profession as church musicians, recitalists, and teachers."
