The Community Music School (CMS) of the Oberlin Conservatory seeks to provide students with an exceptional educational and artistic experience while fostering a lifelong appreciation and commitment to excellence in music. The function of the CMS is to promote the broader missions of the Conservatory of Music at Oberlin College: the performance, creation, and study of music at the highest level.

Oberlin is committed to helping students who need assistance to participate in our programs through tuition reduction.

Oberlin Community Music School is grateful for the generous support from the Associated Chamber Music Players, Bill Long Foundation, Nord Family Foundation and the Nordson Corporation.
