Horn
Study in our horn program is both intense and stimulating. Our individualized instruction, private lessons, master classes, and performance opportunities support the development of technique and musicianship.
Performance Opportunities
Oberlin sponsors approximately 500 concerts on campus each year, including recitals and concerts by the more than 25 student ensembles. From jazz to contemporary guitar, classical to popular, computer-generated to acoustic, and from time-tested compositions to newer works, the college and conservatory present performances to satisfy any musical interest. At the Oberlin Conservatory, you will play in ensembles of all types and sizes, beginning with your first semester on campus.
Horn Faculty
Professor of Horn Roland Pandolfi has extensive experience as an orchestral, solo, and chamber musician. He was principal horn of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra for 35 years, where his solo performances with the St. Louis Symphony include concertos of Mozart, Haydn, Strauss, Bernard Heiden, and the Britten Serenade for tenor, horn, and strings. His success as a teacher is apparent from the overwhelming success of his students, who have won positions in internationally acclaimed orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and the Cincinnati Symphony.
