音乐 Opportunities in the 艺术学院 & 科学
When you combine music and the broader liberal arts, amazing things can happen.
Taking Classes in the 音乐学院
You can be a serious musician in the 艺术学院 and 科学. 在一个典型的学期里, more than 300 arts and sciences students enroll for credit in conservatory classes. Many of these classes are open to all students; while some, such as music theory and aural skills, 要求进行安置测试.

非凡的表现
You might already know about the incredible number of concerts on campus: faculty 执行ances, 学生演出, 乐团音乐会, and visiting artists like opera superstar Joyce DiDonato, jazz legend Terence Blanchard, and Grammy-winning Apollo’s Fire. But did you know that the Office of Student 领导 and Involvement and other groups also bring 执行ers to campus?
Recent 执行ers include Lizzo, Maxo Kream & UNiiQU3, Snail Mail, Haley Heynderickx, Ari Lennox, Madison McFerrin, Mwenso & shake和Lucki.

齿轮和空间
Before you start rehearsing for Battle of the Bands at the ’Sco, you should check out the Gear Co-op in Wilder 404. This student-run organization aims to provide the space, 设备, and educational resources needed to allow anyone to practice, 执行, and record whatever they please.
If all you really need is a quiet space with good acoustics and perhaps a Steinway piano, any Oberlin student can use the practice rooms in the 音乐学院 – you don't need permission or a key.

Collaboration plays a fundamental role in the community’s constant appetite for great art. This inclusivity is indicative of the communal Oberlin personality that makes it such an incredible place.

After Oberlin: 校友 in 音乐
和大多数字段一样, Oberlin 校友—from both the college and the conservatory—have done great things in the music business. Performers such as Josh Ritter, 莉斯菲尔, 里安农吉登斯, 阿克伦, 克里斯·埃尔德里奇, 海滨别墅, and Deerhoof once called Oberlin home.
What's more, many of them like to come back and 执行.
