<p>I have a son who is in both the con and the college, in the double degree program. I think it is not that easy to study formally under a con professor as a student from the college. We found this to be true most the places we looked that had strong music programs or conservatories. On the other hand, Oberlin has a vibrant musical scene with many ensembles, formal and non, and an incredible number of performances to choose from, especially for such a small place. I think a significant portion of college students are involved in music in one way or another. So it might be the ideal place for a non-music major to stay involved in music.</p>
