<p>I’m incoming freshman into Oberlin and I believe you can take instruction from faculty if you are good enough in your audition - like if you audition for an instrument, depending on how good you are you are either placed with a conservatory student or faculty.</p>
<p>Also, there are performance opportunities absolutely, there are certain performing groups that are only open to college students. Performance groups also are mostly audition-based, so I don’t think it really matters whether you’re in college or conservatory :)</p>
