Performance

Performance majors may earn the BM, MM, and DMA degrees, preparing them for employment in orchestras and chamber groups and commercial music as well as in private teaching and teaching in higher education. Each of these degrees draws on the resources of a distinguished academic music department and a major university as well as on an extraordinary faculty of string artists.

String majors gain extensive performance experience with the Symphony Orchestra and the active chamber music program coached by the string faculty.

In addition to generous undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and teaching associate positions, OSU string majors have access to a small collection of fine string instruments for their use while enrolled.
