The Accent Is on You!

Otterbein College's Department of Music offers five Bachelor degree programs, as well as the ability to create an individualized major, and a Music minor.

Our Mission

The Department of Music strives to develop professional musical competencies, as well as a deep appreciation of music, that you can later utilize in music careers or a life-long enjoyment of the art. The Department also strives to foster a community of musicians who care about music for the aesthetic and affective richness that it brings to the world, and conversely, who value their knowledge of the world and its relationship to music.

Sharpen Your Skills

We offer a variety of performance opportunities to enhance your academic work in the classroom. From a full complement of bands to choirs and orchestras, you can find any number of ensembles to fit your musical goals. Our ensembles have toured internationally, have performed at regional and national conferences, and are open to all students.
