How can you say that this school has "one of the finest faculties"? None of the voice faculty have any professional experience. Locally, the school is known for its lackluster shows, which exhibit poor acting and bad direction. On the positive side, there are some good singers at OCU, but it has been resting on its 40 year old laurels. The dance school is the finest part of the university. |
Just read this idiot's response. As a parent with two children who have gone through OUC, allow me to give you something you obviously lack…and education.1) OCU music instructors are all professional working musicians. The voice staff all have Doctorate degrees. OCU has won top honors in the National Collegiate Theatre Competition for the past six years.2) OCU produces some of the finest vocal talent currently on stage. Do the names Kristin Chenoweth, Kelli O'Hara, Ron Raines, and Sarah Coburn ring a bell. If you are, indeed, pursing this industry, then you should know these names. But let's also throw in such other notables as the Metropolitan Opera's legendary Leona Mitchell and SF Opera legend Chris Merritt. Oh, let's not forget Grammy winner Mason Williams. That twice as many as any other "leading" school.3) In 2006, OCU opened the $38 million dollar Bass School of Music, the most technologically up-to-date music school in the nation. It leads the pack so much that other schools like U of Michigan and CCM have come and looked over the facility to see what they can do.In closing, you sound like a bitter person who was rejected from and OCU audition. OCU has high standards and even a higher quality of students. THAT is why they are one of the leading music schools in the nation. Period. |

I'm at the school of music at OCU. If you are serious and ant to persue a professional career in music, you must check out Oklahoma City university. it has one of the finest faculties and a brand new 30 million dolllar music building. As a musical theater major, you get the experience and training that has enabled such theater stars as Kristen Chenoweth and Kelli O'Hara, plus such opera stars as Leona Mitchell, become leaders in the performance industry. If you are a hrad worker and want to achieve your goals, then you needs a place like OCU. if not, i suggest you try some other second rate colleges like Cincinatti Conservatory of Music whom foster a cut throat atmosphere among students and turn out cookie cutter chorus people, not leading performers.OCU offers six major musiclalproductions a year (3 musicals and 3 operas), more than most schools. OCU also trains you to be a musicaian..meaning you're not just a singer. You take three yars of music theory, plus intense training in sighsinging, piano, and conducting. Sure, you think you'll never need all those classes, right? Just remember that when you get donw to the final call backs and they expect you to show your musicianship. Kiss that job goodbye.Oklahoma city University is also cheaper than the other private music schools, plus a huge amount receive music scholarships. If you're serious about music, you must check out Oklahoma City University. www.youatocu.com
