Each fall, the OU chapter of the National Association for Music Education invites high school juniors and seniors to join us for a day at the University of Oklahoma.
This is an opportunity for students to experience a day in the life of a music education major at OU. Students will attend classes and rehearsals and participate in question and answer sessions with students and faculty.
Parents are welcome to attend as well. There will be opportunities for parents of prospective students to meet to address financial aid, housing, and other issues they may have questions about.

Registration ended on Monday, 10/25. In order to facilitate the best possible experience for all participants, late registration is not an option.
