Extra Additions

OAKE Participant Choir: A choir made from Conference Attendees. Rehearsals will not conflict with sessions. The performance is a half-hour choral demonstration with the director. Registration can be submitted at any point leading up to the Conference. Rates will change after the Early Bird rate deadline. 

Printed Session Notes: Spiral-bound booklet containing schedules, maps, & clinician handouts. A small amount of extra session books will be available for purchase on site, on a first come, first serve basis.

Conference Materials: All conference materials will be available for free through our Conference App Guidebook. Any attendee who is pre-registered for the conference will receive conference materials before the conference. 

Is Graduate Credit Offered?

Yes, graduate credit for conference attendance is available from the Kodály Music Institute: https://www.kodalymusicinstitute.org

What is Early Bird Registration?

OAKE offers discounted registration up to the Early Bird deadline. Once that date is passed, registration prices change to the regular rates.
