General Information
George Peabody believed in the power
of the artist to open the minds and enrich
the lives of others. The Peabody Institute,
which he founded in 1857, is the practical
embodiment of this belief. From its begin-
nings, it has brought together a commu-
nity of artists, teachers, and scholars to
train other artists and to spread, by their
precept and example, an understanding of
what the arts can do to uplift the quality
of human life.
Today, the Peabody Institute concen-
trates primarily upon music. Through
its constituent divisions, the Preparatory
and the Conservatory, it trains musi-
cians of every age and at every level, from
small children to seasoned professionals,
from dedicated amateurs to winners of
international competitions. It challenges
all its students to aspire to their highest
potential as artists and human beings. It
seeks to promote a respect for music as a
discipline of the mind and spirit, a joyful
affirmation of life, and a passionate com-
mitment to an ideal. By connecting its
students with the great traditions of the
past, Peabody gives them the key with
which to unlock the future.
The Peabody Conservatory strives to
provide aspiring artists with the skills to
pursue professional careers in music as well
as with the education to become leaders in
the cultural life of their communities.
Peabody Conservatory has become an
acknowledged leader in the cultural life of
Maryland and has built a reputation that
is truly international. As a division of The
Johns Hopkins University, Peabody takes
its place beside the university’s other world-
famous centers of research and learning in
the sciences, humanities, and medicine,
poised to define the con­tribution of music
in our lives in the 21st century.
Among the leading musicians who have
served on the Peabody faculty are compos-
ers Henry Cowell, Elliott Carter, Peter
Mennin, Ernst Krenek, Benjamin Lees,
Earle Brown, and Hugo Weisgall; violin-

ists William Kroll, Louis Persinger, Oscar
Shumsky, and Roman Totenberg; cellists
Aldo Parisot and Zara Nelsova; pianists
Harold Bauer, Ernest Hutcheson, Mieczy-
slaw Munz, Reginald Stewart, and Erno
Balogh; scholars Nadia Boulanger, Otto
Ortmann, and Nicolas Slonimsky.
The Conservatory’s present faculty is
in the same distinguished tradition, and
includes prizewinners in the Moscow
Tchaikovsky Competition, Queen Elisa-
beth of Belgium Competition, the ASCAP
Deems Taylor Awards, as well as Guggen-
heim fellows and Fulbright grantees.
Peabody’s teachers and alumni appear as
soloists and recitalists across the country
and around the world, conduct workshops,
lecture in colleges and universities, make
recordings, and serve as jurists for interna-
tional competitions from Texas to Tokyo,
from Brussels to Moscow. Near and far,
its graduates are active in orchestras, in
arts organizations, and as teachers at all
levels from precollege through postgradu-
ate education. Among its most illustrious
alumni are pianist Andre Watts, vocal-
ists James Morris and Richard Cassilly of
the Metropolitan Opera, and the Pulit-
zer Prize–winning composer Dominick
Argento. The Peabody Conservatory of
Music is accredited by the National Asso-
ciation of Schools of Music and, as a divi-
sion of The Johns Hopkins University, by
the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education, 3624 Market St., Philadelphia,
PA 19104-2680; 215-662-5606.
The Preparatory
Founded in 1894, the Peabody Prepara-
tory is the pre-college complement to the
Peabody Conservatory. Like the Conserva-
tory, the Preparatory also has a dual mis-
sion: to provide a broad-based performing
arts education to all who are desirous of
high quality performing arts study and
to provide an accelerated curriculum for
talented pre-professional musicians and
dancers.
 With a student body of approximately
2,000, ranging in age from 2 months
to 83 years, the Preparatory also spans a
wide geographical area including a main
campus downtown and several satellite
branches throughout the Greater Balti-
more region. The curriculum in Early
Childhood, Music, Dance, and Adult
Education has been developed to provide
a solid instructional base while allowing
for each student to develop his or her full
potential. In addition to a wide range of
courses, the school offers a rigorous pre-
conservatory program and graduated levels
of performance opportunities. The student
body of the Preparatory is as diverse as its
curriculum, ranging from pre-school chil-
dren and their families to high school and
adult students. The Preparatory provides
a special environment for learning about
the arts, supporting students with special
talents and fostering a love of music and
dance.
The Campus
As the first music conservatory estab-
lished in America, the Peabody Institute
occupies a cherished historic structure on
Mt. Vernon Place, the cultural heart of
Baltimore. More than a hundred years of
sustained growth has resulted in expansion
throughout the entire city block with two
delightful garden courtyards in its center.
Peabody’s architecture is a fascinating mix
from Renaissance Revival to contemporary
style.
The original Conservatory and Peabody
Library buildings face Mt. Vernon Place
and are two of the city’s foremost architec-
tural landmarks. The Conservatory build-
ing was completed in 1866. The library
building, completed in 1878, is famed for
its tiered cast-iron balconies and spectacu-
lar open space. It is acknowledged to be
the masterpiece of the American architect
Edmund G. Lind, and served as a model
for the domed main reading room of the
Library of Congress in Washington.
Adjoining the library building is Leakin
Hall, built in 1927, which serves as the
headquarters of the Institute’s Preparatory
10
department and contains studios for the
use of both Conservatory and Preparatory
faculty.
The Arthur Friedheim Library and aca-
demic facility opened during the 1989–90
academic year. This handsome structure is
fully integrated physically and architectur-
ally within the Peabody block and is inter-
connected on each floor with Leakin Hall.
The facility houses acoustically pleasing
practice rooms, a two-floor media center
with greatly expanded space for the music
and audio-visual library, a bright student
lounge for quiet study and relaxation, and
three large fully equipped dance studios.
The Offices of the Institute’s Director,
Conservatory Dean, Associate Dean for
Academic Affairs, and Registrar are also
located in this building or in Leakin Hall.
The campus is bounded on the south
by the residence hall-cafeteria-garage
complex, a modern structure designed by
Edward Durrell Stone, architect of the
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
in Washington. There is direct access from
the complex to the Conservatory building
and to Leakin Hall. Some of Peabody’s
administrative offices are located in Scha­
piro House, a mid-19th-century town-
house facing North Charles Street.
The Peabody Inn is the restored Mt.
Vernon Place townhouse complex that
has become the home for the Peabody
Elderhostel program. Peabody’s program,
which is among the most popular in the
country’s extensive Elderhostel network
of lifelong learning vacations for senior
citizens, features music classes and the rich
performance offerings given daily by Pea-
body students and faculty.
In spring 2004, the Peabody Institute
completed a $26.8 million major con-
struction project that has fundamentally
restored and enhanced its campus, inte-
grating the historic 19th-century build-
ings into a harmonious whole.
A Grand Arcade cascades down from
the main entrance at 17 East Mt. Vernon
Place to the Peabody Plaza. Its graceful
staircase provides an elegant counterpoint
to the original famed circular stairway.
Often called Peabody’s new “Main Street,”
the Grand Arcade wraps round the Mir-
iam A. Friedberg Concert Hall to create
an extended lobby and gathering place.
A sky-lighted roof fills the space with
natural light during the day and creates a
dramatic backdrop during the evening.
The Bank of America Mews Gallery to
one side of the Grand Arcade is a venue
for exhibitions drawn from Peabody’s own
rich Archives and other sources. Adjacent
to the Grand Arcade is East Hall, recon-
structed to supply a dedicated rehearsal
and recording space for large ensembles. It
is used for cabaret-style jazz performances
as well.
The construction project created the
Cohen-Davison Family Theatre, a new
95-seat lecture/recital hall, a percussion
studio, improved box office, concert and
ensemble offices, and 12 new practice
rooms. Two new elevators provide access
to all levels of the main Conservatory
building from either end of the Grand
Arcade.
Security
The Peabody campus is protected by
the Peabody Campus Police Department
24 hours a day. Guided by its commu-
nity-based philosophy, the department
is headed by a director and staffed by 12
uniformed officers, commissioned by the
state of Maryland with full arrest powers.
The department also provides a van escort
service which operates in the evenings to
transport members of the community to
and from campus within approximately a
12-block area.
The entrances to campus are secured at
all times, and community members may
enter at any time by use of their indi-
vidual “card-key access” identification and
sign-in at the main entrance. Most campus
buildings are open seven days a week from
6 a.m. to 2 a.m. The practice rooms in
the library building and the basement are
available 24 hours a day.
11
Facilities
Performance. The Miriam A. Friedberg
Concert Hall, with seating for 695, com-
bines modern technical facilities with
its resplendent historic architecture. The
Conservatory’s other performance halls
are Leith Symington Griswold Hall, a
renovated concert and rehearsal space with
a seating capacity of 150 and a three-
manual tracker-action Holtkamp concert
organ; the 95-seat Cohen-Davison Family
Theatre; and Hilda and Douglas Goodwin
Hall, the primary facility for Preparatory
recitals and for many Conservatory reper-
tory classes and recitals.
The Conservatory maintains a collection
of string, woodwind, brass, and percussion
instruments available for use in instru-
mental classes. Its collection of baroque
instruments includes two French double
harpsichords by William Dowd, a Flem-
ish single harpsichord by Rodney Regier,
a virginal, fortepiano, clavichord, several
baroque flutes, oboes, bassoon, viols, vio-
lins, viola, cello, and bows. In 2007 the
Conservatory acquired a matched baroque
string quartet by Juraj Vancik and a
theorbo by Ed Greenhood.
The collection of Renaissance instru-
ments includes full consorts of recorders,
gems­horns, krummhorns, five lutes, two
flutes, sackbuts, viols, and percussion.
Acquisitions during 2007 include a Renais-
sance long drum by Ben Harms and tenor
and bass sackbuts by Von der Heide. Stu-
dents also have access to Renaissance and
baroque guitars, a vihuela, and a cittern as
well as a full consort of recorders by Adri-
ana Breukink.
Libraries. One of the oldest music col-
lections in the United States, the Arthur
Friedheim Library traces its history from
the establishment of an orchestral library
when Peabody first opened its doors in
1868. Since then it has grown from a
library of a dozen or so sets of orchestral
parts to a major regional collection of over
100,000 volumes. Among the strengths
of the collection are performance materials
for solo players and chamber ensembles,
orchestral scores, music reference books,
scholarly editions, books of musical biog-
raphy, music history and music theory,
recordings, and music periodicals.
The Arthur Friedheim Library opened in
February, 1990 and in May of the same year
was dedicated to the memory of the great
pianist and student of Liszt, Arthur Fried-
heim, by his son Eric Friedheim, whose
generous gift made possible the attractive
new facility. Modern and well-equipped, the
Arthur Friedheim Library is accessible to
all students with abundant and comfortable
study space. The open stack library collec-
tion includes over 90,000 scores and books.
An audio-visual center on the plaza level
incorporates a collection of over 25,000
sound recordings, a videotape library, 25
study carrels variously equipped for audio,
video and computer use, and a microfilm
reader-printer.
Located on the first floor of the Arthur
Friedheim Library, the Archives of the
Peabody Institute serves as the official
repository for the historical records of
the Institute and also collects the papers
and records of musicians and musical
organizations of the greater Baltimore
metropolitan area. The early years of the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Bal-
timore Opera, and a host of other musical
organizations are documented in Peabody’s
Archives. A computerized finding guide is
available in the Archives’ reading area to
assist students and accredited scholars.
The Galleria Piccola mounts regular
exhibitions of photographs, drawings, and
historical documents drawn from the Pea-
body collections. The generous gift of P.
William and Vera Ruth Filby established
the Rare Book Room in the Music Library
of the Peabody Conservatory in 1990. This
room, located on the second level of one of
the distinctive townhouses on Mt. Vernon
Place, houses over 1,000 volumes includ-
ing music scores, individual manuscripts,
personal papers and artifacts, and books on
music dating from the 16th century to the
present.
The main library building houses the
George Peabody Collection of The Johns
12
Hopkins University. Formerly the Pea-
body Research and Reference Library,
which was part of the Enoch Pratt Free
Library system of Baltimore, this library’s
collections are internationally renowned
and still accessible to the general public as
well as to Peabody students.
The Johns Hopkins University’s pri-
mary library collection is housed in the
Milton S. Eisenhower Library on the
Homewood campus. Not only is it the
primary research, teaching, and cultural
resource of the university, but the quality
and quantity of its collections and services
rank it as one of the major research librar-
ies in the country. The Albert B. Hutzler
Undergraduate Reading Room in Gil-
man Hall supplements this collection on
the Homewood campus. Within walking
distance of the Conservatory is the central
building of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
Also nearby is the Maryland Historical
Society, which contains a large collec-
tion of 18th- and 19th-century American
music imprints. The proximity of these
institutions and of the Library of Congress
in Washington, D.C., with its extensive
and internationally recognized musical
resources, permits wide latitude in the
choice of research projects undertaken
towards the fulfillment of degree require-
ments.
Recording Studios. The Peabody Recording
Studios record all concerts, degree recitals,
and special events at Peabody, utilizing
advanced techniques and state-of-the-art
equipment. Studio 220, the main Con-
servatory studio facility, is directly linked
to the Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall.
Studio 203, also located in the Conserva-
tory building, is the primary studio for
events in Griswold Hall. Both studios
are fully digital and surround capable, as
well as being interconnected, permitting
data transfer between the facilities. Two
other recording control rooms, Studio
3036 and Studio 2002, are located in the
Leakin Hall building and provide services
to Goodwin Hall and East Hall. Studio
2002 features digital recording from
two to 24 tracks and has comprehensive
digital editing facilities. Studio 3036 is
a fully equipped 24-track analog record
and mix room. Studio 220 is also adjacent
to an acoustically balanced performance
area with a nine-foot Steinway piano. All
studios are constantly updated to reflect
the current state of modern recording. In
addition, there is a sound booth in the
balcony area of the Friedberg Concert
Hall, used primarily for sound reinforce-
ment work but also capable of recording
digitally from Friedberg Hall. Recording
sessions and the recording of non-degree
recitals can be arranged through the
Recording Studio Office located on the
second floor of the Conservatory building
or by going to the Recording Arts
web page at www.peabody.jhu.edu/
recording-arts. Copies of concerts can be
ordered at those locations also.
The Recording Studios record most
events direct to CD with hard disc backup.
Master recordings for all events are per-
manently stored in the Peabody Archives.
Each student is entitled to one free CD of
his/her degree recital, with additional cop-
ies available on a fee basis. Students, faculty,
and staff may also use the Recording Stu-
dios for special projects and audition tapes
on an hourly fee basis. A price schedule is
available on request and is published on the
Peabody Recording Studio web page. As a
special service to students, and on request,
CDs of all major events are placed in the
Peabody Listening Library for 30 days after
each concert.
In addition to producing recordings for
archival use and broadcast, the Studios are
the working laboratories for the students
in the Recording Arts and Sciences degree
programs. Additionally, there are classes
in recording technology and production
available for non-recording majors on the
undergraduate and graduate levels. More
information can be found at www.peabody
.jhu.edu/recordingarts. Any student inter-
ested in the recording arts degree program
or classes should call the Recording Office
or e-mail cht@jhu.edu.

Computer Music Studios. The Computer
Music Studios serve as a working labora-
tory for music composition and research,
as well as a center for courses, demonstra-
tions, and public programs. Many projects
use both analog and digital facilities.
Peabody’s activity in electronic (analog)
music began with summer workshops
for teachers first held in 1967. When the
Peabody Electronic Music Studio opened
officially in 1969, it was the first such
studio in Maryland, and one of the first in
the country to be located in a conservatory.
Over the years, its facilities have been sys-
tematically updated and expanded.
The affiliation of Peabody with The
Johns Hopkins University has made pos-
sible expansion into the field of computer
music, utilizing the computers, advanced
technology, and computer expertise
available at Johns Hopkins. In addition
to Peabody courses in computer music,
Conservatory students have access to uni-
versity courses in computer science, elec-
tronics, and related fields.
Computer Music Consort. The Computer
Music Consort is a professional ensemble in
residence at the Computer Music Depart-
ment dedicated to the performance of the
digital arts. The Consort aims to bring the
best current computer music and multi-
media performance to the public in unique
and original ways. Activity includes perfor-
mances (many of which involve “live” per-
formers plus tape, real-time electronics, and
mixed media presentations), lectures, and
commissions for new works in the medium.
The Consort frequently invites guest com-
posers and performers to participate in its
events.
Facilities. The Computer Music Depart-
ment occupies space on the third floor
of the historic Conservatory building.
In addition to an office for faculty and
staff, there are two fully equipped studios
and two multipurpose spaces for student
and faculty composition, performance,
rehearsal, and research. The departmental
studios feature a wide variety of music
technologies, including MIDI, Direct
Digital Synthesis, SMPTE synchronization
and digital multitrack recording.
1. The Teaching Studio is intended primar-
ily for introductory-level and non-major
students but is also used as an additional
production facility by departmental grad-
uate students and faculty.
The room doubles as the department’s
primary classroom, and for this reason
features a high-quality data projection
system for computer and video demonstra-
tions. This studio also houses the depart-
ment’s vintage Moog synthesizers, which
are carefully maintained for historical and
pedagogical purposes. Multichannel A/D
and D/A conversion systems, along with
an eight-track digital audio recorder and
a 24x8 console, are available, as well as
a quadro-phonic sound system featuring
Meyer and Tannoy monitors.
2. The Production Studio is intended for use
by computer music graduate students and
faculty. It is a fully professional production
facility designed for high-end composition
and research. A state-of-the-art all-digital
console is at the heart of this studio. The
digital board is interfaced with multichan-
nel A/D and D/A conversion systems and a
digital multitrack recorder, allowing fully
digital recording and mixing. Monitoring
is through a Dynaudio near-field stereo
system with a subwoofer.
3. The Digital Arts Studio is a multiuser
facility supporting a variety of digital arts
applications. A number of workstations
for MIDI, digital audio, video, and multi-
media are available, as well as general pur-
pose computers for programming, Internet
access, and general use.
4. The Digital Performance Studio is an
experimental rehearsal space/practice
room. The MIDI system here includes a
Kawai grand piano equipped with a MIDI
PianoDisc system. This space is easily
reconfigured and may be used for rehearsal
as well as research and com­position.
14
5. Workstations. The department supports
a network of computers optimized for
music-making and research. A wide vari-
ety of platforms are supported, including
Windows, Macintosh, Unix, and Linux. A
wireless network allows the easy integra-
tion of student laptops. A wide variety of
commercial and noncommercial software
applications for music are available for
MIDI, audio, and video recording, editing
and playback as well as tools for program-
ming and software for music notation.
The Internet and Technology at Peabody
Peabody students, faculty, and staff have
full access to the Internet. Buildings on
the Peabody campus are interconnected
via a fiber-based backbone, and links to
other divisions of The Johns Hopkins
University are provided through a high-
speed network. Most rooms on campus are
wired for Internet access.
With an account on JHMI, students, fac-
ulty, and staff have access to electronic mail.
Computers for student use are available in
the Friedheim Library, a computer resource
room in 205 Leakin Hall, and in the Unger
Lounge Computer Center. All rooms in the
Residence Hall are wired for student Inter-
net access.
Information about Peabody can be
found on the Internet in the appropri-
ate directories of The Johns Hopkins

the Walters Art Museum (directly across
the street from Peabody’s Schapiro House
on North Charles Street), the Baltimore
Museum of Art (adjacent to the Home-
wood campus of The Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity), Center Stage, the Hippodrome
Theatre, the Maryland Institute College of
Art, the Maryland Historical Society, the
National Aquarium, the Science Center
and Planetarium, and many smaller gal-
leries and theaters—all within minutes of
the Conservatory.
The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
presents a full season of concerts in Joseph
Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, while the Bal-
timore Opera Company performs in the
historic Lyric Opera House. The two halls
are adjacent to one another and within
easy walking distance of the Peabody.
Numerous professional chamber music
and choral groups present concert series at
the Hopkins Homewood campus, Goucher
College, the Walters Art Museum, the
Baltimore Museum of Art, and other
Baltimore locations. Peabody students
may attend most concerts and recitals at
reduced rates. In addition, further cultural
opportunities are available in Washington,
D.C., which is less than an hour away
from Baltimore by train or automobile.
Peabody Concerts, Lectures, and Master Classes
The extent of Peabody’s concert year
is seen in its Concert Calendar, which
includes performances by the Peabody
Symphony Orchestra and Concert Orches-
tra; the Wind Ensemble; Chamber Winds;
Camerata contemporary music ensemble;
Renaissance Ensemble; Chorus and Con-
cert Singers; Opera Theatre and Chamber
Opera; the Sylvia Adalman Artist Recital
Series; organ, jazz, and computer music
15
concerts; and special events. These events
feature student ensembles and soloists,
Peabody’s internationally acclaimed fac-
ulty, and guest artists. Peabody also pres-
ents a Thursday Noon Recital Series while
school is in session with student soloists
and chamber ensembles. Individual stu-
dents and ensembles present over 600 con-
certs yearly at Peabody, and make frequent
appearances throughout Maryland and
adjoining areas.

environment at Peabody is enriched by
master classes, lecture recitals, and semi-
nars given by many of the world’s out-
standing artists and teachers.
Distinguished Visiting Faculty
Distinguished visiting faculty come to
Peabody several times during the school
year to interact with students on a master
class and private lesson basis as mutually
determined by departmental faculty in
consultation with the dean.
Visiting Composers. A grant from Randolph
S. Rothschild underwrites the cost of visit-
ing composers each academic year.
Trio in Residence
The Peabody Trio serves as the resident
faculty ensemble of the Peabody Conserva-
tory, a position they have held since 1989.
Since winning the prestigious Naumburg
Chamber Music Award that same year, the
Trio has performed throughout the U.S.,
Canada, Europe, Japan, and Israel to criti-
cal acclaim. Summer festival appearances
have included Tanglewood Music Center,
the Ravinia Festival, Skaneateles Festival,
and the “Music in the Vineyards” Festival
in Napa, California. The Peabody Trio
has been ensemble-in-residence at Yellow
Barn music school and festival since 1998.
The Trio has also been heard in numerous
radio broadcasts, including St. Paul Sunday
Morning, Morning Pro Musica, NPR’s Per-
formance Today, CBC, Radio Canada, and
the WQXR Listening Room in New York.
Equally committed to the performance
of new music and the classics of the rep-
ertoire, the Peabody Trio has been praised
for its interpretations of music ranging
from the works of Haydn to Charles
Wuorinen. They have worked with such
composers as Shulamit Ran, Zhou Long,
Bright Sheng, Charles Wuorinen, and
Leon Kirchner.
As faculty, members of the Peabody
Trio teach majors, coach Conservatory
ensembles, and hold a weekly seminar in
the performance of chamber music.

lence, leadership, and community service.
Induction occurs annually in the spring
on the Homewood campus of The Johns
Hopkins University.
Career Counseling and Placement
Peabody’s Career Counseling and Place-
ment service aids students and alumni
as they plan their careers and search for
professional employment. To this end, the
17
office maintains personal files of confiden-
tial references for students and alumni,
copies of which are sent on request to
prospective employers or graduate schools
for a nominal charge. The office offers con-
sultation and information on career path,
the job search, cover letters, resumes, and
other career-related topics.
The Career Counseling Office is a
repository of information on jobs in music
across the U.S., musical and non-musical
work in the Baltimore area, competitions
in the U.S. and abroad, grants and awards,
summer festivals, and events of interest.
All announcements received are noted in
the semimonthly Job Vacancy Bulletin
published by the office for the benefit of
Peabody students and alumni. The com-
plete newsletter is available on campus,
and the text portion can be found at
www.peabody.jhu.edu/jvb. Written sum-
maries of seminars on finding manage-
ment, survival after music school, career
building, and the prevention of perfor-
mance-related injury are available to Pea-
body students and alumni without charge.
The Office of Career Counseling and
Placement also publishes a list of informal
and formal recital venues in the Balti-
more/Washington, D.C. area and operates
a Musician Referral Service, which refers
qualified students and alumni to call-
ers from outside Peabody seeking music
for concerts, weddings, parties, or other
events.
Partnership between the Yong Siew Toh
Conservatory of the National University of
Singapore and the Peabody Institute of Johns
Hopkins University
The signing of an agreement between
the National University of Singapore and
The Johns Hopkins University on Novem-
ber 26, 2001, created the first collabora-
tion of its kind between a top American
conservatory of music and a leading
university in the Asia Pacific region. The
Peabody Institute embraced the opportu-
nity to provide artistic advice and conser-
vatory expertise in the development of a
new conservatory in Singapore—the Yong
Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, National
University of Singapore. This partnership
brings a fresh infusion of international
dialog and opportunities to Peabody’s Bal-
timore campus as its musicians, scholars,
and administrators lend the wisdom of the
Institute’s accumulated knowledge to the
development and growing reputation of
Yong Siew Toh Conservatory. Combining
Singapore’s vision with Peabody’s know-
how, Yong Siew Toh has already gradu-
ated its first class of musicians and is an
international benchmark for excellence for
Southeast Asia and the world. The collab-
oration continues to provide unparalleled
opportunities to Peabody and Yong Siew
Toh students. There is a vibrant exchange
program between the schools, and faculty
from each institution give master classes
and lessons every year.
Study Abroad Program
Peabody students are eligible to apply
for an exchange semester with the Yong
Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore. In
addition, The Peabody Institute partici-
pates in a number of exchange programs
with other sister institutions abroad. Cur-
rently there are agreements between Pea-
body and the Paris Conservatoire and the
Royal Academy of Music in London (UK),
with the possibility of additional partner-
ships in the coming years. These programs
can accommodate only a few students each
year and are subject to faculty and dean
approval. The exchanges usually take place
in a student’s junior year and last for one
semester. All exchanges must be recipro-
cal, requiring that Peabody and the over-
seas institution exchange students within
the same major (e.g., flute for flute, or
cello for cello, etc.). Candidates must be in
good academic standing and may need to
meet certain requirements, such as studies
in French before attending the Paris Con-
18
servatoire. Students who undertake this
program may have to delay their gradua-
tion dates if they are unable to complete
Peabody requirements on time. The Pea-
body associate dean for academic affairs
can advise on the transferability of overseas
credits as well as the possibility of gradu-
ation delay. All participating students
continue to pay tuition to their home
institutions and receive tuition waivers at
the exchange institution. Please consult
the dean of the Conservatory or director of
the Institute for more information.
Conducting Fellows Program
Beginning in 2007–2008, the Balti-
more Symphony Orchestra with Music
Director Marin Alsop and the Peabody
Conservatory will launch a Conducting
Fellows Program, a collaborative project
that supports the musical and leadership
development of young conductors. An
outgrowth of the American Symphony
Orchestra League’s American Conducting
Fellows Program launched in 2002, the
Baltimore project offers conductors in the
early stages of their careers an opportunity
to hone their skills before assuming a role
with a professional orchestra.
The BSO and Peabody together have
designed a program that takes advantage
of the two institutions’ vast resources—
training not only in theory, music history,
and baton technique, but also a broad
curriculum in subjects such as psychology,
public speaking, foreign language, and
political science, plus practical on-the-
job training and real-time feedback from
Marin Alsop, professional orchestra musi-
cians, and administrators.
Initially, one conducting fellow will be
chosen annually. Fellows will be chosen
through a competitive audition process
created by Peabody and the BSO.

Official Dress and Equipment
The official dress for Peabody public
ensemble performance is:
Evening: Tuxedo, black shoes and socks .
Black floor-length long-sleeved .
dress or black top and pants, .
black shoes
Daytime: Tuxedo or dark suit, white .

All Peabody students should own
proper concert attire by the beginning
of the school year. They also should be
equipped with their own music stands
for small ensemble rehearsals and practice
room purposes.
Outside Instruction and Public Performance
Peabody facilities may not be used for
private teaching of lessons except as con-
nected in some way with Conservatory or
Preparatory programs. A student must
secure the approval of his or her teacher to
appear as soloist or ensemble member on
programs presented under auspices other
than the Conservatory’s. Peabody reserves
the right to prohibit such participation
if it is considered detrimental to either
the student or the school. Students in the
harpsichord program are permitted to use
the school’s instruments for public perfor-
mance outside the Conservatory, with the
permission of the teacher.
Inter-Institutional Academic Arrangements
Within the university system, cross- .
registration without extra cost extends for
Peabody students to courses offered by the
School of Arts and Sciences, the Whiting .
School of Engineering, the Carey Busi-
ness School, and the School of Education.
Students enrolled in the schools of Arts
and Sciences or Engineering may, simi-
larly, register for an un­limited number
of classes, on a space-available basis, at
the Peabody Conservatory. The granting
of credit for Conservatory study must be
21
approved by the deans of the appropriate
Johns Hopkins University divisions.
Reciprocal arrangements also have been
made with several Baltimore colleges
whereby full-time sophomores, juniors,
and seniors may take one course per
semester for credit in academic classroom
courses, subject to course availability and
observance of all regulations of the host
institution.
Students requesting cross-registration
must complete appropriate forms which
are available in the Office of the Conserva-
tory Registrar. Credit sought for any other
courses taken outside the Conservatory
during the period of a student’s enroll-
ment must be approved in writing by the
associate dean for academic affairs.
Music and dance instruction is also
available through the Peabody Preparatory
for non-credit. Students wishing to take
private music lessons through the Prepara-
tory must go through placement inter-
views/auditions. Lessons are scheduled on
a space-available basis. Students in Arts
and Sciences or Engineering desiring to
take individual instruction pay 75 percent
of the Preparatory individual tuition as
listed in the current Preparatory catalog.
Students in all other JHU divisions desir-
ing to take individual instruction pay
100 percent of the Preparatory individual
instruction tuition as listed in the current
Preparatory catalog. Non-Peabody stu-
dents desiring to take any music or dance
class in the Preparatory are subject to full
tuition as listed in the current Preparatory
catalog.
Peabody/Homewood Double Degree Program
Peabody and the Homewood schools of
The Johns Hopkins University offer the
opportunity for a limited number of stu-
dents to pursue simultaneously a Bachelor
of Music degree and either a Bachelor of
Arts degree from the School of Arts and
Sciences or a Bachelor of Science degree
from the Whiting School of Engineering.
Students must be admitted independently
to Peabody and one of the Homewood
schools and be invited to participate in the
Double Degree Program. Students who
have begun their junior year of study are
not eligible to enter the Double Degree
Program nor may students transfer into
the program midyear. Typically, the Dou-
ble Degree Program takes a minimum of
five years to complete.
Administrative services such as registra-
tion, financial aid, and health care are pro-
vided to Double Degree students by the
Homewood schools. Consequently, stu-
dents in the Double Degree Program do
not receive Peabody merit scholarships or
any other form of financial aid from Pea-
body. Double Degree students must enroll
at a minimum in private lessons and, for
instrumental majors, large ensembles to
maintain their status as Peabody degree
candidates in the Double Degree Program.
Additional information regarding the
Double Degree Program is available from
22
the Office of Admissions and in the Office
of Student Affairs.
Transcripts
Requests for transcripts involve two
offices of the Conservatory: the Business
Office and the Registrar’s Office. A fee is
charged for each official or unofficial copy
of any academic transcript. Transcripts
may not be released prior to payment
of the transcript fee and all outstanding
monies owed the Conservatory. After pay-
ment of the fee at the Business Office,
written requests may be submitted to the
Registrar’s Office. Unofficial transcripts
are sent to students. Official transcripts,
carrying the school seal and the signature
of the Registrar, are sent to institutions
and agencies.
Official financial aid transcripts should
be requested directly from the Financial
Aid Office.

Dean’s List Criteria. The criteria for inclu-
sion on the Dean’s List are:
1. Full-time status in an undergraduate
degree program
2. A semester grade point average of 3.67
or higher
3. No Incompletes for the semester

designated “High Honors.”
Graduate. Graduate students must main-
tain a cumulative and current grade point
average of at least 3.00 and a grade of at
least C in the major area (lessons, recit-
als, hearings) in order to be considered
in acceptable academic standing and
eligible for graduation. Students earn-

graduation. More stringent academic
regulations apply for financial aid and
scholarship recipients and students with
graduate assistantships.
The following grading standards are used
at the graduate level:
Performance markedly above average
A genuinely outstanding
A- a very high standard in which
strengths far exceed weaknesses

The associate dean for academic affairs
reviews the academic progress of each
student at the end of every semester and
submits the names of students experienc-
ing academic difficulty to the Graduate
Committee or to the Doctor of Musical
Arts committee, as appropriate.
The appropriate academic committee
makes recommendations regarding pro-
bation, dismissal, or continuance in the
program.
Graduation eligibility. To be approved for
graduation, students must have resolved
any and all outstanding charges of miscon-
duct and violations of academic ethics, in
addition to satisfying all degree require-
ments.
Dismissal. Students who fail to attain the
minimum acceptable grade point average
or the minimum acceptable grade in their
major area, or whom the applicable aca-
demic committee judges as having failed
to make progress toward completion of
their degree program, may be dismissed
immediately, without a semester of warn-
ing. The Conservatory reserves the right
to exclude at any time a student whose
academic standing or general conduct is
considered unsatisfactory.
Retention of Scholarship
Undergraduate. In order to hold an under-
graduate scholarship, students must be
enrolled as full-time degree or Performer’s
Certificate candidates and maintain a
cumulative and current grade point aver-
age of at least 3.00, with a grade of at least
B in the major lesson and departmental
examinations.

Graduate. In order to hold a graduate
scholarship or assistantship, students must
be enrolled as full-time degree or diploma
candidates and maintain a consistently
high level of performance in every area
of study, with a cumulative and current
grade point average of at least 3.0, and a
grade of at least B in the major lesson and
departmental examinations.
Other Sources of Financial Aid
Maintenance of good academic stand-
ing and satisfactory academic progress are
requirements for continued eligibility for
financial assistance from federal and state
sources.
Attendance and Absences
Classes and Lessons. Regular and prompt
attendance in classes and lessons is
expected of all students. A statement
of individual class attendance policy is
provided in each class at the beginning
of each semester. It is expected that ill-
ness claimed as reasons for absence will be
appropriately documented.
All students who are absent from class
for an extended period of time, or for a
personal or medical emergency, should
contact the Office of the Associate Dean
for Academic Affairs, provide documenta-
tion, and ask that their teachers be noti-
fied. These notifications do not signify
approval but are sent to instructors as a
courtesy. The student remains responsible
for making up all missed work and for
securing the permission of the instructors
for absences.
Performance groups. Regulatory guidelines
are published in the Student Handbook.
Auditing
Full-time students may audit any Con-
servatory class, upon permission of the
instructor. Part-time students must pay
the regular cost for each course of study,
unless otherwise specified.
Course Changes and Withdrawals
The Registrar’s Office must approve all
course additions, withdrawals, or changes.
Courses or lessons dropped within the first
four weeks of a semester will be deleted
from the student’s registration. With-
drawals do not become effective until
the properly signed forms are received
in the Registrar’s Office. For courses
dropped within the fifth or sixth week
of the semester an automatic grade of W
will be recorded. After the sixth week, the
grade being earned will be recorded with
a WP or WF (Pass or Fail), which will
not affect the GPA. All requests for a WP
or WF must be approved by the associate
dean for academic affairs.
The deadline for changing sections or
withdrawing from classes is the end of the
10th week of the semester. Exact deadline
dates are listed in the Academic Calendar.
Courses may not be changed from
Credit to Audit after the sixth week of the
semester.
Change of Major
Students requesting a change of major
must qualify through auditions and inter-
views with appropriate faculty. To initiate
a change of major, a student must com-
plete a change of major form available in
the Admissions Office.
Change of Studio Teacher
In general, a student is expected to
remain with the same studio teacher for
the duration of a program. In instances
where there are compelling reasons for
requesting a change, a student may do so
by contacting the associate dean for aca-
demic affairs. All studio changes require
the signature of both the current and new
major teacher, followed by the signature of
the associate dean for academic affairs.
If no studio teacher at Peabody Conser-
vatory is willing to accept a student, the
student may be required to withdraw.
Definition of Full-Time Status and Credit Limits
Students at the Conservatory are consid-
ered full time if they carry the following
number of credit hours per semester:
1. Undergraduate Programs
Bachelor of Music 13 .
Performer’s Certificate 13
26
Within reason, students in degree pro-
grams (B.M., B.M.R.A., B.M.ED.) may
register for an unlimited number of cred-
its, without additional cost.
2. Graduate Diploma Programs .
Graduate Performance Diploma 4 .
Artist Diploma 4
GPD and AD programs are for full-time
students only. Students in these programs
are allowed to register for lessons, recitals,
unlimited ensembles, and between one
and three credits of academic coursework
each semester. Academic credits in excess
of three will entail additional per credit
hour fees. Credit limits reflect Peabody’s
educational philosophy that graduate
students should focus on the intense chal-
lenges specific to their major area and
related academic studies.
3. Graduate Degree Programs .
Master of Music 9 .
Doctor of Musical Arts 9
In addition to lessons, ensembles, recit-
als, and audited courses, students enrolled
in graduate degree programs (M.M. and
D.M.A.) may enroll for a maximum of
nine credit hours of academic coursework
each semester. Undergraduate language
classes, pedagogy classes and depart-
mentally recommended classes may be
excluded from the credit limit. Academic
credits in excess of nine hours will entail
additional per credit hour fees.
Interruption of Degree Work
Leaves of absence. A leave of absence is an
approved interruption of the degree pro-
gram. Any student in good standing (see
pp. 23–24) may be placed on leave of
absence for personal or professional reasons.
A student on a leave of absence may not be
enrolled as a full-time student at another
institution.
Voluntary. A student may request a leave
of absence by writing to the associate dean
for academic affairs. A leave of absence
is granted for the period of one semester
or one academic year. A leave of absence
is not granted routinely, however, and a
student should have compelling reasons
for requesting an interruption of his/her
regular progress toward the degree.
If a leave of absence has been granted,
the student must notify the Office of Aca-
demic Affairs in writing of the intent to
return by November 15 for re-enrollment
the following spring semester, or by April
15 for fall re-enrollment. A tuition deposit
of $50 will be required at that time to
reserve space on the major teacher’s ros-
ter; however, a student requesting a leave
of absence is not guaranteed a space in a
teacher’s studio upon return to school.
Involuntary. In situations where a leave
of absence is indicated due to circum-
stances as described below, the associate
dean for student affairs will encourage the
student to initiate a voluntary leave of
absence. If the student declines to do so,
the associate dean may require an invol-
untary leave of absence. This step will be
taken when necessary to protect the safety
of the student or other individuals or to
preserve the integrity of the university’s
learning environment. Such a decision
may be based on behavior and/or commu-
nication that:
•  Harms or threatens harm to the health
or safety of the student or others;
•  Causes or threatens to cause significant
damage to the property or resources of the
university;
•  Evidences chronic and/or serious drug
or alcohol abuse;
•  Significantly disrupts the functioning of
the university community; and/or
•  Reflects disorganized or altered think-
ing incompatible with successful partici-
pation in the academic program.
A fitness for return assessment will be
required as a condition of returning from
an involuntary leave of absence arising
from any of these circumstances.
Undergraduate: Undergraduate students
on leave of absence for more than the
allowed year must petition the Under-
graduate Committee for readmission and
27
certification of previously earned credits
toward the degree program. This process
includes reauditioning and may include
placement tests in specific areas.
Graduate (other than D.M.A.): Graduate
students on leave of absence for more than
the allowed year must petition the Gradu-
ate Committee for readmission and certifi-
cation of previously earned credits toward
the degree program. This process includes
reauditioning and may include placement
tests in specific areas.
D.M.A.: Once a D.M.A. candidate has
completed the required coursework, he
or she may no longer exercise the leave-
of-absence option, but must continue to
enroll for Degree-in-Progress through the
semester of completion of degree require-
ments in order to maintain standing in
the program. If a student interrupts his or
her program by failing to pay the DIP fee
for more than one year, the student must
petition the D.M.A. Committee for read-
mission. Upon approval of the petition, all
retroactive fees must be paid in order for
reinstatement of status to become effec-
tive. Any D.M.A. candidate who fails to
register for Degree-in-Progress will be
dropped from the program.
International Students: International
students who request a leave of absence
should be aware that U.S. law governing
the visa status of F-1 students requires
them to leave the United States for the
duration of their leave of absence, unless
the leave is granted for reasons of illness or
other medical conditions. Students wish-
ing to remain in the United States during
their leaves of absence must provide medi-
cal documentation to the school to support
such a request. Medical leave of absence
cannot exceed an aggregate of one year.
Withdrawals. Requests for total with-
drawal from degree programs must be ini-
tiated in the Office of the Associate Dean
for Student Affairs.
Readmission. Former degree candidates who
have withdrawn from the Conservatory
must submit a written request for read-
mission to the associate dean for academic
affairs. Final decisions on readmission will
be made by the associate dean in consulta-
tion with the appropriate academic com-
mittee.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Students are responsible for understand-
ing all academic regulations and require-
ments for graduation, as set forth in this
catalog and the Student Handbook, and
are responsible for completing the appli-
cable requirements for graduation. The
Peabody Institute of necessity reserves the
right to change any provision, require-
ment, policy, or regulation published in
the catalog within a student’s term of resi-
dence. However, it may be assumed that,
except under the most unusual circum-
stances, the regulations in force during a
student’s term of residence are those stated
in the catalog of the year in which that
student’s matriculation was begun.

University Policies
Completion of Program
The award of degrees and certificates
of satisfactory completion is dependent
upon satisfaction of all current degree and
instructional requirements at the time of
such award, compliance with university
and divisional regulations, as well as per-
28
formance meeting bona fide expectations
of faculty. No member of the faculty is
obliged to provide students or graduates
with an evaluation or letter of recommen-
dation which does not accurately reflect
that faculty member’s true opinion and
evaluation of academic performance and
conduct.
The Johns Hopkins University does
not guarantee the award of a degree or a
certificate of satisfactory completion of
any course of study or training program to
students enrolled in any instructional or
training program.
Notice of Nondiscriminatory Policy as to
Students
The Johns Hopkins University admits
students of any race, color, gender, religion,
age, national or ethnic origin, disability,
marital status or veteran status to all of
the rights, privileges, programs, benefits,
and activities generally accorded or made
available to students at the university. It
does not discriminate on the basis of race,
color, gender, marital status, pregnancy,
ethnicity, national origin, age, disability,
religion, sexual orientation, gender iden-
tity or expression, veteran status, or other
legally protected characteristic in any stu-
dent program or activity administered by
the university, including the administration
of its educational policies, admission poli-
cies, scholarship and loan programs, and
athletic and other university-administered
programs or in employment.
Questions regarding Title VI, Title
IX, and Section 504 should be referred
to the Office of Institutional Equity, 130
Garland Hall, Telephone: 410-516-8075,
(TTY): 410-516-6225.
Policy on the Reserve Officer Training Corps
Defense Department policies regard-
ing sexual orientation in ROTC programs
conflict with this university policy.
Because ROTC is a valuable component of
the university that provides an opportu-
nity for many students to afford a Hopkins
education, to train for a career, and to
become positive forces in the military, the
university, after careful study, has contin-
ued its ROTC program, but encourages a
change in federal policy that brings it into
conformity with the university’s policy.
Anti-Harassment Policy
Preamble
The Johns Hopkins University is com-
mitted to providing its staff, faculty and
students the opportunity to pursue excel-
lence in their academic and professional
endeavors. This can only exist when each
member of our community is assured an
atmosphere of mutual respect. The free
and open exchange of ideas is fundamental
to the university’s purpose. It is not the
university’s intent in promulgating this
policy to inhibit free speech or the free
communication of ideas by members of
the academic community.
Policy Against Discriminatory Harassment
1. The university is committed to
maintaining learning and working
environments that are free from all
forms of harassment and discrimina-
tion. Accordingly, harassment based
on an individual’s gender, marital
status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnic-
ity, national origin, age, disability,
religion, sexual orientation, gender
identity or expression, veteran status,
or other legally protected characteristic
is prohibited. The university will not
tolerate harassment, sexual harassment
or retaliation in the workplace or edu-
cational environment whether commit-
ted by faculty, staff, or students, or by
visitors to Hopkins while they are on
campus. Each member of the commu-
nity is responsible for fostering civility,
for being familiar with this policy, and
for refraining from conduct that vio-
lates this policy.
2. For purposes of this policy, harassment
is defined as:
a) any type of behavior which is based
on gender, marital status, preg-
nancy, race, color, ethnicity, national
origin, age, disability, religion,
29
sexual orientation, gender identity
or expression, veteran status, that
b) is so severe or pervasive that it
interferes with an individual’s work
or academic performance or creates
an intimidating, hostile or offensive
working or academic environment.
3. Harassment when directed at an
individual because of his/her gender,
marital status, pregnancy, race, color,
ethnicity, national origin, age, dis-
ability, religion, sexual orientation,
gender identity or expression, personal
appearance, veteran status, or any
other legally protected characteristic
may include, but is not limited to:
unwanted physical contact; use of epi-
thets, inappropriate jokes, comments
or innuendos; obscene or harassing
telephone calls, e-mails, letters, notes
or other forms of communication; and,
any conduct that may create a hostile
working or academic environment.
4. Sexual harassment, whether between
people of different sexes or the same
sex, is defined to include, but is not
limited to, unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other
behavior of a sexual nature when:
a) submission to such conduct is made
implicitly or explicitly a term or
condition of an individual’s employ-
ment or participation in an educa-
tion program;
b) submission to or rejection of such
conduct by an individual is used as
the basis for personnel decisions or
for academic evaluation or advance-
ment; or
c) such conduct has the purpose or effect
of unreasonably interfering with an
individual’s work or academic per-
formance or creates an intimidating,
hostile or offensive working or educa-
tional environment.
Sexual harassment may include, but
is not limited to, unwelcome sexual
advances; demands/threats for sexual
favors or actions; posting, distributing,
or displaying sexual pictures or objects;
 suggestive gestures, sounds or stares;
unwelcome physical contact; sending/
forwarding inappropriate e-mails of a
sexual or offensive nature; inappropri-
ate jokes, comments or innuendos of
a sexual natures; obscene or harassing
telephone calls, e-mails, letters, notes
or other forms of communication; and
any conduct of a sexual nature that
may create a hostile working or educa-
tional environment.
5. Retaliation against an individual who
complains of discriminatory harass-
ment under this policy is strictly
prohibited. Intentionally making a
false accusation of harassment is also
prohibited.
Responsibilities Under This Policy
The university is committed to enforce-
ment of this policy. Individuals who are
found to have violated this policy will be
subject to the full range of sanctions, up to
and including termination of his/her uni-
versity affiliation.
1. All individuals are expected to conduct
themselves in a manner consistent with
this policy.
2. Staff, faculty and/or students who
believe that they have been subject to
discriminatory harassment are encour-
aged to report, as soon as possible, their
concerns to the Office of Institutional
Equity, their supervisors, divisional
human resources or the Office of the
Dean of their school. The university
provides a network of confidential
consultants by which individuals can
discuss concerns related to discrimina-
tory harassment.
3. Individuals who witness what they
believe may be discriminatory harass-
ment of another are encouraged to
report their concerns as soon as possible
to the Office of Institutional Equity,
their supervisors, divisional human
resources, or the Office of the Dean of
their school.
30
4. Complainants are assured that reports
of harassment will be treated in a con-
fidential manner, within the bounds
of the university’s legal obligation to
respond appropriately to any and all
allegations of harassment.
5. Managers, including faculty manag-
ers, who receive reports of harassment
should contact human resources or the
Office of Institutional Equity for assis-
tance in investigating and resolving
the issue.
6. Managers, including faculty managers,
are required to implement corrective
action where, after completing the
investigation, it is determined correc-
tive action is indicated.
7. The university administration is
responsible for ensuring the consistent
application of this policy.
Procedures for Discrimination Complaints
Brought Within Hopkins
Inquiries regarding procedures on dis-
crimination complaints may be directed to
the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity,
or the Director for Equity Compliance &
Education, 130 Garland Hall, Homewood
Campus, 410-516-8075, 410-516-6225
(TTY).
Nonimmigrant Alien Students
The Peabody Institute enrolls nonim-
migrant alien students and encourages
applications from qualified foreign .
students.
University Policy on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
The Johns Hopkins University rec-
ognizes that alcoholism and other drug
addiction are illnesses that are not eas-
ily resolved by personal effort and may
require professional assistance and treat-
ment. Faculty, staff and students with
alcohol or other drug problems are
encouraged to take advantage of the diag-
nostic, referral, counseling and preventive
services available through the university.
Procedures have been developed to assure
confidentiality of participation, program
files and medical records generated in the
course of these services.
 Substance or alcohol abuse does not
excuse faculty, staff or students from
neglect of their employment or academic
responsibilities. Individuals whose work
or academic performance is impaired as
the result of the use or abuse of alcohol or
other drugs may be required to participate
in an appropriate diagnostic evaluation
and treatment plan. Further, use of alcohol
or other drugs in situations off campus or
removed from university activities that
in any way impairs work performance is
treated as misconduct on campus. Stu-
dents are prohibited from engaging in the
unlawful possession, use or distribution of
alcohol or other drugs on university prop-
erty or as a part of university activities.
It is the policy of The Johns Hopkins
University that the unlawful manufacture,
distribution, dispensation, possession or
use of controlled substances is prohibited
on the university’s property or as a part
of university activities. Individuals who
possess, use, manufacture or illegally
distribute drugs or controlled dangerous
substances are subject to university disci-
plinary action, as well as possible referral
for criminal prosecution. Such disciplinary
action of faculty and staff may, in accor-
dance with this policy, range from a mini-
mum of a three day suspension without
pay to termination of university employ-
ment. Disciplinary action against students
may include expulsion from school.
As a condition of employment, each
faculty and staff member and student
employee must agree to abide by this
policy, and to notify the divisional human
resources director of any criminal convic-
tion related to drug activity in the work-
place (which includes any location where
one is in the performance of duties) within
five (5) days after such conviction. If the
individual is supported by a federal grant
or contract, the university will notify the
supporting government agency within ten
(10) days after receiving notice
Smoke-free Environment
The Johns Hopkins University is a
smoke-free environment, and, as such,
prohibits smoking in all its facilities.
31
Campus Violence
The Johns Hopkins University is
committed to providing a learning and
working environment that is safe to all
members of the university community.
The university will not tolerate violent
acts on its campuses, at off-campus loca-
tions administered by the university, or
in its programs. The policy of “zero toler-
ance” extends not only to actual violent
conduct but also to verbal threats and
intimidation, whether by students, faculty,
staff, or visitors to the university.
The university urges individuals who
have experienced or witnessed incidents
of violence to report them to Campus
Security. Alternatively, students are urged
to report concerns about violence to the
divisional office responsible for student
matters, faculty to the divisional office
responsible for faculty matters, and staff to
the applicable human resources offices.
The university will not permit retali-
ation against anyone who, in good faith,
brings a complaint of campus violence or
serves as a witness in the investigation of a
complaint of campus violence.
Firearms
The possession, wearing, carrying,
transporting, or use of a firearm or pellet
weapon is strictly forbidden on university
premises. This prohibition also extends
to any person who may have acquired
a government-issued permit or license.
Violation of this regulation will result in
disciplinary action and sanctions up to and
including expulsion, in the case of stu-
dents, or termination of employment, in
the case of employees. Disciplinary action
for violations of this regulation will be
the responsibility of the divisional student
affairs officer, dean or director, or the vice
president for human resources, as may be
appropriate, in accordance with applicable
procedures. Any questions regarding this
policy, including the granting of excep-
tions for law enforcement officers and for
persons acting under the supervision of
authorized university personnel, should be
addressed to the appropriate chief campus
security officer.
Availability of Annual Security Report
In accordance with the Crime Aware-
ness and Campus Security Act of 1990,
(Pub.L. 102-26), as amended, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder,
the university issues its Annual Security
Report which describes the security ser-
vices at each of the university’s divisions
and reports crime statistics for each of
the campuses. The report is published on
the university’s web page (www.jhu.edu).
Students, faculty, and staff may obtain a
copy from the web page or the university’s
Security Department, 14 Shriver Hall,
3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore,
Maryland 21218-2689. Telephone: 410-
516-4600.
Photography and Film Rights
Peabody Institute reserves the right
from time to time to take photographs
of and film faculty, staff, and students
engaged in teaching, rehearsals, and per-
formances and other activities at Peabody
for use in Peabody publications such as
catalogs, concert calendars, posters, fliers,
media advertising, admissions recruitment
and development brochures, as well as on
the Peabody web site or for distribution
to state or national media for promotional
purposes.
32
Classes and private lessons will only
be photographed with the permission of
the faculty member; performances and
rehearsals will only be photographed with
the permission of the conductor or director
in charge of the event. Such photographs
will be retained in the Peabody files and
archives and may be used by Peabody
without time limitations or restrictions.
Faculty, students, and staff are made aware
by virtue of this policy that the university
reserves the right to alter photography and
film for creative purposes.
Faculty, students and staff who do not
wish their photographs used in the man-
ner described in this policy statement
should contact the Peabody Communica-
tions Office at 410-659-8100, ext. 3045.
Faculty and students are advised that
persons in public places are deemed by law
to have no expectation of privacy and are
subject to being photographed by third
parties. Johns Hopkins University has no
control over the use of photographs or film
taken by third parties, including, without
limitation, the news media covering uni-
versity activities.

The Bachelor of Music Degree
The Bachelor of Music program at
Peabody Conservatory is designed to offer
gifted students the training to prepare
themselves for careers in performance,
composition, computer music, music edu-
cation, recording arts, and related areas of
professional activity.
Admission Requirements
Prior study. An applicant for admission to
the Bachelor of Music degree program must
be a graduate of an accredited high school
or present evidence of equivalent study.
Test scores. Each applicant from the United
States must present SAT scores. Appli-
cants from countries where the native lan-
guage is other than English are required
to submit a TOEFL score. Scores of at least
550 from the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), at least 213 from the
computer-based version, or 79 from the
Internet-based test are expected of under-
graduate applicants. For students who
need help with the English language, Pea-
body provides an intensive program dur-
ing the first two years of study, which may
extend the length of a program of study.
33
nations must be taken within a one-year
period prior to the time of entrance. Gen-
eral admission requirements as listed for
specific degrees and programs are identical
for all applicants. However, immigra-
tion regulations, varying educational
backgrounds, and financial considerations
make special procedures necessary in
order to help meet the needs of individual
students. The detailed instructions sent
to each applicant should be studied with
utmost care.
Reapplication. An individual may not apply
for admission to a particular degree or
diploma program more than twice.
International students. Although Peabody
does not offer any summer language pro-
gram, international students with unde-
veloped skills are urged to arrive in the
United States during the summer to take
language courses at one of the many insti-
tutions that do offer ESL, including Johns
Hopkins University.
Audition requirements. Undergraduate
applicants are urged to perform their audi-
tions during a personal visit to Peabody,
ideally during the February audition week
reserved by the school exclusively for that
purpose. With the exception of piano,
those undergraduate applicants living
over 300 miles to the west of Baltimore or
over 150 miles to the north or south may
audition by submitting a CD recording.
The CD must be a high quality recording
containing only audition material. Full
information about the time, place, and
circumstances of the recording must be
included. It is also possible to play for a
traveling admissions representative who
will record the audition and present it to
the appropriate faculty during the Febru-
ary audition period. Refer to the Academic
Calendar for dates.
 Applicants for the B.M. in jazz perfor-
mance, organ, percussion, and piano can-
not audition at off-campus audition sites.

the Admissions Office. Pre-screening
recordings are required in certain majors
and programs. Please refer to the Peabody
web site and admissions materials for
details.
Applicants at live auditions may be
asked to perform at sight a composition
selected by the examination committee.
The audition requirements for Music
Education applicants are the same as
those for performance majors, with the
addition of an interview with the Music
Education faculty. Composition majors, in
addition to submitting written materials,
are expected to have a reasonable level of
proficiency in a performance area and in
music theory.
Degree Requirements (B.M.)
Hours and residence. A minimum of 122
semester hours, excluding ensemble, is
required for the attainment of the Bache-
lor of Music degree. Residence is normally
four years, during which time a student
must maintain full-time status for at least
four semesters, accumulating no fewer
than 60 credit hours during those four
semesters.
In all departments, the major teacher
advises students in the selection of appro-
priate courses.
Transfer students. Transfer students must
fulfill a two-year full-time requirement
and obtain a minimum of 60 hours at .
Peabody in order to receive the Bachelor .
of Music degree.
Major area placement. The applied level
of transfer students is determined by the
department at the time of the audition
and validated by the year-end departmen-
tal jury.
34
Required music course credits may be estab-
lished through verifying examinations
taken at Peabody.
Elective music course credits with a grade
of C or better may be transferred pending
approval of the associate dean for academic
affairs and the registrar.
Ensemble credits do not transfer. There is a
two-year minimum requirement. See the
Student Handbook for details.
Liberal arts credits with a grade of C .
or better may be transferred from an
accredited college or university without
examination, pending approval by the .
registrar in consultation with the chair of
the Humanities Department.
Common Curriculum Components—
Regulations and Examinations
Applied Study
Each student taking applied music
must demonstrate satisfactory progress,
as determined by the faculty in the major
and minor applied areas.
Major field: Study in the major field
must continue through the last semester
of enrollment. Advancement is accom-
plished by departmental examination, and
the progress of each student is monitored
by the department at intervals not greater
than two semesters. Each student must
play a performance jury in his or her major
applied area at the end of each school
year. A graduation recital is required of
all degree candidates. Some departments
require a half-recital in the junior year.
109—The freshman jury is considered an
advising aid to the student and his
or her teacher in planning the fol-
lowing year’s study.
209—The purpose of the 209 jury taken
at the end of the sophomore year
(4th semester or credit hour equiva-
lent) is to assess the student’s overall
progress and to determine whether
or not he or she should be .
advised to continue in the chosen
curriculum.
     On the basis of this jury and
the student’s overall record, the jury
committee makes recommendations
for the student’s remaining years
of undergraduate study. It is in the
student’s best interests that a careful
professional assessment and subse-
quent recommendation be made.
309—The 309 jury is taken at the end of
the junior year. A half or full recital
may be accepted in fulfillment of
the 309 requirement, if juried by
the majority of the department.
Where the 309 also includes techni-
cal examination and/or orchestral
excerpts, students shall present those
during the regular jury period.
395—The 395 is the recital for the
Performer’s Certificate. Candidates
for the Bachelor of Music degree
with a music education major also
perform this recital in their junior
year and qualify for the Performer’s
Certificate.
495—The 495 is the senior recital. Jury
content requirements specific to
each department are published in
the Student Handbook.
Composition majors. Students majoring in
composition receive private lessons with a
member of the Composition Department.
Weekly seminars are scheduled with the
entire Composition Department in atten-
dance, providing ongoing departmental
evaluation for each student.
Music History
The music history offering at the under-
graduate level is a required four-semester
sequence of courses covering all periods of
Western art music from classical antiquity
to the present. One semester of Music and
Culture may be substituted for one music
history course.
Pedagogy
In addition to pedagogy courses offered
in specific majors, studio repertoire and
master classes provide for regular discus-
sions on principles of pedagogy, enabling
35
all performance majors to achieve compe-
tency in this area.
Thursday Noon Recital Series
Thursday Noon Recital Series provides
a weekly program throughout the aca-
demic year. Students have the opportunity
to hear a variety of solo and chamber
works, as well as occasional guest per-
formances of music outside the classical
tradition. No classes or lessons that enroll
first-year undergraduates are scheduled
during the Thursday Noon hour, and all
members of the campus community are
encouraged to attend. All first-year stu-
dents (freshmen and transfer students) will
be required to attend 10 Thursday Noon
recitals in their first and second semesters
of residency at Peabody. All second-year
students (sophomores and second-year
transfer students) will be required to com-
plete a concert attendance project during
their third and fourth semesters.
Music Theory/Ear-training/Keyboard
Studies
The music theory program is a three-
year requirement for all students. Entrance
into Music Theory I presumes a firm
knowledge of the fundamentals of music,
i.e., rhythm, meter, scales, intervals, keys,
triads, and inversions. Entering students
who are not strong in this area are encour-
aged to review their preparatory work
during the months prior to the beginning
of the freshman year. Those who are not
able to show proficiency in these areas will
be placed in a special fundamentals review
section for which no credit is given, in
addition to Music Theory I. Ear-training
and sight-singing classes are closely coor-
dinated with the music theory sections
during the first two years of study. Stu-
dents who are not able to show proficiency
in ear-training will be placed into a special
ear-training review section for which no
credit is given, in addition to Ear-training/
Sight-singing I.
The objective of the keyboard studies
program is the development of keyboard
facility for the practical application of con-
cepts of tonal music. Auditions determine
placement in sections that are grouped
according to piano and music theory back-
ground.
Advanced placement in music theory is
possible; students with strong music the-
ory backgrounds may take the Advanced
Placement Undergraduate Exam in
Music Theory during Orientation, which
includes part-writing, analysis, and coun-
terpoint. Samples of this examination are
available from the Admissions Office.
Humanities
Peabody’s humanities courses serve a
vital role in the undergraduate curricu-
lum. Studies in liberal arts and language
complement the structured musical train-
ing of the Conservatory, bridging the
focused life of musical endeavor and the
broader, ever-changing world from which
that life draws shape and meaning. The
humanities curriculum contributes richly
to the undergraduate experience at Pea-
body. It is essential to Peabody’s highest
educational goals, uniquely challenging
Peabody students to aspire to their full
potential as responsible and productive
artists and members of the human com-
munity.
A flexible humanities curriculum
accommodates the individual needs of
undergraduates with varied backgrounds,
skills, interests, and goals. The program
also recognizes the unique situations of
transfers and international students.
Each fall the Humanities Seminar helps
new undergraduates transition into aca-
demic study at Peabody; in subsequent
semesters students complete their humani-
ties distribution requirements by selecting
courses from three different study areas:
Global Perspectives, Language and Litera-
ture, and Historical/Philosophical Studies.
All Peabody undergraduates are encour-
aged to fulfill humanities requirements
with courses offered on the Homewood
campus (the School of Arts and Sciences at
Johns Hopkins University).
Liberal Arts
Students in Peabody’s liberal arts
courses confront issues of relevance to
36
their lives as artists, teachers, and citizens
in the 21st century. Most of the liberal arts
courses are interdisciplinary, encouraging
students to formulate, explore, and express
their ideas. These classes rely heavily on
student input and class participation;
they demand creative thought within the
context of disciplined study. Writing is
emphasized in liberal arts courses.
Foreign Languages
Knowledge of foreign languages opens
personal and professional opportunities for
our students. Our program requires one
year of foreign language study for most
majors; some majors require more. Inter-
ested students can enroll in advanced lan-
guage courses for ongoing, intensive study.
The foreign languages offered on
campus are French, German, and Ital-
ian; Spanish is offered on the Homewood
campus. Students whose linguistic back-
ground and/or professional interests show
sufficient grounds for study of other lan-
guages may petition the foreign language
coordinator for permission. Petitions will
be reviewed by the Humanities Depart-
ment as a whole and judged according to
their merits.
English as a Second Language (ESL)
All incoming international students at
the Peabody Conservatory are interviewed
and tested for English proficiency. Under-
graduates whose English competency is
inadequate for required academic course-
work will be placed in the appropriate
ESL course. ESL placement may prolong a
student’s program; intensive English study
over the summer months is strongly rec-
ommended for students with weak skills
in English.
The JHU Digital Portfolio
A portfolio requirement leads students
to reflect critically on their work in the
humanities and to make deliberate links
between musical and academic study.
Through the years of their undergraduate
study, students assemble work that best
represents the effort and achievement of
their humanities coursework for inclusion
in their personal digital portfolio. The
portfolio project puts broad perspective on
undergraduate studies in humanities; as a
marketing tool, it helps students as they
enter competitive fields of professional
endeavor and as they seek further opportu-
nities for study. The Humanities Depart-
ment works in partnership with the Johns
Hopkins University School of Education
on this initiative.
AP and Transfer Credits
Advanced Placement and transfer deter-
minations are made by the Humanities
Department chair in consultation with
the associate dean for academic affairs.
Superior scores of either a 4 or a 5 on
the Advanced Placement Examinations
administered by the College Board are
accepted for credit in most required study
areas. Transfer credits that fulfill humani-
ties distribution requirements are also
accepted. Relevant documentation must
be forwarded to the Peabody Registrar’s
Office; students should then confer with
the Humanities Department chair to
review their situation.
Placement Examinations in Foreign Language
Examinations for advanced placement
in French, German, and Italian are given
during Orientation Week. Placement
exams in Spanish must be taken on the
Homewood campus.
Electives. Unless otherwise specified, the
term elective means class elective. Ques-
tions about the appropriateness of courses
for elective credit can be directed to the
Registrar’s Office.
Repeated courses. Undergraduate students
who fail any single course more than once
will be required to petition the appropri-
ate department and the Undergraduate
Committee before enrolling for a third
time. The appropriate department may
require additional prerequisites to the
course failed.
Ensemble requirement. All undergradu-
ates participate in performing ensembles,
for which specified blocks of time are set
aside each day.
37
Large ensembles. Bachelor of Music candi-
dates majoring in orchestral instruments
must participate in at least one of the
following large ensembles during each
semester of enrollment for major study:
the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, Pea-
body Concert Orchestra, or Peabody Wind
Ensemble. Audition excerpts for the fall
hearings are available by late spring or
early summer of each year, and students
are urged to prepare themselves thor-
oughly during the intervening summer
months. Large ensemble auditions are held
during Orientation Week, and they are
heard by the conductors and departmental
coordinators. Other faculty members are
invited to attend. Composition majors
have a four-semester requirement in one
of the above-mentioned ensembles or the
Peabody/Hopkins Chorus or Peabody Con-
cert Singers, depending on the student’s
primary applied performance area. All
voice and organ B.M. candidates have a
six-semester choral requirement. For voice
majors, performance of a major opera role
may qualify for large ensemble credit. All
other nonorchestral B.M. candidates have
a four-semester choral requirement.
Small ensembles. String and percussion
majors are required to enroll for four
semesters of chamber music. Woodwind
and brass majors have a one-semester small
ensemble requirement, which may be sat-
isfied over a period of time. To earn credit,
a minimum of 10 certified coaching hours
and a performance must be completed.
After completing the Sight-reading course
in their freshman year, piano majors ful-
fill accompanying and chamber music
requirements specified in the curriculum.
There is no limit to the number of
credits that can be earned for ensemble
participation. However, ensemble credits
beyond those required cannot be counted
as elective credits. Detailed guidelines for
large and small ensemble participation are
found in the Student Handbook.
Advanced Standing
Advanced credit is granted to stu-
dents who demonstrate accomplishment
of college-level work in certain areas.
The amount of credit granted for such
advanced standing will be that listed in
the catalog of entry, and appropriate nota-
tion will be made in the student’s perma-
nent record.
Major applied study. It is not expected
that entering freshmen will be granted
advanced placement in applied study.
Freshmen exhibiting extraordinary prog-
ress and extensive repertoire may, however,
complete their four performance examina-
tions in three years upon recommendation
of the major teacher and approval by the
associate dean for academic affairs.
38
Academic music study. Placement is estab-
lished by examination.
Music theory: All undergraduate appli-
cants will be tested in music theory. The
examination will include rhythm, meter,
scales, intervals, keys, and triads. Place-
ment into Music Theory I presumes a
solid grasp of the basic rudiments of music
theory. This skill level is tested during
the audition period, and students who
show deficiencies are sent study recom-
mendations. They should then retake
the rudiments examination (Speed and
Comprehension Rudiments Examination
—SACRE) during Orientation Week.

B.M. Curriculum—Jazz Performance

The Bachelor of Music program in jazz performance is designed to provide students
with the necessary performance skills to pursue a career in jazz. This goal will be pur-
sued through private study, improvisation workshops, ensemble rehearsals and per-
formances, master classes with prominent guest artists, plus class work in jazz theory,
arranging and composition. Virtually all classes in the program include performance
activity, generally in small combos. Jazz Orchestra, required each semester of enrollment
in the program, will provide performance experience with literature encompassing all of
the jazz idioms.
Students applying for admission into the jazz performance program must pass entrance
auditions on their major instrument of study (trumpet, percussion, double bass, sax, flute,
piano, guitar, voice). A certain number of scholarships are available on a competitive basis.
A general placement test in music theory, dictation, and ear-training will be admin-
istered in accordance with standard Peabody practice. Auditions are held on campus in
Baltimore in February and May according to the Conservatory audition schedule. Due
to the interactive nature of these auditions, it is not possible to audition at off-campus
audition sites.

Ensemble Requirements: Jazz majors are required to participate in the Jazz Orchestra each
semester of enrollment. Students are also encouraged to perform in the department’s small
ensembles.

Additional Requirements
Woodwinds: Jazz woodwind majors have an additional applied study requirement as follows:
Saxophone—one semester each of applied study on flute and clarinet.
Flute—one semester each of applied study on saxophone and clarinet.
Clarinet—one semester each of applied study on flute and saxophone.
Percussionists: Jazz percussionists must acquire adequate skills on mallet instruments and/or
piano in order to demonstrate knowledge of melodic and harmonic materials in jury perfor-
mance. Recitals must include improvisation on vibes.
Bassists: Bassists must complete one year of minor studies on electric bass.

48
Time permitting, all jazz majors are urged to complete at least one semester of minor-level
improvisational studies with a teacher of an instrument other than the student’s principal
instrument.
All jazz majors must submit one large ensemble (17 pieces minimum) composition to be
played in rehearsal or performance before graduation.

B.M. Curriculum—Composition Majors

The undergraduate composition program stresses musical, technical, and conceptual
development as fundamental to the creative process. Diversity of compositional styles
and aesthetic viewpoints is welcomed and encouraged. During the first two years compo-
sitions for solo instruments, voice, and smaller chamber groups are emphasized. Works
of greater scope, including chorus, large chamber ensembles, and small orchestra, are
suggested for the remaining study period.
Composition students have numerous opportunities to hear their works performed in
recitals scheduled by the Composition Department or by individual teachers and stu-
dents in readings by the Peabody Orchestra, the Opera Workshop, and other Peabody
ensembles, by paid performers during Composition Seminar, and informally through
personal contact with the many excellent performers at Peabody. Many of these perfor-
mances are recorded for later listening and study. In the senior year, every composition
major is required to present a complete recital of compositions he or she has composed at
Peabody.
Composition majors are required to take four semesters of minor study of voice or an
instrument, which may include performance in computer music, with at least two con-
secutive semesters on the same instrument.

B.M. Curriculum—Music Education Majors
The Peabody music education major is designed for the gifted performer who also
has a special interest in sharing his or her musical expertise through teaching music in
elementary or secondary schools. The aim of the professional preparation program is to
impart to prospective teachers the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are necessary to
the effective teaching of music.
Graduates of the program will be certified to teach music K-12 in Maryland and in all
other states with which Maryland shares reciprocity.
All students accepted into the music education program must fulfill specific liberal
arts requirements (32 credits) as mandated by state and national accrediting agencies. To
the extent these requirements are not satisfied within the liberal arts core course of study
required for all Peabody undergraduates, students elect courses in communications,
sociology, history, literature, American history, cultural anthropology, math, and science.
Students who enroll in liberal arts courses at institutions other than Peabody should
receive prior approval from the coordinator of music education. All Advanced Place-
ment credits to be used toward fulfilling the liberal arts requirement for music education
students must have a score of 4 or 5. The Music Education Department will determine
which credits may be accepted.
Orchestral instrument music education students qualify for the Performer’s Certificate
in their performance major area. Coursework for the Performer’s Certificate
requires additional study beyond the four-year degree for voice majors.

The Bachelor of Music in recording arts and sciences program is designed to meet the
expanding need for skilled audio technicians, producers, and engineers who possess both
technical expertise and a sophisticated knowledge of music. A five-year double-degree
program, Recording Arts combines an applied performance major with a technical
education in recording technology. Relevant studies in electrical engineering, math, sci-
ence, and computer science are taken at the Whiting School of Engineering of The Johns
Hopkins University on the Homewood campus.
The Recording Arts curriculum includes extensive practical experience, ranging from
jazz, rock, and pop music to grand opera and major choral and orchestral works. In
addition to regular laboratory sessions with live musical groups of all styles, students
participate in recording a wide variety of Peabody events, many of which are open to the
public. All recording majors, with the exception of first-semester freshmen, are expected
to work in the Recording Studios throughout the course of their enrollment as part of
the College Work Study program. In the fifth year, students complete an internship with
local radio, television, and recording companies. The place of internship requires prior
approval from the Recording Arts coordinator, with a minimum of 320 hours required.
Fourteen semester hours of credit in liberal arts are required for the bachelor’s degree
in recording arts and sciences. It is recommended that the requirement be met during
the first six semesters of the program through cross-registration for courses offered in the
School of Arts and Sciences at The Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus. At
least four courses are required: two non-math/science courses approved by the Humani-
ties chair, and two math/science courses approved by the Recording Arts coordinator.
Students who have not been awarded Advanced Placement standing in English must also
take at least four hours of intensive writing courses. Students with Advanced Placement
standing in English need complete only the four required courses in liberal arts.
The degree recital should be performed in the fourth year of the program. If all
requirements have been met, students may then receive the performance diploma in May
of the fourth year prior to completion of the recording internship. Students who also
wish to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the Whiting
School of Engineering may apply to the Peabody/JHU double degree program in their
fourth year. Students must fulfill requirements for the performance degree at Peabody
before entering the double degree program. Simultaneous enrollment in three majors is
not permitted.
Due to credit and scheduling conflicts, it is not possible to combine the recording arts
major with the music education major or the computer music major at Peabody, or any
Double Degree program in electrical engineering or arts and sciences at the Homewood
campus of Johns Hopkins University.

Note: An opera performance course will be selected in conjunction with the opera faculty to
fulfill requirements for the B.M. in voice. A sixth year of enrollment may be required
to complete requirements for the B.M. in recording arts and voice due to scheduling
conflicts.

Five-Year B.M./M.M. Program
Qualified Peabody undergraduates
have the option of applying to complete a
master’s degree in one additional year of
study after they complete their bachelor’s
degree. The selection process takes place
in the junior year and includes academic
and performance elements. Students
selected for the program maintain their
initial financial assistance levels through-
out the five years of study.
Admittance to the B.M./M.M. program
is limited to outstanding performers with
excellent academic records. Minimum
standards for applying are an average of A-
and above in all major lessons and juries,
and grades of B+ or higher in each of the
following areas: two or more semesters
of the core music history courses; four or
more semesters of the core music theory
courses; two or more semesters of ear­
training/sight-singing courses; and two or
more semesters of keyboard skills courses.
In addition, successful applicants will
have a minimum cumulative grade point
average of 3.50 and will have attained the
Dean’s List (a cumulative GPA of 3.67 or
higher) for a minimum of four semesters.
70
Undergraduate students may apply for
admittance to the B.M./M.M. program in
the academic year in which they are sched-
uled to perform their 309 jury or junior
recital (or, for composition majors, in their
junior year) by submitting an application
by April 1 of that year.
Admittance into the B.M./M.M. pro-
gram guarantees the extension of the
student’s initial merit scholarship award
for a fifth year of study.
Admittance into the B.M./M.M. pro-
gram includes the proviso that a student’s
fourth and fifth years of performance or
composition study be with a single studio
teacher unless there are circumstances that
require special arrangements to be made
by the associate dean for academic affairs.
Students who wish to complete a B.M.
in performance or composition and then
earn an M.M. in musicology, music theory
pedagogy, or performance/pedagogy are
also eligible to apply for this program.
The Master of Music Degree
The program leading to the degree of
Master of Music provides for intensive
development of performance skills, exten-
sive knowledge of the literature in the
major field of study, and achievement of a
broadened knowledge of the art.
Admission Requirements
Prior study. A Bachelor of Music degree
or the equivalent from an accredited
institution is a prerequisite for consid-
eration for admission to the Master of
Music degree program. Evidence of a
degree recital in the senior year must be
submitted in the form of a degree recital
program or credit listed on the student’s
transcript. Students holding a Bachelor
of Arts degree must satisfy the require-
ments of the Peabody Bachelor of Music
degree, demonstrated by examination or
by completion of additional undergraduate
courses. As a rule, an applicant must have
achieved an undergraduate GPA of at least
3.0, exclusive of performance credits.
Entrance/placement examinations. Appli-
cants must demonstrate good musicianship,
solid academic skills, and substantive musi-
cal knowledge through performance and
written examinations. All entering students
take placement examinations at the time of
their auditions:
a. written music theory, including
part-writing from figured bass and
harmonic analysis (Roman numerals
and figured bass). Candidates for the
music theory pedagogy degree and
for graduate assistantships in music
theory take an advanced examination
which includes the above and work
in written counterpoint and 20th-
century techniques.
b. ear-training, including melodic and
harmonic dictation.
The following examinations are taken
during the Orientation period at the
beginning of the fall semester:
71
1. Sight-singing: a test in various clefs
will be required only of those students
who passed all written requirements at
the time of their audition. Clefs tested
may include treble, alto, tenor, and
bass.
2. Music theory (late exams and retests for
improved placement)
3. Music history placement exam (classi-
cal antiquity to the present)
4. French, German, and Italian for voice
performance majors: a written first-
year-level comprehension test in each
language. Dictionaries are permitted.
All students entering the M.M. pro-
gram must take the complete music
theory and ear-training placement exami-
nations prior to enrollment in theory
courses.
Applicants from countries where the
native language is other than English are
required to submit a TOEFL score. Scores
of at least 550 from the Test of English as
a Foreign Language (TOEFL), 213 from
the computer-based version, or 79 from
the Internet-based test are expected. For
students who need help with the English
language, Peabody provides an intensive
program during the first two years of
study, which may extend the length of a
program of study.
International students must take an
English placement examination during
Orientation to verify their ability to do
graduate-level academic work in English.
If the examination shows a less than ade-
quate grasp of English, the student will be
placed in one of two levels of intensive ESL
courses offered by the Peabody Conserva-
tory. In some cases, this placement may
prolong a student’s graduate program.
Major field requirements. All entering
students must pass a personal audition,
interview, or examination in the major
field. CDs are acceptable only for inter-
national applicants who cannot audition
in person at Peabody. Acceptance into
a graduate program is conditional until
the satisfactory performance of a personal
audition and successful completion of the
written entrance examinations to be taken
in September. The September validating
auditions have the same criteria as the Feb-
ruary auditions.
Performance. Applicants should prepare
sufficient material to perform a full solo
recital containing works that show a
diversity of periods and styles. All major
works must be complete (to include all
movements). Detailed audition reper-
toire requirements are available from the
Admissions office and the Peabody web
site at www.peabody.jhu.edu/admissions.
Pre-screening recordings are required for
some majors.
Performance/Pedagogy. In addition to the
normal audition material for the perfor-
mance major, the applicant for the peda-
gogy emphasis will be scheduled for an
interview with the pedagogy faculty.
Pedagogy emphasis is currently avail-
able in the areas of harp, guitar, piano,
violin, viola, double bass, and voice. The
interview will include a review of the
applicant’s demonstrated interest and
experience in teaching, and a discussion of
professional and program goals.
Composition. The graduate program
assumes reasonable compositional attain-
ment and experience as a prerequisite
for admission. Applicants are expected to
have the bachelor’s degree in composition,
or the equivalent. A portfolio of mature
works for various media for pre-screen-
ing by the composition faculty should be
submitted to the Admissions Office by the
application deadline.
Conducting. The audition process con-
sists of two rounds. Conducting applica-
tions and materials, including an audition
DVD, are due in the Admissions Office by
December 1. VHS cassettes in NTSC for-
mat can be accepted. The recording should
consist of three to four excerpts, each two
to three minutes in length, of contrasting
standard repertoire demonstrating a vari-
72
ety of styles and tempi. The camera should
be placed at the back of the orchestra with
the focus on the front of the conductor. A
full-size orchestra is not required; a quin-
tet with piano would suffice, for example.
The applicant’s name and a written log
of the excerpts with timings should be
included. The log should not be video-
taped. Appropriate dress is expected.
Round two will take place during the
February audition week and will consist of
a live audition with orchestra. Candidates
who have been selected for the live audi-
tion will be notified in January and receive
a repertoire list. Students will be expected
to have all materials fully prepared. Inter-
views and testing in addition to the live
auditions may be required for acceptance.
Computer music. Applicants should ordi-
narily have completed two semesters of an
undergraduate course in computer music
or the equivalent, and demonstrate com-
petency in a high-level programming
language (C, Java, Pascal, or comparable).
Deficiencies may be corrected by reme-
dial study at the Conservatory. Specific
entrance requirements for each of the three
tracks follow:
1.  Composition. The program assumes rea-
sonable compositional attainment and
experience as a prerequisite for admis-
sion. Applicants are expected to have
the bachelor’s degree in composition or
the equivalent, and to submit a portfo-
lio of mature works for various media.
The portfolio should include some
works involving computer music.
2.  Performance/Concert Production. Appli-
cants should demonstrate the equiva-
lent of a personal audition and prepare
sufficient material to perform a full
solo recital. The audition should
include some works involving com-
puter music.
3. Research/Technology. Applicants are
expected to have the bachelor’s degree
in music or the equivalent, and to
demonstrate knowledge and experience
in the area of music-related research
 or technology they intend to pursue.
Although applicants without a music
degree will be considered, additional
study may be required to meet the
Conservatory’s stringent music exit
requirements. This submission may
take the form of a project report or
research paper.
Music education. An applicant must have
completed a bachelor’s degree in music
education and be qualified for initial
certification as an elementary or second-
ary school teacher. An interview with the
Music Education department will include
a review of the applicant’s musical and
educational background and discussion of
professional goals, and may include a brief
audition in the applicant’s major area of
performance.
Musicology. During the admissions
process applicants must demonstrate an
aptitude for scholarly research, and it is
recommended that they have a reading
knowledge of German, French, or Italian.
Four copies of a writing sample, such as a
term paper or article on a musical subject,
must be submitted to the Admissions
Office by the application deadline. The
entrance procedure also includes a personal
interview with members of the musicol-
ogy faculty.
Music theory pedagogy. Applicants should
possess a bachelor’s degree in music and
a minimum of 18 credit hours in under­
graduate music theory, preferably includ-
ing at least one semester each of form and
analysis and tonal counterpoint, and a
demonstrable level of keyboard and aural
proficiency. An interview will be scheduled
during Audition Week at which applicants
will be asked to speak about their interest
in music theory pedagogy, analyze music,
and demonstrate keyboard skills.
Degree Requirements (M.M.)
Residence. For all majors except music
education, completion of a Master of
Music degree program will require full-
73
time attendance for a minimum of one
year beyond receipt of the Bachelor of
Music degree. Exceptions to this residency
requirement may be made upon approval
of the Graduate Committee, with consid-
eration given to previous experience, pro-
fessional record, and demonstrated ability.
The application of previously earned
coursework credits does not remove the
full-time residency requirement for the
graduate degree. Students who have com-
pleted all program requirements except
the master’s essay (required of musicology
majors), the music theory pedagogy proj-
ect (required of music theory pedagogy
majors), or portfolio/thesis (computer
music majors), must register for Degree-
in-Progress.
Transfer credits. A maximum of six
semester hours of graduate study (course-
work) completed at other accredited insti-
tutions may be applied to the Master of
Music degree at Peabody, with the review
and approval of the Musicology and Music
Theory department chairs. Credit must
have been earned within five years prior
to first graduate degree registration at
Peabody.
Previously earned Peabody credits. Stu-
dents may petition the associate dean for
academic affairs to have credits for upper
division or graduate courses which were
over and above the minimum requirements
for a previous Peabody degree applied to
the M.M. degree program. No coursework
that was required or used to fulfill mini-
mum credit requirements for an undergrad-
uate degree may be applied to a subsequent
graduate degree. Work completed in the
Graduate Extension program may transfer
to the M.M. program upon satisfaction
of all other admission requirements. This
includes credit for properly juried recitals.
All previously earned credits applied to the
M.M. degree must carry grades of B or bet-
ter, and must have been earned not more
than five years prior to initial registration
in this degree program.
Advanced placement. Advanced place-
ment may be awarded in areas of required
coursework, where warranted by place-
ment examination results.
Review courses. Deficiencies in the areas
of music theory, ear-training, or music his-
tory must be corrected by remedial study
at the Conservatory. Please note: Students
in remedial English cannot complete their
history requirement in their first year of
study. Review courses do not count toward
fulfillment of degree requirements, and
the grades earned are not calculated in
the student’s GPA; however, the hours
are counted as part of the course load for
tuition determination. Students must
satisfy any review requirements in music
theory or music history before enrolling in
other graduate-level courses in these fields.
Program completion. All requirements
for the Master of Music degree must be
completed within five years of the date of
initial registration.
Program components
Music coursework. The core curriculum
consists of Music Bibliography and courses
in music theory and musicology. All
full-time M.M. students must complete
Bibliography in their first year of study,
with the exception of students placed
into English as a Second Language Level
I, who may defer Bibliography to their
second year of study. Other coursework
requirements for the M.M. degree include
repertoire studies and such electives as are
considered appropriate by the department
in which the student is majoring. These
courses shall not be the same ones taken as
part of the undergraduate curriculum.
Foreign languages. Foreign language
proficiency is required for the Master of
Music degrees in musicology and voice
performance (see individual curriculum
descriptions). Coursework undertaken to
remove deficiencies in foreign language is
governed by the same regulations as are
other review courses.
74
Electives. Unless otherwise specified,
the term elective means class elective.
Ensemble credits cannot be counted as
elective credits. Only courses designated
as “G” (Graduate Elective) in the Master
Schedule of Classes may be used to fulfill
graduate elective requirements. Questions
about the appropriateness of courses for
elective credit can be directed to the regis-
trar and associate dean for academic affairs.
All M.M. students are encouraged to
seek employment relevant to their field of
study while enrolled in a degree program.
The employment must be designated and
structured to enhance the student’s educa-
tional program. The employment must be
approved by the student’s studio teacher
who must ensure its academic relevance.
The employment can be established as
an elective course taken for ½ credit each
semester or for one credit in the sum-
mer. Employment can fulfill a maximum
of three elective credits and may not be
applied to fulfill major or core require-
ments.
Please note: International students can-
not begin off-campus employment until
they receive written approval from the
international student advisor for Curricu-
lar Practical Training (CPT) or Optional
Practical Training. Students in F-1 sta-
tus must have been lawfully enrolled in
school on a full-time basis for at least one
academic year before they are eligible for
practical training. CPT must be under-
taken prior to the completion of a course
of study.
Ensembles. Master of Music candidates
majoring in orchestral instruments must
participate in the Peabody Symphony
Orchestra, Peabody Concert Orchestra,
or Peabody Wind Ensemble during each
semester of enrollment for major study.
Master of Music candidates in organ are
required to take two semesters of a choral
ensemble in the first year of residence.
Composition majors have a two-semester
large ensemble requirement which may be
satisfied by participation in either a choral
or instrumental large ensemble during
the first year of residence. All graduate
instrumental majors in the M.M. program
participate in one or two semesters of
chamber music as required by the individ-
ual program (this may be studio accompa-
nying for pianists). Detailed guidelines for
ensemble participation are published in
the Student Handbook.
Recitals and compositions. A full recital is
required of all performance and conduct-
ing majors. In individual instances, a
teacher or department may recommend a
chamber music recital, second solo recital,
or combination thereof. Any performance
major not presenting a degree recital in a
given year will be scheduled for a graded
hearing before the departmental faculty
at the end of the spring semester. In lieu
of a recital, candidates for the degree in
composition must submit a portfolio of
works, including an orchestral work of
approximately 10 minutes’ duration, to
the composition faculty by April 1 of the
year in which they intend to graduate.
The portfolio must contain compositions
written during the student’s time of study
at Peabody. Registration for major study
is required in the semester in which the
recital or portfolio is presented.
75
Master’s essay. A master’s essay is
required for students majoring in musicol-
ogy. Candidates who anticipate graduation
at the conclusion of the academic year
must submit by April 1, two clean copies,
incorporating all additions and correc-
tions, for placement in the Arthur Fried-
heim Library.
Program notes. All candidates for the
Master of Music in performance must
write original program notes with a
bibliography for their degree recital. Pro-
gram notes must be at least 750 words
in length, not including translations or
the bibliography. The student must sub-
mit written program notes initialed by
the studio teacher to the Office of Aca-
demic Affairs no later than February 15
of the year in which he or she expects to
graduate. All program notes must also be
submitted electronically to the Office of
Academic Affairs. Program notes must
be approved by a faculty member of the
Graduate Committee or the associate dean
for academic affairs. The approved pro-
gram notes for the Master of Music recital
are a graduation requirement.

Piano: Ensemble Arts With a Concentration in Vocal Accompanying
The Master of Music degree program in Ensemble Arts: Vocal Accompanying is
designed for pianists wishing to expand their musical experience to include collaborative
playing in the study of art song, vocal chamber music, opera, and oratorio. The curricu-
lum provides advanced technical study while emphasizing the linguistic skills necessary
for comprehensively coaching opera and song literature. Versatility is stressed, with a
practical eye towards employment opportunities for skilled keyboard players in a variety
of areas including the professional recital accompanist, opera coach, church musician,
choral/symphonic pianist and musical theater keyboardist.
The degree program normally requires a minimum of two years to complete. In
addition to two degree recitals, the curriculum requires the development of repertoire,
attained through the performance of non-degree collaborative vocal recitals and partici-
pation as an opera, studio, and/or classroom pianist.
All candidates must meet language and diction standards in English and two of the
following three languages: Italian, German, and French. These requirements may be
satisfied by successful completion of a departmental exam in translation and pronuncia-
tion, or by completing the appropriate diction course and the equivalent of one year of
college-level study in each language. Diction courses include Singing in Italian, Singing
in German, and Singing in French.

M.M. Curriculum—Performance/Pedagogy
This area of graduate focus is designed for students accepted to a performance major
who wish to broaden their study to include particular attention to the concurrent devel-
opment of pedagogical skills. Performance/Pedagogy is not a separate degree program,
but a pedagogy emphasis within the student’s M.M. performance program. Courses
specific to the area of pedagogical concentration fulfill the elective requirements in the
M.M. degree program. Pedagogy emphasis is currently available in the areas of harp,
guitar, piano, violin, viola, double bass, and voice. In addition to the usual perfor-
mance major requirements (see M.M. curricula on previous pages), the curriculum is
designed to provide maximum opportunity for the student to develop his/her teaching
skills—through classwork, observation, and practice—using the combined resources
of the Institute’s Conservatory and Preparatory faculties and programs. The admission
process includes an audition before the major performance faculty plus an interview with
members of the pedagogy faculty. Individuals approved to embark upon this study are
assigned a three-person advisory group. The required two-credit elective is waived for
guitar majors who are instead required to enroll in Guitar Seminar and Guitar Literature
and for voice majors due to language requirements. Performance/Pedagogy candidates
majoring in orchestral instruments must participate in the Peabody Symphony Orches-
tra or Peabody Concert Orchestra during each semester of residency.

M.M. Curriculum—Composition Majors
The Master of Music degree program in Composition normally requires a minimum
of two years to complete. Coursework in the master’s program will be chosen with the
advice and approval of the Composition Department, in keeping with the candidate’s
background and special interests, to ensure a solid and comprehensive training. Skill in
the utilization of various chamber and choral resources is emphasized, as is composition
for orchestra in larger forms. The study of computer music and orchestration must be
included in the curriculum, unless previous experience in these areas has been
documented.
Composition students have numerous opportunities to hear their works performed, in
recitals scheduled by the Composition Department or by individual teachers or students,
in readings by the Peabody Orchestra, the Opera Workshop, and other Peabody ensem-
bles, and through personal contact with the many excellent performers at Peabody. Many
of these are recorded for later listening and study.

M.M. Curriculum—Computer Music Majors

The Master of Music degree program in this field prepares students for advanced work
in areas of music where technology occupies an essential role. It normally requires a min-
imum of two years to complete. Students specialize in one of three tracks: Composition,
Performance/Concert Production, and Research/Music Technology.
The Composition track allows special concentration in composing music utilizing com-
puter music systems. Students will work with the latest digital synthesis hardware and
software and learn to develop idiomatic composing techniques which take advantage
of the unique capabilities of digital music technology. Students in this track will take
instruction in composition. They must submit, by April 1 of the year they intend to
graduate, a portfolio of compositions created during the time of study. This should
include a variety of works in the computer music medium, with a substantive work of
at least ten minutes duration, and at least one work that uses acoustic instrument(s)
and/or voice(s). Please refer to departmental guidelines for exact composition port­folio
requirements.

90
 The Performance/Concert Production track allows students to gain the skills and sensibili-
ties necessary to become expert performers with the new technology. The term “perfor-
mance” may include real-time control of musical parameters using existing technology
in an expressive way, performance on electronic instruments such as synthesizers,
performance on conventional instruments combined with electronics, and concert pro-
duction techniques, depending on the student’s background and needs.
Students in this track will take instruction in performance. In the year they intend to
graduate, they will present a full program, which may be entirely computer music, or
combined with acoustic instrument(s) and voice(s). Please refer to departmental guide-
lines for exact performance concert requirements.
The Research/Music Technology track is designed for students pursuing musically related
research or developing new music technology. Students in this track may work with
practicing composers and performers in developing technology, such as real-time per-
formance systems in which computers are able to follow a conductor’s expressive tempo
variations during a concert. Research topics in psychoacoustics and perception and in
music-related computer science may also be pursued. Students in this track will have a
document advisor analogous to the instructor in composition or performance mentioned
above, and will submit by April 1 of the year they intend to graduate a thesis document-
ing their research or new technology. Please refer to departmental guidelines for exact
research portfolio requirements.
Cooperative Interaction Among Tracks. Students in the three areas of concentration are
expected to work closely together. Specifically, students in the Composition area are
expected to create at least one composition that requires the assistance of students in the
performance and research/technology areas. Students in the Performance/Concert Produc-
tion area are similarly required to perform or produce at least one piece by a student in the
composition area that requires assistance from a student in the research/technology area.
Students in the Research/Technology area are expected to create at least one technological
advance that is applied by a student in the performance or composition area.

The Doctor of Musical Arts Degree
The objective of the program leading to
the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts is to
provide a select number of qualified stu-
dents with the highest level of professional
development in the art of musical perfor-
mance or the craft of musical composition,
within a context of comprehensive under-
standing of the common body of theoreti-
cal and historical knowledge and of the
literature specific to the applied major.
The Doctor of Musical Arts degree
certifies that its holder is a sophisticated
professional performer or composer who
is able to exercise professional leadership,
using his or her skills and understanding
to expand existing horizons of knowledge
and perception.
Admission Requirements
Prior study. A Master of Music degree or
its demonstrated equivalent is a prerequi-
site for admission to the Doctor of Musical
Arts degree program. Equivalency may be
validated by examination or by comple-
tion of additional prerequisite courses.
Evidence of a graduate-level degree recital
must be submitted in the form of a recital
program or credit listed on the applicant’s
transcript. Professional experience is
highly recommended as a desirable qualifi-
cation for study at the doctoral level. Pos-
session of an M.M. degree from Peabody
does not necessarily grant admission to the
D.M.A. program.
Major field requirements. All entering
students must pass a personal audition
and interview at the regularly scheduled
audition period in February. D.M.A. audi-
tions are not held in May. It is not possible
to audition for the D.M.A. program by
recording.
Performance. Applicants should prepare
sufficient material to perform a full solo
recital containing works which show a
diversity of periods and styles. All major
works must be complete (to include all
movements).
97
Audition requirements by major are
available on the Peabody web site at
www.peabody.jhu.edu/admissions or from
the Admissions Office. Pre-screening
recordings are required in certain majors.
Composition. The D.M.A. program
assumes considerable compositional
attainment and experience as a prerequi-
site for admission. Applicants are expected
to have the M.M. degree in composition,
or the equivalent. A portfolio of mature
works for various media for pre-screen-
ing by the composition faculty must be
submitted to the Admissions Office by the
application deadline.
Computer music. Although there is no
doctorate in computer music, it is possible
to emphasize computer music studies in
conjunction with another major, such as
composition, conducting, or performance.
In this case, approval of both departments
is required for acceptance into the D.M.A.
program. Entrance requirements, elective
studies, composition portfolio contents,
and recital contents must be approved by
both departments, and individual instruc-
tion is required in both departments on an
alternating basis.
Conducting. The audition process consists
of two rounds. Conducting applications
and materials, including an audition
DVD, are due in the Admissions Office by
December 1. VHS cassettes in NTSC for-
mat can be accepted. The recording should
consist of three to four excerpts, each two
to three minutes in length, of contrasting
standard repertoire demonstrating a vari-
ety of styles and tempi. The camera should
be placed at the back of the orchestra with
the focus on the front of the conductor. A
full-size orchestra is not required; a quin-
tet with piano would suffice, for example.
The applicant’s name and a written log
of the excerpts with timings should be
included. The log should not be video-
taped. Appropriate dress is expected.
 Round two will take place during the
February audition week and will consist of
a live audition with orchestra. Candidates
who have been selected for the live audi-
tion will be notified in January and receive
a repertoire list. Students will be expected
to have all materials fully prepared. Inter-
views and testing in addition to the live
auditions may be required for acceptance.
Entrance examinations. Applicants must
demonstrate good musicianship, solid
academic skills, and extensive musical
and professional knowledge. At the time
of auditions, all applicants take music
theory examinations, written and aural.
These examinations are used to evaluate
the applicant both for admissions and
for placement in graduate music theory
courses. They assess knowledge and skill
in the following areas: a) harmony, analy-
sis, tonal counterpoint and 20th-century
techniques; b) melodic and harmonic
dictation; c) sight-singing in four clefs:
treble, alto, tenor, bass.
During the audition period, all appli-
cants must take a music history exam in
which they write essays chosen from a list
of topics in the history of Western music.
The exams are graded for knowledge of
music history, ability to organize and
present ideas, and command of written
English. This exam is used to evaluate the
applicant for admission.
D.M.A. students who have not success-
fully completed a graduate-level course
in counterpoint (including students who
earned the undergraduate degree at Pea-
body) are strongly advised to take a gradu-
ate counterpoint course in preparation for
their D.M.A. music theory examination.
Writing sample. All applicants must
submit evidence of their research and
writing skills in the form of an essay writ-
ten within the previous two years. This
essay, of 1,500 or more words, should be
on a musical subject of the applicant’s
choice. It must be typed and supported by
citations and references. The essay serves
as the basis of the D.M.A. interview and
should adequately reflect the applicant’s
98
academic capability. Of particular interest
to the D.M.A. interviewing committee
is evidence of a capacity for independent
thinking, initiative, and ability to pres-
ent, develop, and support a thesis or point
of view. Four copies of the essay must be
submitted to the Admissions Office by
the application deadline. If the essay is not
submitted by the application deadline,
the application is considered incom-
plete, and the applicant must wait until
the next audition period for admission
consideration. Graduates of other Pea-
body programs are not exempt from this
requirement.
Interview. At the time of audition, the
D.M.A. applicant will be scheduled for an
interview with members of the Peabody
faculty. The purpose of this 15- to
20-minute interview is to ascertain the
applicant’s suitability for the academic
aspects of the D.M.A. program. The meet-
ing also provides an opportunity for the
faculty to assess the applicant’s verbal
skills, and to discuss the applicant’s partic-
ular interests and motivation in pursuing
the degree. A portion of the interview
will relate to the essay submitted with the
application.
Degree Requirements (D.M.A.)
Residence. The program of study for the
Doctor of Musical Arts degree will nor-
mally require an attendance of two years
beyond receipt of the master’s degree. The
doctoral candidate must attend full time
for at least one year (minimum of 18 to
maximum of 36 credits for one academic
year, including 8 credits of private study),
and may complete the remainder of the
requirements on a part-time basis. Con-
tinuous registration each year in courses,
applied studies, or Degree-in-Progress is
required. Regulations governing inter-
ruption of study apply uniformly to all
students (see p. 26, Interruption of
Degree Work).
Transfer credits. A maximum of 12
semester hours of graduate study (course-
work) completed at other accredited
institutions may be applied to the Doctor
of Musical Arts degree, with the approval
of the associate dean for academic affairs,
after examination of placement results and
consultation with the entrance interview
committee. Credit must have been earned
within five years prior to first graduate
degree registration at Peabody and must
carry grades of B or better.
Previously earned Peabody credits. Stu-
dents may petition the associate dean for
academic affairs to have credits for courses
and/or ensembles that were over and above
the minimum requirements for a previous
Peabody degree applied to the D.M.A.
degree program. No coursework that was
required or used to fulfill minimum credit
requirements for a previous degree may be
applied to a subsequent graduate degree.
Work completed in the Graduate Exten-
sion program, beyond the M.M. degree
level, may transfer to the D.M.A. pro-
gram, upon satisfaction of all other admis-
sion requirements. All previously earned
credits applied to the D.M.A. degree must
carry grades of B or better, and must have
been earned not more than five years prior
to initial registration in the program.
Review courses. Deficiencies in ear-train-
ing and music theory identified during
the entrance/placement examinations must
be corrected in the first year of enrollment
and may be corrected either by remedial
study or by re-examination. Students may
not enroll in graduate courses in these
areas until deficiencies are remedied.
Review courses carry zero credit and do
not count toward fulfillment of degree
requirements, but the grades earned are
calculated in the GPA and the hours are
counted as part of the course load which
determines full-time status.
Program completion. All requirements for
the Doctor of Musical Arts degree must
be completed within seven academic years
from the date of initial D.M.A. registra-
tion. Exceptions to this regulation may be
granted by the D.M.A. Committee only
under extraordinary circumstances.
99
Curriculum Components (D.M.A.)—
Requirements and Examinations
Advisory Committees
Academic advisory committee. By the last
day of classes of the third semester of study
the student shall submit to the associate
dean for academic affairs for approval the
names of a three-person faculty advisory
committee, in addition to the major
teacher. These faculty should represent
areas of musicology, music theory, and
an optional area of study (humanities,
computer music, etc.). The student will
have approached the potential advisors
beforehand. This committee shall be avail-
able to the student for consultation and
advice concerning curriculum and possible
dissertation or paper topics. Members of
this committee also shall submit appropri-
ate questions for the written qualifying
examinations and sit on the oral qualifying
examination committee.
Major field advisory committee. Each stu-
dent will be assigned a major field advi-
sory committee consisting of three faculty
members appointed by the associate dean
for academic affairs and including the
major teacher. This committee is respon-
sible for approving the student’s repertoire
list, approving and jurying all the stu-
dent’s recitals, and submitting questions
for the major field qualifying examination.
Major applied study. Individual studio
work includes in-depth repertoire devel-
opment, and culminates in a series of
recitals or final projects, depending on the
chosen path of study. D.M.A. candidates
may elect alternative programs of study
in some areas (see individual curriculum
descriptions).
Ensembles. D.M.A. students may per-
form in large ensembles on a space-avail-
able basis after students with an orchestral
requirement have been seated.
Repertoire requirement. Upon entry to the
program, each candidate must submit a
repertoire list to the department faculty
indicating works memorized and works
performed. At the end of each year in
the program, the candidate will submit
an updated repertoire list reflecting new
works studied and performed.
Recitals. A minimum of three recitals is
required of all performance majors. (See
pages 103-112 for individual majors.)
Any student not playing a degree recital
in a year of residency will be scheduled for
a graded hearing before the departmental
faculty at the end of the spring semester.
Program Content
1. Performance
a. One program may be specialized in
content, if the others are varied.
b. One ensemble program may be pre-
sented.
c. One lecture-recital may be presented
subject to prior approval by the major
field advisory committee.
2. Conducting
The first two recitals must be chosen
from the following three options:
a. A full-length program given on
campus
b. A full-length program presented at
some other venue while the student
is in residence
c. A combination of performances
presented during the student’s resi-
dency that total at least 60 minutes.
This must be approved by both the
student’s advisor and the Ensemble
Office.
Each performance must be videotaped
and copies provided by the student to
each committee member who is grading.
The student’s major field committee must
approve each program prior to perfor-
mance, and all students must complete the
necessary paperwork for scheduling and
registration as required by the Concert
Office in consultation with the Ensemble
Office.
Program approval. Each program must
be approved by the candidate’s major
field advisory committee and the associate
dean for academic affairs. A copy of the
approved program must be received by the
Concert Office six weeks before the recital.
(Students are respons­ible for obtaining the
necessary signatures.)
100
Program notes. The candidate must sup-
ply program notes of publishable quality
before each program is approved. These
should be approximately one page in
length, and must be approved by a repre-
sentative of the musicology faculty. The
program submitted to the candidate’s
committee must carry the appropriate
signature indicating such approval.
Lecture-recital. The lecture-recital must
be based on an analytical or historical
document approved by the candidate’s
academic advisory committee and by the
Graduate Document Committee. The
program submitted to the Concert Office
must carry the appropriate signatures
indicating such approval. The recital is
juried by the members of the candidate’s
major field and academic advisory com-
mittee. The document may be filed with
the Academic Affairs Office at any point
prior to April 1 of the semester in which
the candidate expects to graduate and
must be completed prior to presentation
of the lecture-recital.
Registration. It is advisable for the doc-
toral student to register for recitals when
enrolled full time. The student must be
registered for private study during the
semester in which a recital is presented.
Exceptions to this include the chamber
music recital (chamber music registration)
and lecture-recital (lecture-recital registra-
tion). Any degree recital must be approved
by the associate dean for academic affairs
and Concert Office (see Program Approval
above and Student Handbook).
Portfolio of compositions (composition majors).
Content. Composition majors must sub-
mit to the composition faculty, by April
1 of the year in which they intend to
graduate, a work of major proportions as
to length and medium and a substantial
research paper on a topic approved by the
candidate’s Academic Advisory Commit-
tee. These together constitute the final
document for composition. In addition,
the portfolio must contain one or more
smaller works. The specific requirements
of these works will be determined in each
case in consultation with the composition
faculty.
Registration. Candidates who are
enrolled full time may register for the
portfolio of compositions without addi-
tional fee; non-full-time candidates will
be charged fees on a credit-hour basis.
Students wishing to delay submission
of the portfolio beyond the first week of
the semester following registration must
make application through the Office of
Academic Affairs and must be registered
for private study during the semester in
which the portfolio is actually presented.
No additional fees will be charged for a
delayed submission.
Submission of portfolio. The student
should submit the completed portfolio
to the composition faculty, at the same
time advising the Office of Academic
Affairs that this is being done. Following
acceptance of the portfolio by the faculty,
the student should prepare a final version,
incorporating any modifications which
may have been requested, and deliver the
portfolio with the official acceptance sheet
signed by members of the composition
faculty to the Office of Academic Affairs
for presentation to the library.
Coursework. Each student shall take a
minimum of six hours in musicology and
six hours in music theory, plus electives in
repertoire and other studies, including a
minimum of three hours of upper division
coursework in humanities at the School of
Arts and Sciences of The Johns Hopkins
University or another accredited institu-
tion. Minimum requirements vary depend-
ing on the major. See the curriculum
listings for individual programs, pages
103-112.
Musicology Colloquium. Required of all
D.M.A. students, the colloquium provides
opportunities to hear guest lecturers speak
on topics of their expertise.
Language. Doctoral students will be
required to demonstrate proficiency in one
language besides English, the language
to be approved by the department and
101
competency determined by the results of a
reading examination. As a rule, the foreign
languages must be chosen from among
French, German, or Italian. With approval
of the associate dean for academic affairs,
other languages may fulfill the require-
ment when so indicated by the special
nature of the student’s intended research.
In addition to the reading examination,
voice majors must demonstrate diction
competency in all three languages (French,
German, Italian), conversational ability in
one of the three languages, and functional
knowledge of the other two.
Electives. Unless otherwise specified, the
term elective means class elective. Ensem-
ble credits cannot be counted as elective
credits. Questions about the appropriate-
ness of courses for elective credit can be
directed to the associate dean for academic
affairs.
All D.M.A. students are encouraged to
seek employment relevant to their field
of study while enrolled in this degree
program. The employment must be
designated and structured to enhance
the student’s educational program. The
employment must be approved by the stu-
dent’s studio teacher who must ensure its
academic relevance. The employment can
be established as an elective course taken
for 1/2 credit each semester or for one
credit in the summer. Employment can
fulfill a maximum of three elective credits
and may not be applied to fulfill major or
core requirements.
Please note: International students cannot
begin off-campus employment until they
receive written approval from the interna-
tional student advisor for Curricular Prac-
tical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical
Training. Students in F-1 status must have
been lawfully enrolled in school on a full-
time basis for at least one academic year
before they are eligible for practical train-
ing. CPT must be undertaken prior to the
completion of a course of study.
Preliminary oral examination. The
third-semester preliminary oral examina-
tion is intended to demonstrate a student’s
ability to speak about and respond to
questions on a single, substantial piece
of repertoire, chosen by the student and
approved by members of the D.M.A.
Committee. The 25-minute preliminary
oral examination consists of:
1. an examination on selected repertoire
2. a listening portion
The intention of the preliminary oral exam-
ination is to identify areas in which the stu-
dent may need additional guidance.
Admission to candidacy. A student is
not admitted to official candidacy for the
D.M.A. degree until he or she has satisfac-
torily passed all qualifying examinations.
In order to be eligible to take the qualify-
ing examinations the student must have
completed all coursework, at least two
recitals, and satisfied the language require-
ment. Piano majors must have completed
the literature exam.
The qualifying examinations must be
taken within one calendar year after com-
pletion of the required coursework and
shall consist of:
1. Written examinations in musicology,
music theory, and the literature of the
major field. Detailed information on the
music theory qualifying examination
may be found in the D.M.A.
Guidelines, available in the Office of
Academic Affairs.
2. The final oral examination shall be the
last of the comprehensive exams and
will cover many facets of the student’s
major field as well as a comprehensive
professional perspective (see D.M.A.
Guidelines).
Lecture-Recital. For most D.M.A. can-
didates, the final recital will be a lecture-
recital. The lecture-recital will be based
on an analytical or historical essay written
under the guidance of a member of the
candidate’s academic advisory committee.
This essay must be completed prior to
the presentation of the lecture-recital.
102
Candidates will submit two clean copies of
their essay, incorporating all additions and
corrections, for placement in the Arthur
Friedheim Library. Details concerning the
scope of the project, topic approval, the
format of the lecture-recital, and the time-
table of the process may be found in the
D.M.A. Guidelines.
Dissertation. In fields where candidates
for the D.M.A. degree have a choice of
writing a dissertation, they must choose a
musical subject which has been approved
by the Graduate Document Committee.
Dissertations may deal with any aspect of
music, e.g., analysis, theory, history, criti-
cism, performance practice, development
of a critical edition, etc. For composition
majors, the dissertation will be a composi-
tion of major proportions as to length and
medium (e.g., a symphony) accompanied
by a substantial written commentary on it.
See also the statement under Portfolio of
compositions (composition majors).
Oral defense of dissertation: An oral
defense of the dissertation must immedi-
ately follow completion of the disserta-
tion, and must take place at least two
weeks prior to the date of submission of
the dissertation to the library. Detailed
procedures are available in the D.M.A.
Guidelines.
Curriculum options. The following
cur­riculum options are available for the
D.M.A. program:
1.  Option A—dissertation
2. Option B—lecture-recital and
document
3. Option C—offered in piano (Ensemble
Arts) and voice (Performance/

The Performer’s Certificate
The Performer’s Certificate is designed
primarily for those undergraduate students
with outstanding musical and performance
ability who do not choose to include the
academic component of the Bachelor of
Music curriculum. Majors are available
in guitar, orchestral instruments, organ,
piano, and voice.
A student who has matriculated into the
Performer’s Certificate program may later
change to the Bachelor of Music degree
program with the approval of the associate
dean for academic affairs and the Under-
graduate Committee.
Admission Requirements
The admission requirements for the
Performer’s Certificate are the same as
those for the Bachelor of Music degree.
Students should consult the appropriate
section of this catalog and the Peabody
web site at www.peabody.jhu.edu/
admissions for complete information.
Pre-screening recordings are required for
some majors.
Certificate Requirements
The Performer’s Certificate is normally
a three-year course of study, with a mini-
mum residency of two years. At least 80
semester hours of course credit are needed
for the completion of requirements. Can-
didates must participate in ensembles
throughout their period of study.

Graduate Performance Diploma
The Graduate Performance Diploma
program is designed to meet the needs of
highly accomplished graduate-level per-
formers who wish to pursue a more perfor-
mance-intensive goal than represented by
the M.M. or D.M.A. Majors are available
in all areas of performance, including
opera and chamber music.
Admission Requirements
Prior study. A Performer’s Certificate,
bachelor’s degree in music, or equivalent
from a recognized institution is required.
Audition requirements. Applicants must
perform selections from a full recital pro-
gram for the applied department at the
regularly scheduled audition periods in
February and May. All major works must
be complete (to include all movements).
Detailed audition repertoire requirements
are available from the Admissions office
and the Peabody web site at www.peabody
.jhu.edu/admissions. Pre-screening record-
ings are required for some majors.
Diploma Requirements
Residence. One year of full-time residency
is required, with two years of study gener-
ally necessary to complete the program.
Completion in less than two years requires
the permission of the major teacher and
associate dean for academic affairs.
Part-time enrollment in the Graduate
Performance Diploma program is not
permitted. International students in this
program are considered by Immigration
and Naturalization Services to be full-time
students when enrolled for lessons and
recitals.
Performance requirements. In addition
to individual major lessons, chamber
music participation is an essential com-
ponent of the Graduate Performance
Diploma program, and each student
admitted to the program is expected to
118
participate in some phase of ensemble arts
in each semester of study. A minimum of
two recitals is required for completion of
the program. For an individual majoring
in performance, one of the recitals may be
a chamber music recital with the permis-
sion of the major applied department. For
chamber music majors, all recitals must be
chamber music recitals. For opera majors,
at least one opera performance (not neces-
sarily a complete role) during each semes-
ter of study is required. Any student not
presenting a graded recital in a given year
is required to perform at a graded hearing
before the departmental faculty at the end
of the spring semester.
Students are encouraged to pursue
development of as much public perfor-
mance experience as possible, both inside
and outside the institution.
Prior to graduation, all Graduate Per-
formance Diploma candidates are required
to submit a personal biography suitable
for a concert program and a performance
resume. The biography and performance
resume must be typed, co-signed by the
student and the major studio teacher,
and submitted to the Office of Academic
Affairs no later than February 15 of the
year in which the student expects to
receive his or her diploma. The associ-
ate dean for academic affairs or a faculty
member of the Graduate Committee will
review all submissions. The personal biog-
raphy and performance resume are gradua-
tion requirements.
Ensembles. Graduate Performance
Diploma candidates majoring in orches-
tral instruments must participate in the
Peabody Symphony Orchestra, Peabody
Concert Orchestra, or Peabody Wind
Ensemble during each semester of enroll-
ment. Organ majors have a two-semester
Chorus requirement which must be com-
pleted in the first year of residency. There
is no large ensemble requirement for other
Graduate Performance Diploma candi-
dates. Detailed guidelines for ensemble
participation are published in the Student
Handbook.
Related requirements. The student may
choose electives from music theory, musi-
cology, repertoire studies, Curricular Prac-
tical Training, or other music courses at
or above the 400 level. With the approval
of the associate dean for academic affairs,
undergraduate courses may be accepted
when the student demonstrates its special
career relevance. Students are limited to
three credits of coursework per semes-
ter, in addition to lessons, recitals, and
ensembles. Additional course credits or
audits carry a per-credit charge. In the
areas of music theory and musicology, the
student must take the appropriate place-
ment examinations and satisfy any review
requirements prior to enrolling in gradu-
ate-level courses.
All Graduate Performance Diploma
students are encouraged to seek employ-
ment relevant to their field of study while
enrolled in this diploma program. The
employment must be designated and
structured to enhance the student’s educa-
tional program. The employment must be
approved by the student’s studio teacher
who must ensure its academic relevance.
The employment can be established as
an elective course taken for ½ credit each
semester or for one credit in the sum-
mer. Employment can fulfill a maximum
of three elective credits and may not be
applied to fulfill major or core require-
ments.
Please note: International students cannot

The Artist Diploma Program
The Artist Diploma is a non-degree
program reserved for the most exceptional
and experienced performers, with empha-
sis on repertoire designed to meet the
needs of performers who are preparing and
qualified to embark upon a professional
career.
Admission Requirements
Majors are available in all areas of per-
formance. There is no Artist Diploma in
composition. Applicants must submit the
following with the application:
1. Standard evidence of formal train-
ing, e.g., certificates and/or diplomas,
including transcripts certifying pro-
ficiency in all basic areas of musical
study.
2. Evidence of professional performing
experience, e.g., programs. Reviews are
optional.
3. Repertoire list indicating works stud-
ied and works performed.
4. A 75-minute recital program ready to
be performed in its entirety.
5. Written recommendations from three
outstanding professional musicians
familiar with the applicant’s perfor-
mance ability.
An individual may not apply for admis-
sion to the Artist Diploma program more
than twice.
Audition requirements. Entrance to the
Artist Diploma program is determined
by live audition only in February. All
applicants must perform selections from a
full recital program for the applied depart-
ment at the regularly scheduled audition
time. Upon the recommendation of the
department, the performer(s) will be
scheduled for a second audition before a
panel of invited outside judges on the final
day of February audition week.
121
Diploma Requirements
Residence. One year of full-time residency
is required, with a minimum of two years
of study at Peabody expected. The pro-
gram must be completed within five years.
Financial aid is awarded for a maximum
of two years. International students in the
Artist Diploma program are considered by
Immigration and Naturalization Services
to be full-time students when enrolled for
lessons and recitals. Students enrolled in
the program are expected to be active per-
forming members of the Peabody campus
community.
Performance requirements. The Artist
Diploma candidate must present a mini-
mum of four public recitals. For chamber
music majors, all recitals must consist of
chamber music. In voice, a major opera
role may be considered an appropriate
substitute for one or more recitals, subject
to approval of the major teacher and the
departments involved.
Related requirements. The Artist
Diploma curriculum includes pertinent
coursework as determined by the student
or as advised by the major teacher in con-
sultation with members of the department
and the dean. The program also includes
counseling, coursework, and/or indepen-
dent study projects in various aspects of
career development, as directed by the
dean, the major teacher, and/or the depart-
ment.
All Artist Diploma students are encour-
aged to seek employment relevant to
their field of study while enrolled in this
diploma program. The employment must
be designated and structured to enhance
the student’s educational program. The
employment must be approved by the
student’s studio teacher who must ensure
its academic relevance. The employment
can be established as an elective course
taken for ½ credit each semester or for one
credit in the summer. Employment can
fulfill a maximum of three elective credits
and may not be applied to fulfill major or
core requirements.
Please note: International students cannot
begin off-campus employment until they
receive written approval from the interna-
tional student advisor for Curricular Prac-
tical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical
Training. Students in F-1 status must have
been lawfully enrolled in school on a full-
time basis for at least one academic year
before they are eligible for practical train-
ing. CPT must be undertaken prior to the
completion of a course of study.
Continuation in the program. Continu-
ation in the program is contingent upon
satisfactory completion of each year’s
study, in the opinion of the major teacher,
members of the department, and the dean.
The assessment will include review of
the student’s performance portfolio. Any
student not presenting a recital in a given
year will be required to perform at a hear-
ing before the departmental faculty at the
end of the spring semester.

Extension Study
Undergraduate
Individuals wishing to enroll in private
lessons or classwork on an undergraduate
non-degree basis, or in preparation for
application to a Conservatory degree
program, may register for such study
through the Peabody Extension Division,
pending faculty availability and demon-
stration of appropriate qualifications.
Further information may be obtained from
the Registrar’s Office.
Graduate
Graduate Extension is designed for
the individual who already holds an
undergraduate or master’s degree in music,
or the equivalent of a Peabody Performer’s
Certificate, and who may fall into the
following categories:
1. has been working in the field for sev-
eral years and is seeking to refresh his/
her knowledge or improve pedagogical
or technical skills.
2. has a particular personal goal, and pre-
fers to make use of Peabody’s resources
in an unstructured way.
3. is the recipient of a special one-year
grant such as Fulbright.
4. has missed the degree or diploma
entrance deadlines and wishes to begin
work on a space-available basis.
Prior Study. A bachelor’s or master’s
degree in music from a recognized insti-
tution, or the equivalent of the Peabody
Performer’s Certificate is required.
123
Audition requirements. A Graduate
Extension student may make his/her own
arrangements with an applied teacher
before making formal application to
the Conservatory. The audition (then or
earlier) must be heard by the accepting
teacher. A tape or CD will be acceptable,
but the performing level must be vali-
dated in person upon the student’s arrival
at Peabody before Graduate Extension sta-
tus is confirmed. When at all possible, the
audition should be a part of the regular
audition schedule. A Graduate Extension
student may be accepted onto a teacher’s
schedule or into coursework on a space-
available basis if the application process is
complete before registration.
Registration. The student may register
for applied study and/or any combina-
tion of academic coursework. In the areas
of music theory and music history, the
Graduate Extension student must take the
appropriate placement examinations and
satisfy any review requirement prior to
enrolling in graduate-level courses. Lesson,
performance, and coursework credits may
count toward fulfillment of subsequent
graduate diploma or degree requirements,
if approved by the major department. For-
mal application for any change in graduate
program must be made with the Admis-
sions Office and all other requirements for
entrance must be met. Graduate Extension
registrants are eligible to participate in
ensembles by audition but generally are
not considered for institutional scholar-
ship support.

Health Services
Full-time students receive their health
services from the Johns Hopkins Com-
munity Physicians at Wyman Park (3100
Wyman Park Drive). The health service
provides comprehensive outpatient health
care including evaluation and treatment
of minor illnesses, allergy shots, routine
gynecologic care and consultation, routine
ancillary testing, and minor surgical pro-
cedures. Visits for treatment at the health
service are covered by the mandatory stu-
dent health fee and are otherwise free to
the student. Referrals to outside providers
and some ancillary testing are charged to
the student’s health insurance.
Counseling and Student Development
Services: The Counseling Center at 358 Gar-
164
land Hall on the Homewood campus is the
primary source of psychological assistance
for students. Services are oriented toward
helping students resolve emotional dif-
ficulties, manage stress and interpersonal
relationships more effectively, and over-
come problematic behaviors. A variety of
services are provided, including individual
and group psychotherapy, career counsel-
ing, crisis intervention, support groups,
workshops, and consultation on student-life
problems. For the convenience of Peabody
students, a counselor is available at Pea-
body one half-day per week. For additional
information or to make an appointment,
call 410-516-8278. To speak to an on-call
counselor in case of an emergency during
non-business hours, Homewood Security
should be contacted at 410-516-7777.
Health Insurance
All full-time students are required to
carry adequate health insurance coverage
for themselves and their dependents. The
Johns Hopkins University has developed
a comprehensive health insurance plan
that includes hospital, surgical, and major
medical benefits. Membership in this plan
is mandatory for all full-time students
unless a student provides evidence that
he or she has existing equivalent health
insurance coverage. International students
are required to purchase the school’s insur-
ance plan.
Shuttle Bus
A free university shuttle operates seven
days a week between the Homewood
campus and the Johns Hopkins Medical
Institutions with stops at the Peabody
campus and the train station. The buses
run from 6:15 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. on week-
days; 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays;
and noon to 9:30 p.m. on Sundays.
Peabody Escort Van
Peabody operates a van escort service
to transport members of its community
to and from campus within roughly a
12-block radius. When school is in session
the escort van runs every half hour from
5 p.m. to 2 a.m. and at 3, 4, and 5 a.m.
upon request, seven days per week.

The General Assembly of the State of
Maryland has enacted legislation creating
scholarship programs to assist students
in obtaining a college education. Any
Maryland resident is eligible to compete
for Maryland State Scholarships. Since
these are important sources of assistance
for many Peabody students, all Maryland
residents are strongly encouraged to apply.
Further information and applications are
available from:
Maryland State Scholarship
Administration
839 Bestgate Road, Suite 400
Annapolis, Maryland 21401-3013
www.mhec.state.md.us
The application deadline for these
scholarships is generally in early February.
Peabody Career Development Fund
The Peabody Career Development Fund
was established in 1986 to assist eligible
students and recent alumni in the devel-
opment of their careers. The awards are
made possible through the generosity of
the following donors:
• Douglas S. Goodwin
• Caswell & Constance Caplan
• Malcolm & Loraine Bernstein
• Eyer Educational Corporation
• Peggy & Yale Gordon Trust
• Friends of Peabody
Applications are considered each
semester by the committee, and awards
are noted annually in the Graduation
program. Information is available in the
Director’s Office and on the Peabody web
site at www.peabody.jhu.edu/careerdev.
Assistantships
A limited number of assistantships
are available to students who have been
admitted into a graduate program as full-
time degree or diploma candidates. A
graduate assistantship is awarded on the
basis of previous academic record, place-
ment examination results, and a personal
interview/audition in the specific area of
173
interest. Assistantships are available in the
following areas:
accompanying music education
bibliography musicology
chamber music music theory
composition opera accompanying
computer music piano maintenance
conducting piano teaching
ear-training recording arts
guitar voice
liberal arts wind conducting
Responsibilities. Full-time graduate
assistants are expected to assist the fac-
ulty for up to an average of 15 hours per
week, with specific assignments made by
individual faculty members. Graduate
assistants should not work more than a
combined total of 20 hours per week for
the university. A portion of assistantship
income is considered taxable unless it
qualifies for special consideration by tax
authorities. Consult the human resources
manager of the Institute for full details.
Registration requirements. Graduate
assistants must be registered as full-time
students for a minimum of 18 credits
per year. It is advisable not to take more
than 12 hours of study per semester. The
student must be registered for study in
the major area. All credits taken must be
necessary and applicable to the degree for
which the candidate is enrolled. The Con-
servatory reserves the right to restrict the
activities of holders of assistantships.
Term of assistantship. The assistantship
is for a term of one year, but upon recom-
mendation of the faculty, may be extended
to a maximum of two years. Only under
extraordinary circumstances may an assis-
tantship be renewed for a third year. This
requires a recommendation from the fac-
ulty and approval of the dean.
Retention of assistantship. Students
holding graduate assistantships must
maintain a consistently high level of per-
formance in every area of study, with a
grade point average of at least 3.0, and a
grade of at least B in the major lesson and
departmental examinations. Failure to
fulfill terms of the assistantship may result
in its immediate termination and may
require repayment of income.
Employment
Jobs are available at Peabody for full-
time students enrolled in a degree or
diploma program. Students are authorized
to work on campus up to a maximum of
20 hours per week after they complete
174
the necessary paperwork with the Office
of Human Resources and Payroll Services.
Students are encouraged to apply for avail-
able positions at the beginning of the
academic year, as jobs are available on a
first-come, first-served basis. A listing of
hiring departments and further informa-
tion may be obtained through the Office
of Human Resources and Payroll Services,
or by calling 410-659-8100, ext. 3050.
