The Conservatory’s present faculty is
in the same distinguished tradition, and
includes prizewinners in the Moscow
Tchaikovsky Competition, Queen Elisabeth of Belgium Competition, the ASCAP
Deems Taylor Awards, as well as Guggenheim 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 international 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 postgraduate education. Among its most illustrious
alumni are pianist Andre Watts, vocalists James Morris and Richard Cassilly of
the Metropolitan Opera, and the Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Dominick
Argento. The Peabody Conservatory of
Music is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music and, as a division of The Johns Hopkins University, by
the Middle States Commission on Higher
Education, 3624 Market St., Philadelphia,
PA 19104-2680; 267-284-5000.
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 beginnings, it has brought together a community 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 concentrates primarily upon music. Through
its constituent divisions, the Preparatory
and the Conservatory, it trains musicians 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 commitment 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 worldfamous 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 composers Henry Cowell, Elliott Carter, Peter
Mennin, Ernst Krenek, Benjamin Lees,
Earle Brown, and Hugo Weisgall; violin-
The Preparatory
Founded in 1894, the Peabody Preparatory is the pre-college complement to the
Peabody Conservatory. Like the Conservatory, the Preparatory also has a dual mission: 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.

headquarters of the Institute’s Preparatory
department and contains studios for the
use of both Conservatory and Preparatory
faculty.
The Arthur Friedheim Library and academic facility opened during the 1989–90
academic year. This handsome structure is
fully integrated physically and architecturally within the Peabody block and is interconnected 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 townhouse 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 Peabody students and faculty.
In spring 2004, the Peabody Institute
completed a $26.8 million major construction project that has fundamentally
restored and enhanced its campus, integrating the historic 19th-century buildings 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
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 Baltimore 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 preconservatory program and graduated levels
of performance opportunities. The student
body of the Preparatory is as diverse as its
curriculum, ranging from pre-school children 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 established 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 architectural landmarks. The Conservatory building was completed in 1866. The library
building, completed in 1878, is famed for
its tiered cast-iron balconies and spectacular 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

Facilities
Performance. The Miriam A. Friedberg
Concert Hall, with seating for 695, combines 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 threemanual 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 repertory classes and recitals.
The Conservatory maintains a collection
of string, woodwind, brass, and percussion
instruments available for use in instrumental classes. Its collection of baroque
instruments includes two French double
harpsichords by William Dowd, a Flemish single harpsichord by Rodney Regier,
a virginal, fortepiano, clavichord, several
baroque flutes, oboes, bassoon, viols, violins, viola, cello, and bows. In 2007 the
Conservatory acquired a matched baroque
string quartet by Juraj Vancik, a cornetto
by Christopher Monk, and a theorbo by
Ed Greenhood.
The collection of Renaissance instruments includes full consorts of recorders,
gems­horns, krummhorns, five lutes, two
flutes, sackbuts, viols, and percussion.
Acquisitions during 2007 included a
Renaissance long drum by Ben Harms,
tenor and bass sackbuts by Von der Heide,
an Italian harpsichord by Robert Duffy, and
an 11-course baroque lute by Martin Shepherd. Students also have access to Renaissance and baroque guitars, a vihuela, and a
cittern as well as a full consort of recorders
by Adriana Breukink.
staircase provides an elegant counterpoint
to the original famed circular stairway.
Often called Peabody’s new “Main Street,”
the Grand Arcade wraps round the Miriam 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, reconstructed 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 communitybased 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 individual “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.
Libraries. One of the oldest music collections 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
11
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 biography, 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 Friedheim, 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 collection 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 Baltimore 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 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 including 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
Hopkins University. Formerly the Peabody 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 primary 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 libraries in the country. The Albert B. Hutzler
Undergraduate Reading Room in Gilman 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 collection 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 requirements.
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 Conservatory studio facility, is directly linked
to the Miriam A. Friedberg Concert Hall.
Studio 203, also located in the Conservatory 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
12
ested in the recording arts degree program
or classes should call the Recording Office.
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 reinforcement 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 permanently stored in the Peabody Archives.
Each student is entitled to one free CD of
his/her degree recital, with additional copies available on a fee basis. Students, faculty,
and staff may also use the Recording Studios 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-
Computer Music Studios. The Computer
Music Studios serve as a working laboratory for music composition and research,
as well as a center for courses, demonstrations, 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 systematically updated and expanded.
The affiliation of Peabody with The
Johns Hopkins University has made possible 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 university courses in computer science, electronics, and related fields.
Computer Music Consort. The Computer
Music Consort is a professional ensemble in
residence at the Computer Music Department dedicated to the performance of the
digital arts. The Consort aims to bring the
best current computer music and multimedia performance to the public in unique
and original ways. Activity includes performances (many of which involve “live” performers plus tape, real-time electronics, and
mixed media presentations), lectures, and
commissions for new works in the medium.
The Consort frequently invites guest composers and performers to participate in its
events.
Facilities. The Computer Music Department is located on the third floor of the
historic Conservatory building. There are
two fully equipped studios, one devoted
to teaching and the other to production
work. There is a digital performance stu-
13
other performance-oriented synthesizers.
This space is easily reconfigured and may
be used for rehearsal as well as research
and com­position.
dio optimized for solo or chamber music
plus electronics rehearsals, and a digital
arts studio of workstations for use by computer music and composition students.
The departmental studios feature a wide
variety of music technologies, including
MIDI, Direct Digital Synthesis, Digital
Audio Workstations, SMPTE synchronization and digital multi-track recording.
5. Workstations. The department supports
a network of computers optimized for
music-making and research. A wide variety of platforms are supported, including

wireless network allows the easy integration 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 programming and software for music notation.
1. The Teaching Studio is intended primarily for introductory-level and non-major
students but is also used as an additional
production facility by departmental graduate 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 demonstrations. This studio also houses the department’s vintage Moog synthesizers, which
are carefully maintained for historical and
pedagogical purposes. Multichannel A/D
and D/A conversion systems along with
a 24x8 console are available, as well as
a quadraphonic sound system featuring
Meyer 833 studio monitors.
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 highspeed network. Most rooms on campus are
wired for Internet access.
With an account on JHMI, students, faculty, 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 Internet access.

conservatory of music and a leading
university in the Asia Pacific region. The
Peabody Institute embraced the opportunity to provide artistic advice and conservatory 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 Baltimore 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 knowhow, Yong Siew Toh has already graduated its first class of musicians and is an
international benchmark for excellence for
Southeast Asia and the world. The collaboration 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.
Conducting Fellows Program
In 2007–2008, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with Music Director
Marin Alsop and the Peabody Conservatory launched 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-thejob training and real-time feedback from
Marin Alsop, professional orchestra musicians, and administrators.
Conducting fellows will be chosen every
two years through a competitive audition
process created by Peabody and the BSO.
Study Abroad Program
Peabody currently facilitates three
international exchanges with the Yong
Siew Toh Conservatory of the National
University of Singapore, Paris Conservatory, and Royal Academy in London.
Interested students should approach the

Inter-Institutional Academic Arrangements
Within the university system, crossregistration without extra cost extends for
Peabody students to courses offered by the
School of Arts and Sciences, the Whiting
School of Engineering, the Carey Business School, and the School of Education.
Students enrolled in the schools of Arts
and Sciences or Engineering may, similarly, 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
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 Conservatory Registrar. Credit sought for any other
courses taken outside the Conservatory
during the period of a student’s enrollment 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 Preparatory must go through placement interviews/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 desiring to take individual instruction pay
100 percent of the Preparatory individual
instruction tuition as listed in the current
Preparatory catalog. Non-Peabody stu-

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 Double Degree Program takes a minimum of
five years to complete.
Administrative services such as registration, financial aid, and health care are provided to Double Degree students by the
Homewood schools. Consequently, students in the Double Degree Program do
not receive Peabody merit scholarships or
Transcripts

Administrative Regulations
Academic and Personal Codes of Conduct
The Peabody Conservatory of The Johns
Hopkins University, its faculty, staff, and
students are committed to encouraging
academic honesty and ethical conduct.
Membership in the Peabody community is
contingent upon adherence to high standards of personal and professional ethics.
The effective practice of an ethical code
of conduct requires the support of each
member of the Peabody community. Each
person is entrusted with two essential
responsibilities: to live honorably within
the established codes of conduct, and to
hold other members of the community to
the same high standard of conduct.
Students enrolled in the Peabody Conservatory assume an obligation to conduct
themselves in a manner appropriate to an
institution of higher education. A student
is obliged to refrain from acts which he
or she knows, or under the circumstances
has reason to know, threaten the academic
integrity of the Conservatory. Violations of academic integrity include, but
are not limited to cheating, plagiarism,
misrepresentation of work, multiple
submissions of the same work, falsification of an approval signature, knowingly
furnishing false information to any agent
of the Conservatory for inclusion in the
academic records, and falsification, forgery,
alteration, destruction, or misuse of official
Conservatory documents or shared information technology resources. Procedures
for alleged violations of the academic and
personal codes of conduct may be found in
the Student Handbook.

readmission. A dismissed student may not
enroll at Peabody in any capacity until
such time as he or she is readmitted. The
Conservatory reserves the right to exclude
at any time a student whose academic
standing or general conduct is considered
unsatisfactory.
The associate dean for academic affairs
will review all transcripts and identify all
graduate students who are not meeting
the stated minimum grade point average and/or major area grade benchmarks.
Students who fall below one or more of
the stated benchmarks will be brought to
the attention of the Graduate Committee
at its meeting in January (for fall semester grades) or May (for spring semester
grades). The Graduate Committee may
dismiss any student who does not meet
the minimum benchmarks. The Graduate
Committee also has the right to put any
student who does not meet the minimum
benchmarks on warning for dismissal.
Graduation Eligibility
To be approved for graduation, students
must have resolved any and all outstanding charges of misconduct and violations
of academic ethics, in addition to satisfying all degree requirements.
Outside Sources of Financial Aid
Maintenance of good academic standing and satisfactory academic progress are
requirements for continued eligibility for
financial assistance from federal and state
sources.
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
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 illness 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 Academic Affairs,
provide documentation, and ask that
their teachers be notified. 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.

immediately at the end of any semester,
without prior warning. A student who is
dismissed on academic grounds may apply
for readmission after one full semester, but
Peabody is under no obligation to grant

Definition of Full-Time Status and Credit Limits
Students at the Conservatory are considered full time if they carry the following
number of credit hours per semester:
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. Withdrawals 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 interviews with appropriate faculty. To initiate
a change of major, a student must complete a change of major form available in
the Admissions Office.
In addition to lessons, ensembles, recitals, 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 departmentally recommended classes may be
excluded from the credit limit. Academic
credits in excess of nine hours will entail
additional per credit hour fees.
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 academic 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 Conservatory is willing to accept a student, the
student may be required to withdraw.
Interruption of Degree Work
Leaves of absence. A leave of absence is an
approved interruption of the degree program. 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
26
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.
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 Academic 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 roster; however, a student requesting a leave
of absence is not guaranteed a space in a
teacher’s studio upon return to school.
Undergraduate: Undergraduate students
on leave of absence for more than the
allowed year must petition the Undergraduate Committee for readmission and
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 Graduate Committee for readmission and certification 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 leaveof-absence option, but must continue to
enroll for Degree-in-Progress through the
semester of completion of degree requirements 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 readmission. Upon approval of the petition, all
retroactive fees must be paid in order for
reinstatement of status to become effective. Any D.M.A. candidate who fails to
register for Degree-in-Progress will be
dropped from the program.
Involuntary. In situations where a leave
of absence is indicated due to circumstances 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 involuntary 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 communication 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 thinking incompatible with successful participation in the academic 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 wishing to remain in the United States during
their leaves of absence must provide medical documentation to the school to support
27
University Policies
such a request. Medical leave of absence
cannot exceed an aggregate of one year.
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 performance meeting bona fide expectations
of faculty. No member of the faculty is
obliged to provide students or graduates
with an evaluation or letter of recommendation 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.
Withdrawals. Requests for total withdrawal from degree programs must be initiated in the Office of Academic Affairs.
Readmission. Former degree candidates who
have withdrawn from the Conservatory must
submit a written request for readmission to
the associate dean for academic affairs. Final
decisions on readmission will be made by
the associate dean in consultation with the
appropriate academic committee.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
Students are responsible for understanding all academic regulations and requirements for graduation, as set forth in this
catalog and the Student Handbook, and
are responsible for completing the applicable requirements for graduation. The
Peabody Institute of necessity reserves the
right to change any provision, requirement, policy, or regulation published in
the catalog within a student’s term of residence. However, it may be assumed that,
except under the most unusual circumstances, 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.
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 identity or expression, veteran status, or other
legally protected characteristic in any student program or activity administered by
the university, including the administration
of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, and
athletic and other university-administered
programs or in employment.

Policy on the Reserve Officer Training Corps
Defense Department policies regarding sexual orientation in ROTC programs
conflict with this university policy.
Because ROTC is a valuable component of
the university that provides an opportunity 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 continued 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 committed to providing its staff, faculty and
students the opportunity to pursue excellence 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.
3. Harassment when directed at an
individual because of his/her gender,

telephone calls, e-mails, letters, notes
or other forms of communication; and,
any conduct that may create a hostile
working or academic environment.
Policy Against Discriminatory Harassment

environments that are free from all
forms of harassment and discrimination. Accordingly, harassment based
on an individual’s gender, marital
status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, 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 educational environment whether committed by faculty, staff, or students, or by
visitors to Hopkins while they are on
campus. Each member of the community is responsible for fostering civility,
for being familiar with this policy, and
4. Sexual harassment, whether between
people of different sexes or the same
sex, is defined to include, but is not

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 employment or participation in an education 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 advancement; or

suggestive gestures, sounds or stares;
unwelcome physical contact; sending/
forwarding inappropriate e-mails of a

4. Complainants are assured that reports
of harassment will be treated in a confidential manner, within the bounds
of the university’s legal obligation to
respond appropriately to any and all
allegations of harassment.
5. Managers, including faculty managers, who receive reports of harassment
should contact human resources or the
Office of Institutional Equity for assistance in investigating and resolving
the issue.
5. Retaliation against an individual who
complains of discriminatory harassment under this policy is strictly
prohibited. Intentionally making a
false accusation of harassment is also
prohibited.
6. Managers, including faculty managers,
are required to implement corrective
action where, after completing the
investigation, it is determined corrective action is indicated.
7. The university administration is
responsible for ensuring the consistent
application of this policy.
Responsibilities Under This Policy
The university is committed to enforcement 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 university affiliation.
Procedures for Discrimination Complaints
Brought Within Hopkins
Inquiries regarding procedures on discrimination 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).
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 encouraged to report, as soon as possible, their
concerns to the Office of Institutional

Nonimmigrant Alien Students
The Peabody Institute enrolls nonimmigrant alien students and encourages
applications from qualified foreign
students.
University Policy on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
The Johns Hopkins University recognizes that alcoholism and other drug
addiction are illnesses that are not easily resolved by personal effort and may

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
require professional assistance and treatment. Faculty, staff and students with
alcohol or other drug problems are
encouraged to take advantage of the diagnostic, 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. Students are prohibited from engaging in the
unlawful possession, use or distribution of
alcohol or other drugs on university property 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 disciplinary action, as well as possible referral
for criminal prosecution. Such disciplinary
action of faculty and staff may, in accordance with this policy, range from a minimum of a three day suspension without
pay to termination of university employment. 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 conviction related to drug activity in the work-
Smoke-free Environment
The Johns Hopkins University is a
smoke-free environment, and, as such,
prohibits smoking in all its facilities.
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 locations administered by the university, or
in its programs. The policy of “zero tolerance” 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 retaliation 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-

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.
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 manner described in this policy statement
should contact the Peabody Communications 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 university activities.
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 exceptions 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 Awareness 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 services at each of the university’s divisions
and reports crime statistics for each of
the campuses. The report is published on

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 accomplished 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.
Degree Requirements (B.M.)
Hours and residence. A minimum of 122
semester hours, excluding ensemble, is
required for the attainment of the Bachelor 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 appropriate courses.
109—The freshman jury is considered an
advising aid to the student and his
or her teacher in planning the following year’s study.
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 departmental jury.
209—The purpose of the 209 jury
taken at the end of the sophomore
year (4th semester or credit hour
equivalent) 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.

courses may be taken in any order and at
any time, though students are encouraged
to enroll in their third and fourth years of
study. One semester of Music and Culture
may be substituted for one music history
course. Jazz majors are required to take
two of the five available offerings.
Transfer credits will be considered for
approval by the chair of the Musicology department on a case-by-case basis.
Undergraduates may in no circumstances
apply more than two courses from other
institutions towards their Peabody undergraduate degrees, and they must receive
at least a “B” in any courses transferred.
Advanced Placement courses in musicology or music history cannot be applied for
credit to Peabody undergraduate degrees.
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 subsequent 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 technical 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.
Pedagogy
In addition to pedagogy courses offered
in specific majors, studio repertoire and
master classes provide for regular discussions on principles of pedagogy, enabling
all performance majors to achieve competency in this area.
495—The 495 is the senior recital. Jury
content requirements specific to
each department are published in
the Student Handbook.
Thursday Noon Recital Series
Thursday Noon Recital Series provides
a weekly program throughout the academic year. Students have the opportunity
to hear a variety of solo and chamber
works, as well as occasional guest performances 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 students (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 complete a concert attendance project during
their third and fourth semesters.
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 attendance, providing ongoing departmental
evaluation for each student.
Musicology
The academic discipline of musicology investigates the varied relationships
between musical traditions and the
cultures that create and sustain them. The
discipline necessarily combines historical and cultural research with analysis of
music.
All undergraduate degree programs
at Peabody, with the exception of jazz,
require a four-semester sequence of courses
(History of Music I, II, III, IV) covering
35
before the start of classes. Students placed
in ESL courses must successfully complete
these courses in order to fulfill the requirements for the Bachelor of Music degree
program. Some Peabody courses require
ESL courses as a prerequisite.
The ESL requirement may extend the
length of a student’s program. Intensive
English study over the summer months is
strongly recommended for ESL students.
Music Theory/Ear-training/Keyboard
Studies
The music theory program is a threeyear 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 encouraged 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 coordinated with the music theory sections
during the first two years of study. Students 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.
Advanced placement in music theory is
possible; students with strong music theory backgrounds may take the Advanced
Placement Undergraduate Exam in
Music Theory during Orientation, which
includes part-writing, analysis, and counterpoint. Samples of this examination are
available from the Admissions Office or at
www.peabody.jhu.edu/theory.
Keyboard Studies classes are coordinated with the first two years of music
theory and ear-training classes. Auditions
held during fall Orientation determine
placement in sections which are grouped
according to piano and music theory background. Advanced placement is possible,
based on the audition.
Humanities
Peabody’s humanities courses serve a
vital role in the undergraduate curriculum. Studies in liberal arts and language
complement the structured musical training 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 Peabody. 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 community.
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 academic study at Peabody; in subsequent
semesters students complete their humanities distribution requirements by selecting
courses from three different study areas:
Global Perspectives, Language and Literature, and Historical/Philosophical Studies.
All Peabody undergraduates are encouraged to fulfill humanities requirements
with courses offered on the Homewood
campus (the School of Arts and Sciences at
Johns Hopkins University).
English as a Second Language (ESL)
Peabody offers intensive English as a
Second Language (ESL) courses for students
whose English language skills are not at
college level. All incoming international
students will be tested and interviewed to
determine their level of English proficiency
during fall semester Orientation Week at
Peabody. This testing must be completed
Liberal Arts
Students in Peabody’s liberal arts
courses confront issues of relevance to

AP and Transfer Credits for Humanities
Classes
Advanced Placement and transfer determinations 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 or a 6 or 7 on the International Baccalau­reate Exam are accepted
for credit in most required study areas.
Transfer credits that fulfill humanities 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.
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. Interested students can enroll in advanced language courses for ongoing, intensive study.
The foreign languages offered on
campus are French, German, and Italian; Spanish is offered on the Homewood
campus. Students whose linguistic background and/or professional interests show
sufficient grounds for study of other languages may petition the foreign language
coordinator for permission. Petitions will
be reviewed by the Humanities Department as a whole and judged according to
their merits.
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. Questions about the appropriateness of courses
for elective credit can be directed to the
Registrar’s Office.
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 opportunities for study. The Humanities Department works in partnership with the Johns
Hopkins University School of Education
on this initiative.
Repeated courses. Undergraduate students
who fail any single course more than once
will be required to petition the appropriate 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 undergraduates participate in performing ensembles,
for which specified blocks of time are set
aside each day.
Large ensembles. Bachelor of Music candidates 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,
37
beyond those required cannot be counted
as elective credits. Detailed guidelines for
large and small ensemble participation are
found in the Student Handbook.
Peabody 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 thoroughly 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 Concert 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.
Advanced Standing
Advanced credit is granted to students 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 notation will be made in the student’s permanent record.
Major applied study. It is not expected
that entering freshmen will be granted
advanced placement in applied study.
Freshmen exhibiting extraordinary progress and extensive repertoire may, however,
complete their four performance examinations in three years upon recommendation
of the major teacher and approval by the
associate dean for academic affairs.
Academic music study. Placement is established by examination.
Music theory: All undergraduate applicants will be tested in music theory. The
examination will include rhythm, meter,
scales, intervals, keys, and triads. Placement 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 recommendations. They should then retake
the rudiments examination (Speed and
Comprehension Rudiments Examination
—SACRE) during Orientation Week.
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 satisfied 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 fulfill 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

*The three credits of opera performance electives must be fulfilled by participation in
two separate productions of Opera Workshop, Opera Etudes, Chamber Opera, or Opera
Theatre, as assigned by the Opera Department. One of the three may also be fulfilled
by participation in any performance class offered by the Opera Department, such as the
second semester of Acting for Opera or Opera Styles and Traditions.
Early Music Concentration for B.M. Voice
An early music concentration is offered in the voice curriculum. Application for
admission is made to the Department of Early Music in the sophomore year. Those
admitted have the following modified curriculum.
Removed from the curriculum:
German Lieder (530.481), 1 semester, 2 credits
French Mélodie (530.480), 1 semester, 2 credits
Added to the curriculum:
Early Vocal Literature (530.543,544), 2 semesters, 2 credits each
Baroque Ornamentation (530.441-442), 2 semesters, 2 credits each
Historical Diction for Singers (530.559), 1 semester, 1 credit
Other modifications to the curriculum:
• Renaissance Ensemble (950.529-530) and Baroque Ensemble (950.527-528) are the
required ensembles instead of Chorus in the junior year. A total of six semesters of
Renaissance Ensemble and Baroque Ensemble are required.
• Vocal coaching is given by early music faculty.
• The number of opera performance electives is reduced from three to two. One of the
electives may be fulfilled by participation in any performance class offered by the
Opera Department, such as Acting for Opera or Opera Styles and Traditions.

but the repertoire must be predominantly pre-19th-century, subject to approval by
the Early Music Department chair and the major teacher.

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 pursued through private study, improvisation workshops, ensemble rehearsals and performances, 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 administered 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.

and aesthetic viewpoints is welcomed and encouraged. During the first two years compositions 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 stu48
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 performances 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 consecutive 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 Placement 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.

B.M. Curriculum—Performance/Recording Arts and Sciences 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, science, 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 Humanities 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.

pedagogy, or performance/pedagogy are
also eligible to apply for this 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 throughout 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 Aand 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.

The Master of Music Degree
Entrance/placement 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 20thcentury 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:
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 (classical antiquity to the present)
4. French, German, and Italian for voice
performance majors: a written firstyear-level comprehension test in each
language. Dictionaries are permitted.
5. Keyboard skills for piano majors (sightreading, keyboard harmony, and scorereading)
6. All incoming international students will
be tested and interviewed to determine
their level of English proficiency. This
testing must be completed before the
start of classes. Peabody offers intensive
English as a Second Language (ESL)
courses for students whose English language skills are not at graduate level.
Students placed in ESL courses must
successfully complete these courses in
order to fulfill the requirements for the
The program leading to the degree of
Master of Music provides for intensive
development of performance skills, extensive 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 consideration
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 requirements 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. Applicants
must demonstrate good musicianship,
solid academic skills, and substantive
musical knowledge through performance
and written examinations.
TOEFL testing. Each applicant whose
native language is not English must present a score from the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL). TOEFL scores
of at least 550 from the basic paper test,
at least 213 from the computer-based version, or 79 from the Internet-based test
are expected of applicants.
International students. International
students admitted to Peabody must take
responsibility to improve their English in
preparation for their Peabody coursework.
Non-native speakers of English are urged
to take a summer language course at one
of the many U.S. institutions that offer
ESL, including Johns Hopkins University,
prior to their first semester at Peabody.
71
M.M. degree program. Some Peabody
courses require ESL courses as a prerequisite. The ESL requirement may extend
the length of a student’s program.
Intensive English study over the summer months is strongly recommended
for ESL students.
Composition. The graduate program
assumes reasonable compositional attainment 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-screening by the composition faculty should be
submitted to the Admissions Office by the
application deadline.
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 format 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 variety 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 quintet 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 videotaped. 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 audition will be notified in January and receive
a repertoire list. Students will be expected
to have all materials fully prepared. Interviews and testing in addition to the live
auditions may be required for acceptance.
All students entering the M.M. program
must take the complete music theory and
ear-training placement examinations prior
to enrollment in theory courses.
Major field requirements. All entering
students must pass a personal audition,
interview, or examination in the major
field. CDs are acceptable only for international 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 February 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 repertoire 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 performance major, the applicant for the pedagogy emphasis will be scheduled for an
interview with the pedagogy faculty.
Computer music. Applicants should ordinarily have completed two semesters of an
undergraduate course in computer music
or the equivalent, and demonstrate competency in a high-level programming
language (C, Java, Pascal, or comparable).
Deficiencies may be corrected by remedial study at the Conservatory. Specific
entrance requirements for each of the three
tracks follow:
1. Composition. The program assumes reasonable compositional attainment and
Pedagogy emphasis is currently available 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.
72
interview with members of the musicology faculty.
experience as a prerequisite for admission. Applicants are expected to have
the bachelor’s degree in composition or
the equivalent, and to submit a portfolio of mature works for various media.
The portfolio should include some
works involving computer music.
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 including 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.
2. Performance/Concert Production. Applicants should demonstrate the equivalent of a personal audition and prepare
sufficient material to perform a full
solo recital. The audition should
include some works involving computer 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.
Degree Requirements (M.M.)
Music education. An applicant must have
completed a bachelor’s degree in music
education and be qualified for initial
certification as an elementary or secondary 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.
Residence. For all majors except music
education, completion of a Master of
Music degree program will require fulltime 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 consideration given to previous experience, professional 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 completed all program requirements except
the master’s essay (required of musicology
majors), the music theory pedagogy project (required of music theory pedagogy
majors), or portfolio/thesis (computer
music majors), must register for Degreein-Progress.
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
Transfer credits. A maximum of six
semester hours of graduate study (coursework) completed at other accredited institutions 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.
73
Previously earned Peabody credits. Students 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 minimum credit requirements for an undergraduate 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 better, and must have been earned not more
than five years prior to initial registration
in this degree program.
Program components
Music coursework. The core curriculum consists of Music Bibliography and
courses in music theory and musicology.
All full-time Master of Music students are
required to take Music 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. Most
Master of Music students are also required
to take two Graduate Seminars in musicology; see individual program descriptions for details. Before students can enroll
in Graduate Seminars, they must pass a
music history placement test offered about
one week before the fall semester begins.
The test requires students to write short
essays without reference to books or notes
about various topics in music history from
medieval times to the present. Grading
is on the basis of demonstrated writing
ability and knowledge of music history.
Students who fail this examination are
required to enroll in Music History Intensive Review. Only after passing Music
History Intensive Review are they permitted to enroll in Graduate Seminars. The
only musicology graduate course which
can be taken concurrently with Music
History Intensive Review is Music Bibliography. Students enrolled in English as
a Second Language (ESL) courses require
consent of the instructor to enroll in
Graduate Seminars in musicology, even if
they have passed Music History Intensive
Review.
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
Advanced placement. Advanced placement may be awarded in areas of required
coursework, where warranted by placement examination results.
Review courses. Deficiencies in the areas
of music theory, ear-training, music history, keyboard skills, or English must be
corrected by remedial study at the Conservatory. Please note: Students placed in
ESL courses 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, music history, or keyboard skills
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.
74
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 individual program (this may be studio accompanying 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 conducting 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.
Program notes. All candidates for the
Master of Music in performance must
write original program notes with a
bibliography for their degree recital. Program notes must be at least 750 words
in length, not including translations or
the bibliography. The student must submit written program notes initialed by
the studio teacher to the Office of Academic 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 program notes for the Master of Music recital
are a graduation requirement.
governed by the same regulations as are
other review courses.
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 registrar 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 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
international student advisor for Curricular Practical 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 training. CPT must be undertaken 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

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 curriculum provides advanced technical study while emphasizing the linguistic skills necessary
for comprehensively coaching opera and song literature. Versatility is stressed, with a
practical eye toward 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 participation 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 pronunciation, 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 development 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 performance 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 Orchestra or Peabody Concert Orchestra during each semester of residency.

** Courses listed are suggested electives. Other courses may be taken which satisfy
a student’s personal goals.
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 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 ensembles; 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 minimum 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 computer 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 10 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.
The Performance/Concert Production track allows students to gain the skills and sensibilities necessary to become expert performers with the new technology. The term “performance” 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 production 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 guidelines 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 performance 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 documenting 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 together closely. 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 Production 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.

M.M. Curriculum—Musicology Majors
The academic discipline of Musicology investigates the varied relationships between
musical traditions and the cultures that create and sustain them. The discipline necessarily combines historical and cultural research with analysis of music.
The Master of Music degree program in Musicology offers the student an introduction
to the academic study of music at the graduate level. Coursework exposes the student
to a broad range of approaches to contemporary musical scholarship and emphasizes
the development of critical, analytical, and practical skills germane to the profession.
All students are assigned an advisor who will monitor the student’s progress during the
first year of the program. In the second year of study, the advisor will supervise an inde92
pendent project of research and writing leading to the completion of the master’s essay.
Upon completion of the program, students are well positioned for admission to Ph.D.
programs in musicology.
Students entering the program should demonstrate a strong potential for future success in the field. Successful applicants normally possess (1) a solid undergraduate foundation in music history, theory, and musicianship, (2) relevant experience as a performing
musician, or (3) a distinguished academic background in a related field of study. All
students are required to meet the proficiency standards in music history, theory, and ear
training required of master’s students in all disciplines.
All students must pass a reading exam in French, German, or Italian and should plan
to fulfill this requirement before the completion of the third semester of full-time study.
Entering students who are not prepared to meet this requirement are advised to undertake appropriate coursework at Peabody or on the Homewood campus of The Johns
Hopkins University. In certain instances, a student may petition the department for an
examination in a language other than those listed above. In such cases, the student must
make a compelling case that knowledge of this language is of direct relevance to his/her
research interests. All such requests must be submitted in writing to the department
chair before the end of the second semester of study, and cases will be decided by a vote
of the full faculty. Any questions about the language requirement should be directed to
the graduate advisor.
As the final requirement for the Master in Musicology degree, all students complete a
master’s essay, a serious scholarly endeavor displaying excellence in research, writing, and
critical thinking. The following guidelines are provided as a general model only, and, as
such, they are intended to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. Topics and approaches
vary widely, and detailed requirements for the content of the master’s essay are determined on an individual basis in consultation with the student’s academic advisor.
1. During the second semester of full-time study, each student registers for graduate research
with a member of the faculty, to commence at the beginning of the third semester.
2. During the third semester, the student and advisor devise an independent program of
reading and research leading to the identification of a topic for the master’s essay.
3. Working closely with the advisor through the various stages of the writing process, the
student submits a draft of the completed essay to the advisor at least one month prior to
the submission deadline set by the Office of Academic Affairs. The submission deadline
for the final copy is currently March 30. As changes in the academic calendar often occur,
students should consult with the academic program coordinator to verify the date of the
submission deadline.
4. Once the advisor has approved the final version of the essay, two copies are submitted to
the Office for Academic Affairs. The final copy should include a title page that follows the
template provided in Appendix F of the D.M.A. Guidelines (available from the Office for
Academic Affairs).
5. Final copies of the essay, printed on acid-free paper, should be produced on a laser printer.
High-quality photocopies are acceptable as final copies.
6. The bibliography and footnotes should be formatted according to the methods outlined in
The Chicago Manual of Style.

The Doctor of Musical Arts Degree
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.
The objective of the program leading to
the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts is to
provide a select number of qualified students with the highest level of professional
development in the art of musical performance or the craft of musical composition,
within a context of comprehensive understanding of the common body of theoretical 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.
Composition. The D.M.A. program
assumes considerable compositional
attainment and experience as a prerequisite 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-screening 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 instruction is required in both departments on an
alternating basis.
Admission Requirements
Prior study. A Master of Music degree or
its demonstrated equivalent is a prerequisite for admission to the Doctor of Musical
Arts degree program. Equivalency may be
validated by examination or by completion 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 qualification for study at the doctoral level. Possession 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. auditions are not held in May. It is not possible
to audition for the D.M.A. program by
recording.
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 format 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 variety 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 quintet 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 videotaped. Appropriate dress is expected.
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
reflect the applicant’s academic capability. Of
particular interest to the D.M.A. interviewing committee is evidence of a capacity for
independent thinking, initiative, and ability
to present, 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 incomplete, and
the applicant must wait until the next audition period for admission consideration.
Graduates of other Peabody programs are
not exempt from this requirement.
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 audition will be notified in January and receive
a repertoire list. Students will be expected
to have all materials fully prepared. Interviews 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, analysis, 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 applicants 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 successfully completed a graduate-level course
in counterpoint (including students who
earned the undergraduate degree at Peabody) are strongly advised to take a graduate counterpoint course in preparation for
their D.M.A. music theory examination.
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 meeting also provides an opportunity for the
faculty to assess the applicant’s verbal
skills, and to discuss the applicant’s particular 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 normally 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. Continuous registration each year in courses,
applied studies, or degree-in-progress is
required. Regulations governing interruption of study apply uniformly to all
students (see p. 26, Interruption of
Degree Work).
Writing sample. All applicants must submit evidence of their research and writing
skills in the form of an essay written 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
Transfer credits. A maximum of 12
semester hours of graduate study (coursework) completed at other accredited

Curriculum Components (D.M.A.)—
Requirements and Examinations
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 of the student’s first
graduate degree registration at Peabody
and must carry grades of B or better.
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 available to the student for consultation and
advice concerning curriculum and possible
dissertation or paper topics. Members of
this committee also shall submit appropriate questions for the written qualifying
examinations and sit on the oral qualifying
examination committee.
Major field advisory committee. Each student will be assigned a major field advisory committee consisting of three faculty
members appointed by the associate dean
for academic affairs and including the
major teacher. This committee is responsible for approving the student’s repertoire
list, approving and jurying all the student’s recitals, and submitting questions
for the major field qualifying examination.
Major applied study. Individual studio
work includes in-depth repertoire development, 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 perform in large ensembles on a space-available 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
Previously earned Peabody credits. Students 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 Extension program, beyond the M.M. degree
level, may transfer to the D.M.A. program, upon satisfaction of all other admission 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-training 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. registration. Exceptions to this regulation may be
granted by the D.M.A. Committee only
under extraordinary circumstances.
99
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
presented.
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 residency 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 performance, 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.)
Program notes. The candidate must supply program notes of publishable quality
before each program is approved. These
should be approximately one page in
length, and must be approved by a representative 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 committee. 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 doctoral 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 registration). 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 submit 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 Committee. These together constitute the final
document for composition. In addition, the
portfolio must contain one or more smaller
100
ing and critical thinking abilities. Some
majors require D.M.A. students to take
additional graduate seminars in musicology as well; see specific program curricula
for details. After D.M.A. students pass
the preliminary oral examination (usually
at the beginning of their second year of
study), they will choose an advisor from
among the full-time members of the
Musicology faculty who will then serve as
a guide through the remaining portion of
the D.M.A. musicology curriculum. These
duties will include approving program
notes, preparing and helping to administer the D.M.A. history examination, and
advising on preparation of the document or
dissertation, lecture-recital, and final oral
examination. For further details students
should refer to the D.M.A. guidelines,
available in the Office of Academic Affairs.
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 additional 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 institution. Minimum requirements vary depending on the major. See the curriculum
listings for individual programs, pages
103-112.
Musicology Requirements. Doctor of
Musical Arts students are required to
enroll in the Musicology Colloquium
during their first year. The colloquium
provides opportunities to hear guest lecturers speak on musicology topics of their
expertise, and focuses on developing writ-
Language. Doctoral students will be
required to demonstrate proficiency in one
language besides English, the language
to be approved by the department and
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 members of the D.M.A.
Committee, other languages may fulfill
the requirement 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. Ensemble credits cannot be counted as elective
credits. Questions about the appropriateness 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
101
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 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 international student advisor for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical
Training. Students in F-1 status must have
been lawfully enrolled in school on a fulltime basis for at least one academic year
before they are eligible for practical training. CPT must be undertaken prior to the
completion of a course of study.
Preliminary oral examination. The
third-semester preliminary oral examination 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 examination is to identify areas in which the student 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 satisfactorily passed all qualifying examinations.
In order to be eligible to take the qualifying examinations the student must have
completed all coursework, at least two
recitals, and satisfied the language requirement. 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. candidates, the final recital will be a lecturerecital. 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.
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 timetable 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, criticism, performance practice, development
of a critical edition, etc. For composition
majors, the dissertation will be a composition of major proportions as to length and
medium (e.g., a symphony) accompanied
by a substantial written commentary on it.
See also the statement on page 100 under
Portfolio of compositions (composition
majors).
102
Oral defense of dissertation: An oral
defense of the dissertation must immediately follow completion of the dissertation, 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.
1. Option A—dissertation
2. Option B—lecture-recital and
document
3. Option C—offered in piano (Ensemble
Arts) and voice (Performance/
Pedagogy)
Options are not available in all majors.

with outstanding musical and performance
ability who do not choose to include the
academic component of the Bachelor of
Music curriculum. Majors are available

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
Undergraduate Committee.

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 minimum residency of two years. At least 80

Graduate Performance Diploma
students when enrolled for lessons and
recitals.
The Graduate Performance Diploma
program is designed to meet the needs of
highly accomplished graduate-level performers who wish to pursue a more performance-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 program 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 recordings are required for some majors. For the
Graduate Performance Diploma in Chamber Music, all students must be accepted
into the studio of a major teacher in their
applied area. There are no additional
audition requirements for the Chamber
Music GPD. For more information, go to
www.peabody.jhu.edu/chambermusic and
click on “Program Overview.”
Diploma Requirements
Residence. One year of full-time residency
is required, with two years of study generally 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
Performance requirements. In addition
to individual major lessons, chamber
music participation is an essential component of the Graduate Performance
Diploma program, and each student
admitted to the program is expected to
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 permission 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 necessarily a complete role) during each semester 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 performance experience as possible, both inside
and outside the institution.
Prior to graduation, all Graduate Performance 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 associate dean for academic affairs or a faculty
member of the Graduate Committee will
review all submissions. The personal biography and performance resume are graduation requirements.
118
Ensembles. Graduate Performance
Diploma candidates majoring in orchestral
instruments must participate in the Peabody Symphony Orchestra, Peabody Concert Orchestra, or Peabody Wind Ensemble
during each semester of enrollment.
Organ majors have a two-semester Chorus
requirement which must be completed in
the first year of residency. There is no large
ensemble requirement for other Graduate
Performance Diploma candidates. Detailed
guidelines for ensemble participation are
published in the Student Handbook.
Related requirements. The student may
choose electives from music theory, musicology, repertoire studies, Curricular Practical 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 semester, 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 placement examinations and satisfy any review
requirements prior to enrolling in graduate-level courses.
All Graduate Performance Diploma
students are encouraged 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 international student advisor for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical
Training. Students in F-1 status must have
been lawfully enrolled in school on a fulltime basis for at least one academic year
before they are eligible for practical training. CPT must be undertaken prior to the
completion of a course of study.

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 demonstration of appropriate qualifications.
A student who has been dismissed from
a degree or certificate program at Peabody
may not enroll as an extension student
for at least one full semester following
dismissal. The student may apply for readmission after that semester, but Peabody
is under no obligation to grant readmission. The Conservatory reserves the right
to exclude at any time a student whose
academic standing or general conduct is
considered unsatisfactory.
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 several years and is seeking to refresh his/
her knowledge or improve pedagogical
or technical skills.
2. has a particular personal goal, and prefers 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 institution, or the equivalent of the Peabody
Performer’s Certificate, is required.
A student who has been dismissed from
a degree or certificate program at Peabody
may not enroll as an extension student
for at least one full semester following
dismissal. The student may apply for readmission after that semester, but Peabody
is under no obligation to grant readmission. The Conservatory reserves the right
to exclude at any time a student whose
academic standing or general conduct is
considered unsatisfactory.
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 validated in person upon the student’s arrival
at Peabody before Graduate Extension status 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 spaceavailable basis if the application process is
complete before registration.
Registration. The student may register
for applied study and/or any combination 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. Formal application for any change in graduate
program must be made with the Admissions 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 scholarship support.

law, the course will focus on trends, developments, and future challenges related to the social
relations of racism and power in America and in Brazil. (3,0) Hayes
260.237 Ethnographies of the Ordinary: The Politics of Identity
This course intends to improve students’ ability to see themselves and to see others not as
passive “members” of groups pre-defined by place, gender, occupation, race/ethnicity but as
actors who create identity in everyday performances of familiar “scripts” that falsely claim to
define who’s who. The course will engage students via a range of activities, including fieldwork (disciplined observation, interviewing, participation in community events, generating
cultural “texts”); analysis (finding the ordinary in extraordinary; identifying patterns of dispersion and cultural continuity); and interpretation (moving from recognition to meaning,
developing awareness of ethnocentrism). (3,0) Camp
136
AS 362-200 African-American Poetry & Poetics
This course will explore the category, history, and development of African-American poetry
from Phillis Wheatley to the present. We will focus on poetry and poetics specifically but
will consider the general movement of literature produced by African-American writers over
the course of three centuries. We will read works by the key contributors to this particular
American literary tradition with the goal of understanding the aesthetic, cultural, and critical legacy of African-American poetry to the American literary and musical sensibility of
the 21st century. From 18th-century odes to the blues, hip-hop, and rap traditions, we will
examine the role that race, cultural identity, legal status, and the impersonal structures (or
shackles) of poetic forms have played in shaping and reshaping African-American verse. This
class will be taught on the Homewood campus. Students can cross-register to enroll.
(3,0) Robbins
260.216 Twentieth-Century Aesthetics and Politics
This course will introduce students to the ways that the relationships among art (aesthetics
and critical theories of art), ideology, and politics were articulated in the 20th century. We
will look at politics in its broadest sense to mean “the total complex of relations between people living in society, and the relations or conduct in a particular area of experience especially
as seen or dealt with from a political point of view” (Merriam Webster). We will look specifically at the relationship between aesthetic innovation (including of course transgression) and
social/political revolutions; we will explore the many links between aesthetics, critical theory,
politics, and modernity. We will consider the different ways in which aesthetic discourse has
been caught up, implicated in, and called to serve process of revolution in the modern period.
We will read writers such as Mao, Lenin, Trotsky, Brecht, Georg Lukács, Theodor W. Adorno,
and Walter Benjamin. (0,3) Robbins
260.222 Introduction to Interpretation
This course will help you to develop reading and writing skills, to expand your understanding of aesthetic and rhetorical principles, and to introduce you to the discipline of literary
study. You will learn how to read and interpret literary texts from poetry, short fiction, and
novels to drama and film. You will be introduced to traditional interpretive approaches and
theories and learn to be active (as opposed to passive) readers. You will develop a critical
vocabulary to help you read and interpret literary texts, to articulate your own points of view,
and locate your own positions within current theoretical debates. This course will help you to
improve your paper-writing skills for all future classes at Peabody. Texts include poetry, one
play (Twelfth Night), one novel (Lolita), and one film (The Big Lebowski). (0,3) Robbins
260.236 Science and Religion
This course explores science and religion both as complementary and as competing ways by
which individuals have sought to understand the world and their place within it. Analysis of
the recently published Science, Evolution, and Creationism by the National Academy of Science
(2008) will show how contemporaries distinguish science and religion as separate modes of
inquiry and understanding, while assessment of earlier commentators and scientific thinkers
will reveal an overlap and compatibility that often goes unrecognized today. The class will
study a range of primary documents, reaching back to the practitioners of alchemy, astrology,
and natural magic—many of whom were profoundly religious—whose quest for the secrets of
nature and spiritual forces gave birth to modern scientific inquiry. (0,3) R. Levy
290.111 Introduction to Psychology

America to the present day by learning about its major instrumentalists, ensembles, composers, arrangers, innovators, revivalists, and revisionists. 2) The Methods—a survey of the
techniques and processes that have been employed by jazz musicians throughout its history
to help make it into the highly structured and evolved art form that it is today. Students will
receive limited firsthand performance, arranging, and composing experience, along with lectures, demonstrations, and extensive discussion. Improvisation is an essential element of daily

Institutional Aid Programs
Scholarships, Awards, Prizes
Peabody Scholarships are awarded based
on the merit, talent, and financial need of
the student and the needs of the school
for a balanced ensemble. All students are
considered for Peabody Scholarship when
they apply for admission; however, only
students who submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
or the International Student Financial
Aid and Scholarship Application by
February 1 will be considered for amounts
higher than $10,000. Students receive
written notification of scholarship award
with the acceptance letter. All scholarships are for one year and are renewed
annually for the duration (8 semesters for
undergraduate students and 4 semesters
for graduate students) of a student’s degree
or certificate, depending on the progress
of the student as indicated by examination and grade-point average. The amount
of Peabody Scholarship remains the same
throughout a student’s program, provided the student maintains satisfactory
academic progress. Peabody Scholarships
will not increase in subsequent years in
the same program, and students cannot
re-audition in the same program for a new
scholarship or to increase current scholarship. Completing a satisfactory jury is a
personal benefit to the student and will
not result in a Peabody Scholarship award
or increase.
Scholarship is not awarded to students
in the Doctor of Musical Arts program.
Applicants to the D.M.A. are encouraged
to apply for graduate assistantships.
Auditions are held by the departmental
faculties and by the traveling admissions
representative on the dates indicated in
the admissions packet.
Designated Scholarships, Awards, Prizes
Many scholarships, awards, and prizes
are made possible through the generosity
of various individuals and organizations.
They are made to outstanding students
based on terms specified by the donors.

Peabody Career Development Fund
The Peabody Career Development Fund
was established in 1986 to assist eligible
students and recent alumni in the development 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 fulltime degree or diploma candidates. A
graduate assistantship is awarded on the
basis of previous academic record, placement examination results, and a personal
interview/audition in the specific area of
interest. Assistantships are available in the
following areas:
accompanying
bibliography
chamber music
composition
computer music
conducting
ear-training
guitar
jazz
liberal arts
music education
musicology
music theory
opera accompanying
piano maintenance
piano teaching
recording arts
voice
wind conducting
Responsibilities. Full-time graduate
assistants are expected to assist the faculty 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 Conservatory 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 recommendation of the faculty, may be extended
to a maximum of two years. Only under
extraordinary circumstances may an assistantship be renewed for a third year. This
requires a recommendation from the faculty and approval of the dean.
Retention of assistantship. Students
holding graduate assistantships must
maintain a consistently high level of
performance 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 fulltime 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
the necessary paperwork with the Office
of Human Resources and Payroll Services.
Students are encouraged to apply for available 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 information may be obtained through the Office
of Human Resources and Payroll Services,
or by calling 410-659-8100, ext. 3050.
