The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University

The number of flutists applying to major music schools is very large, so all applicants are pre-screened by CD recording.  Successful applicants tend to focus on the instrument's solo capabilities as well as serious band and/or orchestral playing. Typical successful applicants have had private lessons for at least five years, and have been praised for their musicality in the public performance of difficult music. If your teacher thinks you are one of the best players in your state or region, it is reasonable to apply.
