The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University

This program is built on the music performance program, and includes special courses which lead to certification for teaching public school music in the United States. As such, it is not well suited for international students who will be returning home after graduating. In most majors, this program also includes a certificate indicating that the graduate has completed all the performance requirements of a performance degree. Thus, the proficiency level in the major instrument (or voice) necessary for entrance is the same as it is for performance majors. More applicants are rejected because of low performance scores than for any other reason, so see the section about your performance major to get an idea of the entrance standards.  Once accepted in your performance major, the odds of being accepted in the music education program are high.
