The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University

Hopkins students may take lessons at either the Peabody Conservatory or the Peabody Preparatory.

Lessons at the Peabody Conservatory, called Minor Lessons, are designed for people with significant experience on their instrument. Minor Lessons are by audition only. Contact the Homewood (or your home school) Office of Academic Advising or the Office of the Registrar and request The Peabody Conservatory of Music Interdivisional Program – Initial Enrollment Form and an interdivisional registration form.  You will be signed up for an audition at Peabody which will take place shortly before the start of classes each semester. Paperwork needs to be received by early August for lessons during the fall semester. Lessons may be a half hour or an hour. They cost $175 per half hour ($180 for voice), and you receive one elective credit per half hour.

The Peabody Preparatory serves the broader musical community. Its students range in age from infants to senior citizens and in skill from beginners to soon-to-be-professionals. Former students include Philip Glass, Hilary Hahn, and Tori Amos. An audition is not necessary to enroll in Preparatory lessons, although one may be necessary for teacher assignment purposes. Register on-line at www.peabody.jhu.edu/register, or receive a hard copy registration form by calling 410-234-4630. You will also need a Cross Registration form from the Homewood (or your home school) Office of the Registrar. Paperwork should be received by mid-August for lessons during the fall semester. Lessons may be a half hour, forty-five minutes, or an hour. Lessons cost $712 for a half hour, $1068 for forty-five minutes, and $1,424 for an hour. You do not receive elective credit for lessons at the Preparatory.
