The Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University

Peabody accepts around 57% of its graduate applicants. The percentage is significantly higher for orchestral instruments, and lower in piano and voice. Graduate level audition requirements are rather general--stating only that a full recital of various musical periods and styles must be prepared. Keep in mind that our graduate programs are built on the assumption that students entering will have a background at least equivalent to a Bachelor of Music (or Master of Music) degree from a selective school like Peabody. Applicants with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a music major can be considered for admission to an MM program. We use the results of the theory and eartraining placement tests as indicators of sufficient background.
