The enrollment request form for SP25 will re-open in November during pre-registration week.
Online request forms and audition videos are due 15 December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Homewood students may take lessons at either the Peabody Conservatory or the Peabody Preparatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peabody Conservatory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Individual music instruction through Peabody Conservatory<\/a>, called the Minor Lesson Program, is designed for students with significant experience as instrumentalists, vocalists, or composers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons are offered on Peabody\u2019s Mt. Vernon campus on a space-available basis, and these lessons are provided in 13-week segments each semester. Thirty-minute lessons earn one academic credit; hour lessons earn two credits. Each student must perform an exit exam (as determined by the instructor) each semester of enrollment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Auditions are necessary to register for minor lessons, which earn credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auditions for admission are by video submission. The online enrollment request (see below) will automatically link new students to a page that will provide specific instructions to start the audition process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the videos, students must prepare two contrasting works<\/em> (styles, periods, etc) showing the current level of development on the instrument. Memorization for classical instrumentalists and vocalists is not required but strongly preferred for at least one work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing the Peabody online enrollment application and audition does not guarantee acceptance to the Minor Lesson Program at Peabody Conservatory. Typically, accepted students have been playing an instrument or singing for a number of years and have received formal training. Studio space is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New first-year students are encouraged to apply in summer, even if they are unsure of credits loads and limits for their first semester. Often, acceptance can be deferred until spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required Enrollment Request Form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each semester, all new and returning students<\/em> must complete and submit this form<\/a> by the winter or summer deadlines. Peabody\u2019s registrar will not allow students to register for lessons without this form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
