Even though it is in one of the nicest parts of Baltimore, cities are cities, so Peabody's entrances are monitored by security guards. There is also an escort van service available in the evening. The big news around Peabody is the opening of a new building containing the music library and fifty-one new practice rooms. We are especially proud of the practice rooms. Our students spend hours in them, so we avoided those little cubicals that make you feel like cotton is stuffed in your ears.
Practice rooms are open twenty-four hours a day.
When students need a change of scenery, they most often walk to Harbor Place and browse the shops, restaurants and markets. There is an Amtrak station a few blocks from the school. Philadelphia in about an hour, and New York in two and a half hours. The Bachelor of Music is a four-year performance degree program with majors in keyboard instruments, orchestral instruments, guitar, voice, jazz and composition. Peabody also offers a Bachelor of Music in Recording Arts and Sciences.
