The Woodwind, Brass and Percussion Academy brings together highly motivated students at the upper intermediate and advanced levels to grow in a collaborative and challenging environment. The Academy nurtures students musical and personal growth through individual instruction, ensembles, performance opportunities, master classes, enrichment activities, special events, career guidance and feedback.
The Academy curriculum prepares students for college and professional level studies. As such, the program is for students who want to pursue a career in music and for students with other professional aspirations for whom music is their major non-academic endeavor.
The intensive Academy curriculum takes place on Saturdays at Peabody's main campus in the heart of Baltimore's Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Academy students must commit to the complete curriculum and attend classes and rehearsals weekly.
