"Chamber music- small ensembles performing with one person to a part and without a conductor--comprises some of the most challenging, rewarding, and memorable musical experiences a student will have. Chamber music study develops leadership and interpersonal skills, critical thinking, and challenges students to incorporate soloistic playing in an ensemble setting. For the student who wishes to pursue a career in music, chamber music is an essential component of a complete musical education. For all students, chamber music opens up new possibilities for advancement and enjoyment. The Peabody chamber music program provides weekly instruction for the intermediate to advanced musician. The program consists of weekly coachings, guest masterclasses, special events, and performances. Each group will be responsible for one hour of self-directed rehearsal time per week, either on or off campus. Students will be placed in an ensemble following the placement audition. Pre-formed groups are encouraged to apply (minimum of three players). New and returning chamber music students must attend placement. Private study at the Preparatory is not a pre-requisite for acceptance. All new and returning chamber music students must call the Preparatory Office at 667-208-6640 to schedule and audition/placement appointment. Prior to placement, students will submit their schedules, and the coordinator will place them with a group and coach, and identify coaching and rehearsal times."
