The Peabody Piano Department boasts a rich legacy of musical distinction that originated with Arthur Friedheim, a pupil of Franz Liszt. Over the years, numerous celebrated musicians have mentored our students, shaping them into both accomplished artists and skilled pianists. This enduring tradition thrives today under the influence of the legendary Leon Fleisher, whose teaching lineage extends to Beethoven, alongside our faculty of internationally acclaimed performers. Our instructors come from varied backgrounds and educational experiences, yet share a profound dedication to nurturing our students' growth and artistic development. The Artist Diploma program, tailored for outstanding performers with substantial experience, focuses on advanced repertoire to equip those preparing for professional careers in music.
