Founded in 1967 by composer Jean Eichelberger Ivey, the Peabody Electronic Music Studio was the first electronic music program at any American conservatory. Now more than 50 years later, Peabody Computer Music continues to lead as one of the most vibrant and forward-looking music technology programs in the nation.

Peabody Computer Music offers both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, combining the rigorous musical and academic curriculum of the Peabody Conservatory with specialized courses in Electronic Music and Music Technology.

The robust and varied Computer Music curriculum offers courses ranging from the use of technology in creative music-making to the development of new electronic music technologies that will shape future musical culture. Classes focus on Electronic Music Composition and Production, Analog and Digital Synthesis, Hip Hop Production, Computer Music Programming, Surround Sound Mixing Techniques, Physical Computing, Audio-Visual Composition, and more.

A highlight of our curriculum is weekly composition/technology private meetings with faculty advisors to help students develop their own personal artistic voice and skill-set in music technology.

Students have 24 hour access to our state-of-the-art composition, mixing, and recording studios, which house a wide array of microphones, pre-amps, and mixing systems, as well as computers which are loaded with the latest software packages.
