Music schools in the United States

Many universities in the United States have schools of music. Some of these music schools refer to themselves as conservatories, and some were founded as independent conservatories before later becoming affiliated with a larger institution; one such example is the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University.^[2] Some conservatories affiliated with universities, such as the Peabody Institute and the Eastman School of Music (at the University of Rochester), are located on separate campuses from their parent institutions.^[3][4]
