Core Experiences

  • Performance Opportunities

    Performing before a live audience is an essential part of the Juilliard experience. Whether you are an instrumentalist, 歌手, 或作曲家, you will have frequent opportunities to share your art with the public. Most performances take place in one of Juilliard's superb auditoriums, but you will also have occasion to appear elsewhere at Lincoln Center, including David Geffen and Alice Tully halls, homes of the New York Philharmonic and the Chamber 音乐 Society; at other venues in New York City, such as Carnegie Hall, where the Juilliard Orchestra performs annually, the Blue Note Jazz Club, where Jazz students enjoy regular gigs, and the Museum of Modern Art, where the New Juilliard Ensemble appears in the Summergarden series; or on national and international tours.

  • Classroom Studies

    The 音乐 Division’s main areas of classroom instruction—Ear Training, 音乐 Theory and Analysis, 音乐的历史, and Keyboard Studies—complement your private lessons and performance experiences to broaden your understanding of the foundations of music and to provide a context for the music literature you study and perform. Juilliard’s Center for Innovation in the Arts equips students with skills to compose and perform music using new technology, and offers hands-on experience with state of the art equipment.

  • 文科

    Whatever your discipline, your development as an artist will be deepened by a foundation in the liberal 艺术, which provides the humanistic, 道德, 社会, 至关重要的, and aesthetic background essential to personal development and professional excellence.

Through your coursework in liberal 艺术, you will refine your skills in reading, 写作, 说话, and 至关重要的 thinking, and learn to communicate with greater clarity and effectiveness.

While some pursue positions in traditional settings, others are exploring new ways to create opportunities that are both creatively satisfying and financially sustainable. 艾伦·D.

The Artist as Citizen

A life in the 艺术 is about more than perfecting a single art form. Whatever you study at Juilliard, you will find a shared belief that to be a successful artist in the 21st century you must be not only a superb performer, but also an energetic 艺术 advocate, an informed citizen who understands the context of the 艺术 in society, and a communicator who can illuminate their value with people from all backgrounds.

As a Juilliard student you will be encouraged to use your talents to reach out to underserved communities, to bring the joy of dance, 戏剧, and music to public school children, residents of health care facilities, and others without access to traditional performing 艺术 venues, and to develop skills that will make you a leader in whatever environment you choose. As a Juilliard graduate, you will use these skill to help the 艺术 flourish for years to come.
