I really like this video because it makes juilliard a lot less scary. I'm training to audition for both juilliard and berklee and even though berklee is my first choice, I always fantasize being accepted to juilliard.
For several years I took classes in the Juilliard Evening Division. I would often wander around the practice room halls just to listen to what the students were playing, and how well they were playing it. It was awesome to be surrounded by such music, and such talented kids.But this video shows us the human side of what you all go through - or went through. I really enjoyed hearing all the different perspectives and seeing how you all manage to keep a good sense of humor. Thanks for posting this.
+tonshaad1230 I can imagine that when you're between the best of the best you just want to keep the standard high as a group of students. These people know they will get a job. There would be no need to create a unhealthy competition.
figure out why, if, it is really your dream school and keep pursuing those aspects in your own practices and life. you obviously don't want to get a giant ego only to find you don't get in... but believe it's at least plausible. know your worth.
God I’m so happy you’re breaking the stigma of “oh ho ho I’m in an Ivy League school oui oui im better than you” type of attitude people tend to expect from kids in colleges like Juilliard and Harvard etc.. you seem like a super fun person, I’d totally hang out with you if were in Juilliard.
I didn't know what to expect but I thought it would be more competitive and watching more things on Juilliard and reading things just confirm I want to audition for the drama department. I'm so excited. And these are the type of people I love so I would so fit in 😆
I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! I grew up as a musician and went, surprisingly, into DANCE! Long story. Anyway, I have the good fortune to have friends who have gone to Julliard and colleagues too. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!
+ThatViolaKid Yes, especially given what I've heard about the extreme competitive nature of their dance department. Everything said here sounds like where I went to school, though, which surprises me a lot.
Abby Williams music lol ;) I played 4 instruments. Recorder, violin, piano, and Keyboard. Now I only play piano and keyboard. Been playing since I was 4 years old. I'm self taught and can play by ear.
We go for the coffee, humbling bathrooms, elevators, and, of course, the abundance of practice rooms..... right, rofl. This was hilarious!! It was the perfect thing to unwind with to enjoy the rest of my Sunday. Success yet again for ThatViolaKid :D
The good old practice room struggle hahaha. I'm at Nazareth College and whenever I find a practice room that's available it's like winning the lottery xD
This is my little girl dream school. She attends a preforming Arts 🎭 school since she was 4yrs old and is still attending. I pray she gets accepted. What are the auditions like? Next summer I plan on scheduling a tour so that we can visit the school.
Yakima Fernandez I agree with the quote about competitiveness; I went to The Cooper Union, and I didn't find it competitive once I got in. Most of the kids were supportive of each other.
LOL! "It's not competitive at all!" As if! Back in the mid-90s I had a friend accepted to Juilliard who was doing the same things as me in my own music school. But, she told me the only difference was that the students all hate each other because they view each other as their competition!
I love this mainly because it made me more calm about my application. I haven’t heard back as of now, but I know now that if I do get an audition and get accepted that the community is so lively within the students and you can grow many friendships and you can be yourself!
Wow! I am a young violist myself and I started about a year ago and I love it. I also play piano and sing. So, about the practice rooms, are they're really so few of them??
amber kiley Haha there are a lot of practice rooms, but there are just sooooo many people! It's challenging to find a free room at peak hours cuz everyone wants to practice at the same time! Haha
A DREAM! I live on the other aide of the world though... Luckily Finland has a great music school, Sibelius Academy. That's my goal for now but Juilliard and New York seems amazing
I'm a freshman in high school this year and I play decent on the piano, but not very great. I saved up money for extensive lessons. This is my dream school, and until now I never had motivation to even try julliard. This channel has given motivation to do what I want to do. Thanks (((((:
Dana Beattie Frankly, I'm super nervous about sharing this with Juilliard administration. They're so picky about their brand :) What if I would have to take the video down?? :(
Did y'all see her face when she said you can always find a practice room....I died....No but seriously this was some great information and over the past few days I have watched all of your videos about Julliard about three times each(because I have wanted to go there since I was in fifth grade) so thank you for this amazing content that stays interesting.
I play trombone and have been for 3-4 years now and I’m first chair. My dream school is Juilliard. I love performing music and would love to continue with it and grow more but I doubt I’ll make it.
I want to go here so badly, it hurts. I can't audition for another two years, but it makes me nervous just thinking about wanting to go here. It would be such an honor and feel like I could learn so much from just attending.Ugh I'm so passionate about my craft, I could cry!
At Juilliard, musicianship and artistry are developed as a means to engage and inspire our local and global communities. Juilliard creates countless pathways for students to explore.

I go to science school. All I need is a computer and I get access to my textbooks and journals. It's all reading, you spend more time reading than in the lab. My eyes are getting worse for it and I get brain fog. I wish we had a dance or acting class between classes to to open up our minds because I think your creativity dies when you read facts all the time. They tell us to be creative to come up with hypothesis but I think art would help with that. I try and do something creative to train myself to think outside the box, I do creative dance. I believe art is really important for thinking outside the box.
If I have a passion for Music but only discovered it 2 years ago, what are the Benefits and Drawbacks of going to a Music School. I'm 17 in my Senior Year of high school, trying to figure out what to do after I graduate. I'm taking Guitar, Piano and AP Music Theory at my school.
Jeremy Buenaventura im having the same problem! I'm in my junior year of high school and I've been in band since 5th grade, but I just joined choir for the first time and I think I want to do that in college, but I feel as if I started too late
I realize that this was posted ages ago, however I would like to put in my two cents. I feel the same way. I'm and actress, and that's what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I only truly discovered my passion for theatre as a freshman, and I'm going into grade 12 this year. I have no formal vocal training or any acting experience outside of school, so I have similar feelings
I was in the same boat throughout most of high school. I am a mezzo-soprano (and beginning contrabassist, but I don't plan on playing professionally), and I never attended a school with a music program growing up. I participated in my city's orchestra as a chorister, but my experience kind of ended there. I started college as a non-music major and instantly regretted it. I am currently a music minor at a conservatory, and will be auditioning to switch my major to Music Therapy/Education. Moral of the story is: You should always follow your dreams. However, they will not come easy. But it is possible. You just might need to take a slightly different route than your peers who have been taking lessons since they were two.
Hi.... So do you still have a chance to get into Juilliard if you are not a straight A student but are talented and passionate about your art? Or do you have to basically be a straight A student.....?
From experience - Juilliard also graduates some less than virtuosi players and plain mediocre ones as well. I do not speak for Strings, Piano or Vocal graduates.
I'm 21 years old, getting a degree in the social sciences at NYU. I really regret not considering trying to go to a school for musical performance when I was applying to colleges in high school, since I loved percussion so much and worked so hard at it. Oh well, guess it's a lost dream!
Big ups for the cool cats! Funny. I took some music in college and hated how practice rooms felt so isolated; I couldn't cope with that at all. Music's supposed to be about feeling free--resonance, creating an ambience--not uptight and in a cubicle. Anyone else feelin' it?
I was really mad mad dad when my grandma said I can't do acting because it dumb instead she gave my a doctor's coat and books and told me study. So I had to stop acting
Hi! Thanks so much for your video, it looks like you guys have a lot of fun! Have you seen the movie Whiplash? I heard it's based off of Juilliard and I was wondering if there is an atmosphere that drives people to hate their music rather than love it. I know it's competitive, but does it cross a line into insanity? Thanks!
Zach C Hahaha thanks for the question bro! I have not seen Whiplash, but I've heard of it and I can definitely say it's not based on Juilliard. The environment is definitely not like that. Most teachers don't go make their students go insane. I think many of the aspects in the movie are an exaggeration of real life! Pay it no mind :)
Are there any vocalists that are going there who don't want to do Opera? I mean Lady Gaga comes to mind lol but I got accepted to Berklee but I might want to hold off if this is a better program.
+Martin Manweiler Did you get accepted to Juilliard? Classical training is a good foundation to have because it teaches you to understand the anatomy and mechanics of singing. It'll help you avoid injury later on in your career
+ThatViolaKid I didn't apply this semester. I have had a bit of operatic training it's not really where my heart is entirely. More of a crossover Josh Groban type thing but more contemporary is my preference. I would have to get a scholarship to attend as that's why I'm not really going to Berklee, so much $$.
I used to be impressed by schools with the names. (You know the so called Ivy Leagued schools) But not any more. I see schools like that now through a different lens. Like Juilliard for example, it is easy to take in students who are already at the top of their craft, having worked, trained and been taught for years by other teachers, instructors, coaches, private tutors, etc including their high school and maybe even middle school music teachers. They have practiced their asses off for years night and day to be as good as they are. Juilliard takes someone in already on the 99th rung of the 100 rung ladder (that audition process, only going for the best) and then refines and tweaks them and then gets ALL the credit. Of course Juilliard; look at what you started out with. Juilliard and schools like it would impress me more if they took a raw student and taught, coached, trained & made them into a virtuoso or brought them to the top. Now that would be A school and be more impressive to me. I mean it is what A school is designed to do, teach. If you are that good as a school, let me see you take someone who isn’t already at or on the 98th or 99th rung of the ladder, but who is say on the 60th or 45th rung and (teach) bring them to the 100th rung, the top. Now that would really impress me. But, hey it is what it is and this is just an observation.
+vanessa valentine It isn't overtly compeitive or anything like that. Sure, there's a bit of healthy competition out there, but there is very little hardcore "i wanna destroy you" competition from what I can tell. But hey, I'm a grad student haha. I'm barely ever in the school anyway :D
+ThatViolaKid my friend is a viola player and is on track for going, he is in one of the programs at the school, I wish to go here as well, i feel like it would be a great thing for me, the environment looks like somewhere i would like to be and i could always practice and learn as well as play with others and learn that way, if I get in I would love to meet you, if you are still there that is:)
+ThatViolaKid also, if you are not the top of the top, is it still possible to get in? Can i advance from a lower degree on a lower level, or is it cut and dry "You must be the best or you must not go"?
I can't really say! All I know is that it's up to the teachers to decide! Focus on being the best you can be, and show them that you are someone they want to mold! That's really all there is to it!
ThatViolaKid yeah, ok sorry if i'm bothering you i was really antsy and tired when i was writing last, my apologies, stupid question only I can change the answer to.
+Music Man I don't think you can. However, I don't know for sure! Either way, I promise, you wouldn't want to--it's insanely tough. I do know that you can do a Juilliard-Columbia Exchange where you take classes at Columbia and take lessons at Juilliard!
I'm from Russia. I practice electric guitar, but I have no money. Are there any scholarships and chances for admission if there is an electric guitar faculty. Please answer, it is very important to me !!!
Tbh Juilliard is my dream school. It always has been since 7th grade. I’m just scared I won’t get in. So many have already been practicing and are super good at instruments. I just feel like I should have started years ago playing an instrument. I feel like it’s too late to start now and I will never be as good as people that go to Juilliard. I know that by saying this it puts me down but like I’m just super scared because I’m not studying anything but music. I’m trying to become a successful musician one day and I’m scared that if that doesn’t work, then I will have no plan in the future. I’m scared that I won’t become successful or I won’t have an alternative just in case my dream doesn’t work out. Rejection is always going to be my biggest fear. I just don’t know what to do. Any advice?
I'm now having to actually consider auditioning for colleges and I am truly afraid. Auditioning for highschools was hard enough, COLLEGES??? Lord help me lol
YOU have just given me a GREAT Idea... I am an Acting Director, getting ready to reopen my Acting Studio. I was retired (I'm 67 years old) but miss teaching... I am also a NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programmer) Hypnotherapist... I am going to advertise to "Help" people not only for ACTING but also for Auditioning for Jobs and Colleges... If you get a chance talk to a normal acting teacher that is good at helping their students to Audition... or go to a NLP/Hypnotist ... I just realized this has been 1 year... How did you do?
@@judichristopher4604 I actually have applied to most of my schools! I'm really hoping to go to NYU as a recorded music major, but I have a few other options. Cool to see you checked back in haha!
quick question, i know that Juilliard focuses mainly on opera for voice, but do they also teach you to make songs and sing like beyonce, or Mariah Carey, just kind of their type of music i guess you can say?
hey drew! I have a question when you where at (McDuffie university) and now in juliard did and do you get paid for you work?,if not how did and do you support yourself?
1:13 Michael Caine style? 3:10 sounds like the cafe staff should be the teachers. 3:58 he should do the awkward thieve in an indie film. 4:22 cool surname!

Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed this!!! :)
Did she just say Juilliard's not competitive?
+tonshaad1230 It's not THAT competitve, but it was mostly meant as a joke!
+tonshaad1230 I can imagine that when you're between the best of the best you just want to keep the standard high as a group of students. These people know they will get a job. There would be no need to create a unhealthy competition.
downtown82 Yeah! I think the competition is very healthy for the most part!
This is hilarious. Especially the part with the stairs that are supposed to be scale lol.
Awww thanks! =)
ThatViolaKid anytime, man!
is everyone being sarcastic?
+ZekePlayz Kinda?? lol
when they started talking about the practice rooms i figured that they were lmao
The part about the elevators is too true hahahah 😂😂😂
Katherine Lee Althen IKR!! Trevor nailed it on the HEAD tho hahaha
stupidly enough, this is my dream school even though there is no way i can get in :( :( :(
No you can't.
FAITHandLOGIC i know.....I'm fully aware
Desiree Martinez He's right tho. But yeah I will practice anyway :)
Practice hours and hours everyday. Yes, it is a hard school to get into but don't give up.
figure out why, if, it is really your dream school and keep pursuing those aspects in your own practices and life. you obviously don't want to get a giant ego only to find you don't get in... but believe it's at least plausible. know your worth.
God I’m so happy you’re breaking the stigma of “oh ho ho I’m in an Ivy League school oui oui im better than you” type of attitude people tend to expect from kids in colleges like Juilliard and Harvard etc.. you seem like a super fun person, I’d totally hang out with you if were in Juilliard.
I didn't know what to expect but I thought it would be more competitive and watching more things on Juilliard and reading things just confirm I want to audition for the drama department. I'm so excited. And these are the type of people I love so I would so fit in 😆
lol the elevators. 😂
You all look so fun!! That's an amazing place.
Kiana Blader Awww haha thanks Kiana! :D We like to work hard, but we play even harder!!!

Do Juilliard students act differently than you expected??? :)
Haha! They're great! Sounds like a place I'd want to be.
Maxi Davis It's definitely a warm place! I feel absolutely privileged to be able to attend school here! :)
Not really, it's just about what I expected from Juilliard

+ThatViolaKid Yes, especially given what I've heard about the extreme competitive nature of their dance department. Everything said here sounds like where I went to school, though, which surprises me a lot.
I'm actually going to go to Julliard for college.

Tony Tone Haha maybe sometime this summer! I'm hella swamped at the moment! That sounds like fun though!!!!
yeah dude, for sure. keep up the grind man
The tuition?
Big ups for the cool cats! Funny. I took some music in college and hated how practice rooms felt so isolated; I couldn't cope with that at all. Music's supposed to be about feeling free--resonance, creating an ambience--not uptight and in a cubicle. Anyone else feelin' it?
Juilliard is my dream school and I’m hoping that I can get in and show people what I can do☺️
When ur apartment building is in the video lmao
👌
This is my dream university I hope one day I will apply and they will accept me
hahahaha loooooove it already!!!!
xD
what is the voice section of julliard like? both the solo and choral.
+Christopher Williams I actually don't know! I don't have any vocal friends :(
What camera do you use? I love the quality of this video!
+Artem Kolesov Thanks man! I truly appreciate that! I didn't use anything special--just my Canon Rebel SL1!
Nice video man :)
Thank you!
Trevor is hilarious xD
this was my dream school but sadly, my parents wouldn't support me for music : (
I was really mad mad dad when my grandma said I can't do acting because it dumb instead she gave my a doctor's coat and books and told me study. So I had to stop acting
Hi! Thanks so much for your video, it looks like you guys have a lot of fun! Have you seen the movie Whiplash? I heard it's based off of Juilliard and I was wondering if there is an atmosphere that drives people to hate their music rather than love it. I know it's competitive, but does it cross a line into insanity? Thanks!
Zach C Hahaha thanks for the question bro! I have not seen Whiplash, but I've heard of it and I can definitely say it's not based on Juilliard. The environment is definitely not like that. Most teachers don't go make their students go insane. I think many of the aspects in the movie are an exaggeration of real life! Pay it no mind :)
ThatViolaKid Thanks so much!
I like trevor
+sean mcdonald Hahaha I do too! He's such a cool guy!
Have you ever get confused about which way to go at juilliard?
Not really! Not after the first week or so
I have a question, its a college or an university? Are there people of all countries?
+Apple&Pears It's a conservatory! It's different than a university or a college. And there are plenty of people from all over the world!
The elevator 😂
Well it's true fact every school you go...
Crack me out bro
Are there any vocalists that are going there who don't want to do Opera? I mean Lady Gaga comes to mind lol but I got accepted to Berklee but I might want to hold off if this is a better program.
+Martin Manweiler Did you get accepted to Juilliard? Classical training is a good foundation to have because it teaches you to understand the anatomy and mechanics of singing. It'll help you avoid injury later on in your career
+ThatViolaKid I didn't apply this semester. I have had a bit of operatic training it's not really where my heart is entirely. More of a crossover Josh Groban type thing but more contemporary is my preference. I would have to get a scholarship to attend as that's why I'm not really going to Berklee, so much $$.
Martin Manweiler It's all expensive homie! That's the harsh reality, unfortunately
Is there any way to play marimba in a school like this???? If not i can play violin but it's not my #1 😕
RIP
I used to be impressed by schools with the names. (You know the so called Ivy Leagued schools) But not any more. I see schools like that now through a different lens. Like Juilliard for example, it is easy to take in students who are already at the top of their craft, having worked, trained and been taught for years by other teachers, instructors, coaches, private tutors, etc including their high school and maybe even middle school music teachers. They have practiced their asses off for years night and day to be as good as they are. Juilliard takes someone in already on the 99th rung of the 100 rung ladder (that audition process, only going for the best) and then refines and tweaks them and then gets ALL the credit. Of course Juilliard; look at what you started out with.
Juilliard and schools like it would impress me more if they took a raw student and taught, coached, trained & made them into a virtuoso or brought them to the top. Now that would be A school and be more impressive to me. I mean it is what A school is designed to do, teach. If you are that good as a school, let me see you take someone who isn’t already at or on the 98th or 99th rung of the ladder, but who is say on the 60th or 45th rung and (teach) bring them to the 100th rung, the top. Now that would really impress me. But, hey it is what it is and this is just an observation.
Can u tour your dorm room please???
Haha I don't live in a dorm lol
when they said it was not competitive (with the other students) were they being serious or joking? i wasn't sure if it was sarcasm!
+vanessa valentine It isn't overtly compeitive or anything like that. Sure, there's a bit of healthy competition out there, but there is very little hardcore "i wanna destroy you" competition from what I can tell. But hey, I'm a grad student haha. I'm barely ever in the school anyway :D
+ThatViolaKid my friend is a viola player and is on track for going, he is in one of the programs at the school, I wish to go here as well, i feel like it would be a great thing for me, the environment looks like somewhere i would like to be and i could always practice and learn as well as play with others and learn that way, if I get in I would love to meet you, if you are still there that is:)
+ThatViolaKid also, if you are not the top of the top, is it still possible to get in? Can i advance from a lower degree on a lower level, or is it cut and dry "You must be the best or you must not go"?
I can't really say! All I know is that it's up to the teachers to decide! Focus on being the best you can be, and show them that you are someone they want to mold! That's really all there is to it!
ThatViolaKid yeah, ok sorry if i'm bothering you i was really antsy and tired when i was writing last, my apologies, stupid question only I can change the answer to.
can you double major at juilliard
+Music Man I don't think you can. However, I don't know for sure! Either way, I promise, you wouldn't want to--it's insanely tough. I do know that you can do a Juilliard-Columbia Exchange where you take classes at Columbia and take lessons at Juilliard!
im not sure how much actual sarcasm is in this vid
I'm from Russia. I practice electric guitar, but I have no money. Are there any scholarships and chances for admission if there is an electric guitar faculty. Please answer, it is very important to me !!!
Tbh Juilliard is my dream school. It always has been since 7th grade. I’m just scared I won’t get in. So many have already been practicing and are super good at instruments. I just feel like I should have started years ago playing an instrument. I feel like it’s too late to start now and I will never be as good as people that go to Juilliard. I know that by saying this it puts me down but like I’m just super scared because I’m not studying anything but music. I’m trying to become a successful musician one day and I’m scared that if that doesn’t work, then I will have no plan in the future. I’m scared that I won’t become successful or I won’t have an alternative just in case my dream doesn’t work out. Rejection is always going to be my biggest fear. I just don’t know what to do. Any advice?
I'm now having to actually consider auditioning for colleges and I am truly afraid. Auditioning for highschools was hard enough, COLLEGES??? Lord help me lol
YOU have just given me a GREAT Idea...
I am an Acting Director, getting ready to reopen my Acting Studio.
I was retired (I'm 67 years old) but miss teaching... I am also a NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programmer) Hypnotherapist...
I am going to advertise to "Help" people not only for ACTING but also for Auditioning for Jobs and Colleges... If you get a chance talk to a normal acting teacher that is good at helping their students to Audition... or go to a NLP/Hypnotist ...
I just realized this has been 1 year... How did you do?
@@judichristopher4604 I actually have applied to most of my schools! I'm really hoping to go to NYU as a recorded music major, but I have a few other options. Cool to see you checked back in haha!
@@diondredunigan2583
I am so Happy for YOU...
@@judichristopher4604
should i audition for juilliard as a freshman or should i do community college first??
quick question, i know that Juilliard focuses mainly on opera for voice, but do they also teach you to make songs and sing like beyonce, or Mariah Carey, just kind of their type of music i guess you can say?
I don't know, but I doubt it. It's all about the classical style
Thanks
Lincoln vs Ford, Alexis Ford 111s
this is a amazing :D
moises barreto Thanks homie! I really appreciate that!
hey drew! I have a question when you where at (McDuffie university) and now in juliard did and do you get paid for you work?,if not how did and do you support yourself?
+Patricia Diaz I did work haha. But I mostly support myself with college loan and the occasional gig here and there
1:13 Michael Caine style?
3:10 sounds like the cafe staff should be the teachers.
3:58 he should do the awkward thieve in an indie film.
4:22 cool surname!

Hopefully I run into you next year!!!😝😝😝😝
kaydee oliver I think it's bound to happen! Just look for the random guy sleeping in the student lounge lol
