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.
+John Jackson Very cool! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching!
this is 3 years late but did you ever get in to either? lol
Visualize > Fsntasize #Realize
Joy Faith as opposed to fantasize.
Same
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!
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.
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.
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed this!!! :)
is everyone being sarcastic?
+ZekePlayz Kinda?? lol
when they started talking about the practice rooms i figured that they were lmao
This is hilarious. Especially the part with the stairs that are supposed to be scale lol.
Awww thanks! =)
ThatViolaKid anytime, man!
lol the elevators. 😂
The part about the elevators is too true hahahah 😂😂😂
Katherine Lee Althen IKR!! Trevor nailed it on the HEAD tho hahaha
I'm actually going to go to Julliard for college.
Jasmine Li That's so cool!! Julliard is my dream school!!!😊👏🏼
Abby Williams me too but it's super hard to get into. You have to be a good student and have good talent to get in
Jasmine Li Thanks for the advice!! Good luck at Julliard!! What are you going for? (What I mean by that is dancer, actor, etcetera)😊💗
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.
Jasmine Li Wow that's so cool! I play piano too!
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
***** Lolololol yes we do :D
+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 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 😆
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
Hahahaha it's so crazy, right?
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.
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!!!
Very fitting I just got a star wars ad with adam driver in it.
This has been such a dream school I’ve had to force myself to dismissed it to look at others because I love it just that much like wow
I want to audition (for vocal)when I graduate (I'm a junior) and the school seems intimidating
camille sinclair It's just a school! Don't worry about it too much and go for it!!!
This made me feel so much better about getting in oh my god
I'm so happy to hear that!! Good luck!!
"They're supposed to play a scale but I don't know what scale that is."
Me, every time I try to practice oral recognition.
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!
I love the TVK and Friends videos the best!! 😆😄 Please do more!
+Tyler Chen Working on it man!! :D
Favorite video so far! 👍
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!!!!!!
Auditioning in March , so excited!!
How'd it go?
Did you get in?!
Sounds like a typical college experience!
+Kelly DeBardelaben (Dizneluver) Definitely :D
That was freaking hilarious 😂
Chloe Trevor Thanks Chloe! I'm so glad you liked it!!! :D
I saw Joshua at the Minnesota Orchestra Composers Institute Concert this year! His music is awesome. I am also an aspiring composer.
No wayyyy! So cool!
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
Valerie Wren Thank you so much for watching!!! You summarized everything so perfectly!!!!
yes! Finally someone who plays the viola!
I'm so thankful for this video!
Looks like you're friends with quite a few composers -- good move! :)
+rloomis3 Haha definitely ;)
Best way to get new rep for an instrument that could use more! (I can relate.)
@@rloomis3 I can't :(
@@classicalviolinist2325 Well, there's no shortage of rep for violin -- old and new.
@@rloomis3 When you can't afford anything, there is XD. I'm can't even print music :(
Really enjoyed the different thoughts and perspectives. I liked what was said about competitiveness at 1:22. Great video!
Yakima Fernandez Thanks for watching man!!! Yeah, Trevor is quite the dude!!! :D Are you studying music?
ThatViolaKid I am studying music! Violin performance at the University of New Mexico.
Yakima Fernandez Awesome bro!!! Great to meet you! :D
ThatViolaKid Great to meet you as well!
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.
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.
I like the cat guy. 😂
I am getting cello lessons and I have been singing since I was 18 months old, I was begging my mom to get me cello lessons and she agreed!
+Jordan Selfridge Awesome!!!! :D
What do they don't like about the school?
+David Lee Idk! I never asked them ;)
These videos about the Julliard are very interesting!
Matteo Mizera I'm so glad you're enjoying them!!! :D Thanks for watching!
You're awosome! Thankyou such a gooood video! I really wanna get into Julliard!
Love what your doing! I'm a fan.
Zach Dellinger Thank you so much homie!
my son plays cello and wants to attend Juilliard. thanks for posting these videos
Oh my goodness, we have the same goal! I'm currently on a break from practicing my audition program.
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. The link below is a video of the jazz song "Spain" played with the traditional Korean instrument "Haegeum".

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 (((((:
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
you guys are such goals!! this is the type of environment I want to submerge myself into.... !! :)
A clarinet player at my band camp (wtamu band camp) is going to Juilliard next year. Her name is Sydney, I think
I only hope I will make it in, I play horn and it's my dream to proceed to the highest level of playing.
+Jewel Stifel I'm sure you'll do well! Just go for it!!!!
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
I love your videos, thank you for bringing the value to this world. What is the piece that was played in the very end of your video?
This is so amazing. I NEED to get into Juilliard. Also everyone seems so nice. Keep up the great work at Juilliard. XD
Did you get in yet?
Dead Inside 40 lol I go to a different college now
@@alternativephotographer9463 I hope it works for you ❤️
Dead Inside 40 thank you! I hope you have a great day
@@alternativephotographer9463 thanks you too :)
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 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!
Scat I know I'm really late but........... was that a Dan and Phil reference?
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.
You need to share this with Caitlin Choi..... a former student of mine (violist, thankyouverymuch) who now works in contracts and HR. :)
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?? :(
hahahaha loooooove it already!!!!
xD
so im a singer and i want to go there and i dont know what to do
James Woods Have you seen my How to Get Into Juilliard video!! You'll be able to find some helpful hints to get you started!! :)
Me too sis
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.....?
+Nikki Nicole Grades don't really matter as much as musical talent!
should i audition for juilliard as a freshman or should i do community college first??
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.
Juilliard is my dream school and I’m hoping that I can get in and show people what I can do☺️
dude, we need to do a collab of the song Shatter Me by Lindsay Sterling and Lzzy Hale.
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
Another great video!! I love them so much. You my second favorite youtuber behind Casey Neistat. 😀👏🏾
Lance Gulley Hahah thank you buddy! Looks like I've got some work to do..huh? :D
Oh no, I meant it as a compliment. As he is a respected film maker. ThatViolaKid
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 :(
Is there any way to play marimba in a school like this???? If not i can play violin but it's not my #1 😕
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!
+Samonuh It's not necessarily lost! You can always go back and give it a try! You never know!
Nah, it's not realistic anymore.
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!
what is the age criteria for joining juilliard??
Ravel at the end though #YASSSS
+jamaal Stewart Hahahaha yeahhh :D
That whole quartet is awesome but Assez Vif is my fave movement
+jamaal Stewart It is all amazing! Ravel is bae
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?
The tuition?
Hollow I am going to a apply for the Juilliard art College prep school do you have any suggestions.
👌
Nice video man :)
Thank you!
Have you ever get confused about which way to go at juilliard?
Not really! Not after the first week or so
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.
This is my dream university I hope one day I will apply and they will accept me
Does juilliard have sitar degree classes?
I want to go to Juilliard but I’m only 9. I want to study jazz piano or violin. I also dance, but I don’t think they have breakdancing there.
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
this is a amazing :D
moises barreto Thanks homie! I really appreciate that!
Can u tour your dorm room please???
Haha I don't live in a dorm lol
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!
Is it worth it?
RIP
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!
how much does Juillard cost?
Yo how often is the faculty there tho?
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 !!!
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
im not sure how much actual sarcasm is in this vid
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?
Hey bud! (okay, not really my bud but ... yeah bud)
My biggest dream is to attend the Juilliard Drama School.
I am from abroad so it would already be a little hard to get accepted but please tell me... How do you afford these unbelievably high tuition fees? My Mom keeps telling me about that it is too high to ever pay back and that it therefore is impossible for me to attend the school. I just know that this is simply what I know I want to do and what I have to do in my life. So do you have any tips? Or do Americans just take credits and then try to earn so much to pay it back? (Especially because it is not only the tuition but also the high living standard in NYC) That was a long message but I would hope to get an answer back from you to get a little insight. Thanks a lot in advance, Carlotta :)
I like trevor
+sean mcdonald Hahaha I do too! He's such a cool guy!
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
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!
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
