ABSTRACT

Juilliard is America’s most prestigious conservatory for classical music, boasting students like Itzhak Perlman, Emmanuel Ax, Van Cliburn, James Levine, Leontyne Price, Wynton Marsalis, Yo-Yo Ma, and Pinchas Zukerman. The study of a special environment like Juilliard allows us to explore the confluence of great, emerging musical talent, an instructional tradition honed over the ages, and a curriculum delivered by teachers at the pinnacle of expertise.
