Any piano moms on? DD is 11, will be 12 next year. Her piano teacher recommended that she try for Juilliard pre college. What is the audition process like? Any theory/ear test components to the admissions process? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I did, but they told me all the information is on their website. I found info about repertoire, etc, but nothing about specifics. Just trying to see if I can garner any insight here, on the off chance there is someone who is familiar with the program. [ Reply | More ]

I'm surprised your teacher would recommend that and give no guidance. Seems a little strange, honestly. Most teachers who would suggest that would do that out of knowing the program there (versus, the other schools)... [ Reply | More ]

Normally, the teacher would have been preparing the student towards that for at least a year or two, and indicate when that student is ready. [ Reply | More ]

congratulations, mom. she must be a fantastic little musician. I know it's a lot of work to get kids to that point - I moved to a pre-college program in my home country at 10/11 after getting through suzuki etc., but my DD (10) is still on book 5 haha. my dad was more dedicated to it than I've been to my kids, sadly (he also worked a lot fewer hours than I do), but she's doing ok. Don't expect to get good guidance on this here - my experience is that there are very few musician parents here [ Reply | More ]

Thank you. We are in NYC but DC's teacher is in CA. We moved to NY 1.5 years ago and chose to stick with the teacher she's had for 4 years in CA. We have been doing lessons via Facetime. He is older and unconnected, so he does not know too much about Juilliard. DC has won a few competitions and seems to do well, but I don't know if she's pre college material. [ Reply | More ]
