The Juilliard School — Local services in New York

Lo and behold ! Though I may not be the 144 month - year - old - wunder - kind that it seems the vast majority of these notable reviews are, I come with a non - prospective critique that promises to ensnare the interest of the hoi polloi. The reveries one shallth endure as a proper Juilliard attendee understands to comprehend without apprehend(ing). So speaketh the Spaniard, the origin it bequeathed be “El Porton”, or perhaps the mere rumor. Yet the idea spawned as the train of thought sped by, I barely grasping its rigid, intangible surface, where it tooketh me away from the tantalizing dream where practice rooms were properly aerated and properly prodigious. I had thought that I thought about my thoughts when the thought seemed so lonesome, yet soon to be realized twas’ thought by all. Without a doubt, the academic courses are (debatably) essential, i.e. ear training, music theory, music history, liberal arts, etc., but the art of Juillard is in the arts. All recognize the ravenous mouths these “classrooms classes”, their insatiable and unflinching consumption of their favored delicacy. The scientific term, I believe, is “time 2 practice”. Practicing is the equivalent of the studying for the plebians that can’t formulate the analogy, and without practice (rehearsals notwithstanding) our true building blocks of our performance careers becometh eroded. I’ll reiterate once more, tis’ a plea that rises from the voices of (approximately) all us attendees. Au contraire, these classes often find themselves as if alone, fighting to their wit for survival though in reality they all should coexist together. But they do not yet comprehend such so instead what occurs is the massive shortage of their prey, which turns to be infinitesimally detrimental to the biosphere and so it degrades quickly; I must admit though none of the prey have yet to yield. The burden is too much ! Ye who all be unfaithful, not all are of the gifted to be the “jack - o’ - all - trades” and certainly many focus our keen minds on performance. I nor we chose to slave away at keyboarding or writing seminar (in a manner we did choose, but certainly the decisions were not all truly viable as much as it forces one into the state of exception, Agamben anyone?) the life that we chose presupposes the arts. To inculcate the necessary indoctrination, time must be devoted to such and (nigh) only such. Does it look as if my sweet, fragile, bitter desires aspire to compose a welcoming “ballad” about other works? Suffuse the wisdom that doubtless undoubtedly did not doth unto thy mind. Take it for as you see worth, the bit o’ lint that clings to thy cuffs, or the glimmer o’ ole pristine gold (I suggest the latter). Admittedly the only turn that preexisted hither turned to be but a critique not a glamorous review, but in a way one is culpable of not claiming the former as a subset of the latter. Apologies such a brief, perpetual, ephemeral, enduring, piece I had composed here dared deviated away from the standards set previously, i.e. the simple dual categories of, “I may only be 12 . . .” and “[insert favored profanity] these 12 year olds”. But here is one, yours truly and well deserved, that cometh from a credible source of one who’d actually attended. An Afterword: Godbless Oquin [Our utmost gratitude to my interviewee Daniel Chan, Double...

I’ve been to Juilliard School couple times bringing one of my friends that has Parkinson. I always feel super honored not only about being inside of this prestigious place that is known as world leader in performing arts education, but also about watching my friend with Parkinson trying to dance with her group.

I want to Congratulate This school about hosting “dancing for Parkinson”. This workshop just challenges, elevates people self esteem, and confidence in an amazing way. Teachers are way creative. Once a teacher trying to guide them into dancing said: Can you dance like leaves?

My mind blowed away. Just this question made people think and use their brain to imagine. Honestly the result couldn’t be better and the group were all trying to dance as leaves. Including myself that was supposed just to be a spectador 💕

Well done I would say not only for the dance, but for the smiles. Specially because people with Parkinson tend to be depressed due the lack of dopamine result of this disease. Think, smile, Laugh and dance. More than well done.

Seniors with special needs would for sure benefit of having exercises and activities that develop and maintain community. And it should be free for low income.

Companies should have the same attitude as this school and open space not only for exercises, but understanding about special needs even though some of it are temporary. That would be beautiful if we reach a point level Of empathy where people could be reallocated, or might activities customized in a way they are able to do.

Just a pinch of humanity to make spaces more aware and businesses more inclusive. It would be one way to honor who came before us and contributed already to the society we are...

I attended the Pre-College program at Juilliard way back in 1985. It was an emotional experience to bring my kids back to see and hear the sights and sounds of this iconic location. At present, I can barely recognize the place as much renovation is being done. Also, so beautiful at the time of my visit to see the music hall draped in the Ukrainian Flag! It brought me to tears - now being an aged man. I remember sitting next to Midori in one of the youth performances. My lessons with Eugene Becker and Mrs. Delay. Juilliard is a world renowned school of music. Back in my day, and being a person of color, it was somewhat bitter sweet. However, the school has worked endlessly to support and promote the arts to a diverse crowd. This truly shows as I now see so many young and talented children of color representing our famous institution. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime. I always knew such talent existed, but to see my own school recognize and promote is another story. Juilliard is an institution that you must visit at least once in your life. The talent held in this location is world class artists that do what I consider is "God's Work" - that is, the promotion of...
