Preparatory Division

Pre-College offers a comprehensive conservatory-style music program for advanced students of elementary through high-school age who exhibit the talent, potential, and ambition to pursue serious music study at the college level. This program is held on Saturdays from September through May on the Juilliard campus, where Pre-College students work with world-class faculty to develop technical proficiency while fostering creativity and intellectual curiosity. Members of Pre-College faculty are distinguished artist-teachers, many of whom are on the Juilliard college faculty. Full- and partial-tuition scholarships are available for eligible admitted students.

MAP is a Saturday program for intermediate and advanced music students from New York City’s five boroughs and the tristate area who demonstrate a commitment to artistic excellence. The program actively seeks students from diverse backgrounds underrepresented in the classical music field. Through a rigorous curriculum, performance opportunities, and guidance from an accomplished faculty, MAP students gain the necessary skills to pursue advanced music studies while developing their talents as artists, leaders, and global citizens. Approximately 85 students are enrolled in MAP, which is led by Artistic Director Anthony McGill. All admitted MAP students receive full-tuition scholarships.

The Preparatory Division’s commissioning of new classical music compositions both enriches the classical music repertoire and forges a path toward a more inclusive and pedagogically valuable repertoire for young musicians. We have commissioned and premiered more than 50 new works in recent years, and the work will continue with approximately 10 new commissions annually moving forward.
