Brass at Juilliard Pre-College Video
This video gives a quick overview of the brass program at Juilliard Pre-College.
If you’re interested in attending, there is an opening for 1 tuba in the Juilliard Pre-College Program for the 2012-13 school year. There are also a few openings for trombone and bass trombone. Feel free to contact me if you’d like any additional info.
This is a Saturday program in New York City, at Juilliard. It is a great opportunity to play and learn alongside a fantastic group of student musicians.
In addition to lessons and music classes like theory and ear-training, tuba students perform in one of the two orchestras, in brass quintets, and “Brass Classes” (each focusing on a different topic, and hosted by members of our brass faculty.) The orchestras sound awesome, and are always playing great repertoire. Our students do a lot of playing, work hard, and have a lot of fun every week.
