Students at Tianjin Juilliard will receive instruction from faculty who are distinguished soloists, orchestral musicians, and chamber players, composers, conductors, and scholars with extensive teaching experience. Mentorship, through private lessons and coaching from an international roster of faculty-in-residence, will form the core of students’ musical education. This experience will be enriched by frequent opportunities to work with visiting faculty from Juilliard in New York, whose involvement will range from weeklong master classes to longer-term projects and recurring residencies. The challenge embraced by our faculty is a complex one: to nurture and guide each aspiring musician toward the fullest expression of his or her talent, and to equip each student with the professional skills and experience needed to pursue a career in the arts.
