Overview

The Tianjin Juilliard School Pre-College opened in the fall of 2019 and offers a comprehensive conservatory-style music program, on Saturdays from September to May, for advanced Pre-College students ages 8-18 who exhibit the talent, potential, and ambition to pursue serious music study at the college level. Pre-College students are mentored by an international roster of faculty and given many opportunities to perform in solo, chamber, and orchestral concerts. Members of the Tianjin Juilliard Pre-College faculty are distinguished artist-teachers, many of whom are members of Tianjin Juilliard School’s graduate school faculty. The faculty serves as teachers, role models, and mentors guiding students as they develop technical proficiency while fostering creativity and intellectual curiosity. Recognizing the importance of early development and discipline in the music field, the school will offer an atmosphere where artistic gifts and technical skills can flourish. Here at Tianjin Juilliard School, you will:

  • Refine your technical playing and develop a unique musical voice through lessons and classes with a world-class faculty.
  • Be part of an internationally-minded community to help prepare you for future studies at conservatories, colleges, and universities around the world.
  • Receive your training at the only American-style pre-college music program taught bilingually in English and Chinese, anywhere in China.

  • Study at the weekday academic school of your choice while pursuing rigorous music studies on Saturdays at The Tianjin Juilliard School.
  • Receive a certificate upon graduation from the Pre-College to acknowledge your participation and artistic progress.

Attending Tianjin Juilliard Pre-College

Tianjin Juilliard Pre-College is a non-degree granting program and is intended as a supplement to our students’ full-time, Monday-Friday academic education. Many Pre-College students commute each weekend, from near or far, while staying enrolled in their current weekday school.

Tianjin Juilliard Pre-College accepts Chinese nationals as well as international students. The Pre-College does not grant visas to international students or provide study registration to domestic students since the program is non-degree granting. Those who are planning on relocating in order to attend the Pre-College should arrange their own weekday full-time study and visa if necessary.

Located in the district of Binhai, Tianjin, the 450,000 square-foot Tianjin Juilliard campus is designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the firm that oversaw the 2009 expansion of Juilliard’s Lincoln Center campus as well as major cultural venues around the globe. The central lobby of the new school is an extension of the surrounding public park and is accessible year-round as a gathering place for students, faculty, and visitors. The cutting-edge architectural design includes the building’s performance halls, teaching studios, practice rooms, and acoustical details that are the first of their kind in China. The campus is a five-minute walk from the Binhai high-speed rail station. By train, downtown Tianjin is a 25-minute ride from the school, with Beijing just one hour away.
