Schools like Juilliard and Eastman provide great oppurtunities for students who wish too pursue a musical or artistic career. However, being accepted to this school does not come easily at all. Both schools have a strong set of requirements in order for every instrument or artistic class you plan on studying at the school. These requirements really do separate the average from those worthy of attending. It might seem strict but if you study and practice at a high level all requirements can become fairly easy.

__**Juilliard Music Advancement Requirements:**__
To attend Juilliard school of dance,drama, and music under the Music Advancement Program you have to be through the ages of 8-14 years old and reside in either New York, New Jersey, or Conneticut. If you pass all these pre-requirements then you must send in a normal application and the financial documents that go along with it. Out of the people who send in applications some get accepted and called in for an interview and an audition in front of program administrators. However you cannot just be a normal student who plays an instrument. You have to show an extreme amount of motivation, studied at an intermediate or advanced level, have potential, and support from your parents.
