Juilliard Vocal Arts Overview

Artistic director Brian Zeger, faculty members Edith Wiens and Mary Birnbaum, and current and former students share their insights about the vocal arts program at Juilliard. Learn more about the faculty and curriculum, the Juilliard community, and the many performance opportunities for singers, which range from fully staged and concert opera productions, opera scenes programs, performances at Alice Tully Hall, recitals like Liederabends and the Juilliard Songbook, and master classes with world-renowned singers and conductors like Joyce DiDonato, Fabio Luisi, Gerald Finley, and Emmanuel Villaume.

The Marcus Institute's comprehensive curriculum is tailored to the needs of the 21st-century singer, who must not only sing but act, dance, analyze text, take on roles with significant physical demands, and interact with colleagues, designers, directors, and conductors from around the world.

At the heart of the Vocal Arts experience is the unparalleled access to the Marcus Institute’s world-class coaching faculty. From Italian to Russian diction, from the styles of Monteverdi to contemporary opera, from acting to movement, the Marcus Institute’s coaching faculty comprises a spectrum of specialists who are equipped to address almost any academic or artistic pursuit. All students from the undergraduate through Artist Diploma levels can request to work one on one with almost any member of the coaching faculty in order to help achieve their individual artistic, professional, and academic goals. Faculty members will encourage you to progress at your own pace through weekly coaching sessions, specialized residencies with industry leaders, and numerous opportunities to perform on the opera and concert stage at the school, Lincoln Center, and New York City—the performing arts capital of the nation.

This is practically my dream school, but I’m afraid I won’t get even close to it with me being an international student, and with so many financial difficulties....

[CaelanDeJager]

As much as I'd love to apply, as an international student it's just way to expensive to pay for not only the degree but accommodation in one of the most expensive cities in the world:(

[aripinkberry]

Oh my gosh I could only dream of going to a school like this one. I’m so close to it, but I don’t know if I would get accepted. I’m totally blind but have loved and still love music to this day. I’m currently attending Cab Calloway school of the arts, but I don’t know what it will be for me in the future.

Does vocal arts mainly focus on opera style ?

[eitkoml]

I would like to hear some of the students singing.

[joyfulbananamilk]

As a prospective student, this has been my dream school since I was 10! These programs may be rigorous, but for the passionate and willing I can see how enjoyable this program is. As someone who applied to vocal arts, is it possible to get a lead role in a stage production as an undergraduate?

[sandraristia]

Do you only learn opera in vocal arts ?
Do you also learn other kinds of songs like pop ?

[williamcandy]

I want to become a part of this world💜

[madelinerh]

How much money for 4 years of the dance program without a scholarship? I would love to go but I don’t know if we could afford it 😅
