I attended Juilliard for one year and all I can say about this book is that every word is true. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it as a primer for any young person contemplating auditioning for Juilliard. It is not a place for the faint hearted.

This is NOT the best written book I've read. The style is actually a bit trite and tired. However, the information in this book is very informative and interesting. I think this book is essential reading for anyone interested in going to Juilliard, either for a degree or as part of their pre-college division. It's also a great read for people just interested in learning the "behind the scenes" of the school.

This description of life at one of the world's most famous music schools is remarkably accurate. The author explores the good and the bad, the wonderfully exciting and the surprisingly mundane, from entrance auditions to graduation juries. A great choice for those who really wish to know what Juilliard is like.
