Which is the best Music School for the piano?

Answer 1

DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYONE HERE!!! THERE ANSWERS ARE WRONG!!

There is no such thing as the best music school for piano. It's all about the right piano teacher. Yes, Juilliard has some great teachers, so does Manhattan School of Music, Mannes Conservatory, Peabody, Yale, USC, Indiana, U of Michigan, New England Conservatory, and Boston University. I can name at least 3 good teachers from each school.

What you need to do, is research the teachers. Ask other piano students in these schools who their teacher is and why they study with them. You do not choose a school based on a question like yours. These schools are all investments, and if you intend to spend 4 years there, you need to find the teacher that matches your needs the best. Everyone of the teachers at these schools are great! They are all world class, but you may not get a long with them, or like their teaching style. So ask questions.

At Juilliard, Julian Martin is a great teacher, I have friends who study with him, but I don't know how I would work with him. So take a few lessons with him to see how things go. You could goto Manhattan School and study with Solomon Mikowsky, or Donn-Alexandre Feder, or Daniel Epstein, but again take a few lessons with them. At U of M, there's Logan Skelton, and Anton Nel. But it all comes down to how you get a long with the instructor.

There is NO best Music School for piano. It comes down to the BEST PIANO TEACHER FOR YOU.

Answer 2

I beliebe where the best piano teachers can be found currently is the Moscow Conservatory in Russia.

I know two piano teachers at Julliard and Manhattan School of Music who are beliebed to be the best and I personally think they sucked.

I agree with someone abobe who said that it is the teacher that matters, not the institution. I can tell you that I lived one year in New York and I found no body worthy to teach piano. No one was any better than a good argentinean piano teacher (which is where I am from)

Answer 3

Check who the instructors are at both Juliard and Berkely in Boston, plus there is also GIT (Guitar Instutue, which has a keyboard section) in Los Angeles and Dick Grove in the San Fernando Valley.

See who teaches the courses and decide who might be best for you!

There is also USC in Los Angeles.

Many "general" schools have some great departments like NYU or Northwestern in Illinois.

Beyond all this, you also want to check out the PRACTISE ROOMS. How many are there, what kind of pianos do they have, how intense is the sign up!

Sometimes the second best teacher works out best, becasue the school has better practise rooms, unless you own our own piano and bring it with you!

Answer 4

Juilliard is great, but not everybody can get in. The Conservatorium of Music at the University of Sydney, New South Wales, is considered excellent also. That's where I'm planning to go, but also, the New England Conservatory in Boston, The Royal Academy of Music in London, or the Royal Conservator of Music in Toronto are all very excellent and respected schools.

Answer 5

Juilliard, if you can get in. Yale and the Manhattan School of Music also have outstanding music things, though I'm not sure if they have piano. Good luck!

Answer 6

The Curtis Institute of Music is considered to be the most prestigious music conservatory in the world. It is the only music conservatory of it's kind that provides full tuition scholarships to ALL of its students. If anyone gets accepted to both Curtis and Juilliard, they always pick Curtis. With free tuition, the competition to get in is supremely difficult.

Answer 7

Choose the school for the teacher, not the school's name recognition. In addition to Juilliard, there's Eastman, Oberlin, Indiana University, Northwestern, and many others to consider.

Answer 8

Meadows...Southern Methodist University at Dallas.
