| The Columbia-Julliard program requires admission to Julliard and is very difficult to complete, according to an article in the Spectator last year and some past threads on here. At Columbia, there are practice rooms, and excellent pianos but (according to my S) they are often locked and the sign-up system does not necessarily work well. The music department does give private lessons, as Denzera says. My S doesn't play piano, but has a friend who has taken both piano and violin there though not a music major. My S, also not a music major, was on a waitlist his first year for lessons on his instrument, but still played in music department ensembles, and this year is also getting lessons which he really enjoys. |
