Extension High School and Certificate Offerings

Extension expands high school and certificate programs

By Dan Vesey

Starting this spring, Juilliard Extension will offer two accredited certificate programs. Students can earn a Certificate in Core Musical Skills by completing 18 credits in ear training and music theory and analysis. And students fulfilling 20 credits in composition are eligible to receive a Certificate in Composition. Courses will be offered in person on the Juilliard campus and are also available online. “Juilliard Extension certificates represent growth, professionalism, and achievement,” says John-Morgan Bush, director of lifelong learning.

As we grow in many directions, Extension is expanding our course offerings for high school students interested in pursuing college credit in music theory and ear training. These courses are designed to prepare students for Advanced Placement music exams and college level study in music. Extension courses for high school students are taught at the college level and are offered online.

Additionally, be sure to check out our spring catalog—you can find it at juilliard.edu/extension—and enroll in spring semester courses! As always, we have our rich offerings in history and appreciation, professional development, and performance. And don’t forget that College and Preparatory division alums receive a 50 percent discount on tuition for all courses.
