The Juilliard Approach Toward Classroom Instruction

Success for all


Regardless of students’ career aspirations in the arts, Juilliard materials are designed with the fundamental belief that all children have artistic capacities that can—and should be—developed beyond what they ever thought possible.

Inquiry and reflection


Fostering curiosity leads to student motivation, an impetus for hard work and achievement. Looking back on one’s experiences crystalizes learning and develops valuable metacognitive skills.

Active and exploratory learning


Students, especially in the performing arts, learn best through exploration and hands-on application of artistic skills and concepts.



Igniting creativity


It is vitally important to engage students in meaningful artistic experiences—ideally, their own experiences. Ownership of their learning helps students find their own artistic voice. Inviting students to think and work imaginatively can have lasting effects in all academic subjects.
