Juilliard Research Paper

Decent Essays
Juilliard is a highly prestigious school for music of all kinds. After researching this school, I have learned that academic scores are not important and that people of all ages can attend this school. The main importance for attending
Juilliard is the audition where one will perform and be selected based on their talent. The school seems fantastic to me due to its extremely low acceptance rate which would offer closeness within the students attending the school. I prefer to go to schools with a smaller number of people because it offers more availability for instructers to get to know and help their students. My least favorite aspect of the school is the cost of tuition which is extremely high. I would like to attend Juilliard as

    The troubadour was a minstrel of the court, but rather than wandering from town to town as most minstrels do, they would be employed to stay and entertain the court and its guests. Troubadours were held at a higher social than minstrels and jongleurs, who often were considered to live on the fringe of society. Troubadours were welcomed in the many courts of England, Spain, Italy, France, and Germany. Troubadours made amazing contributions to intellectual life with their new arts, blending courtly love, eroticism, war, nature, political satire, and philosophy.
