This is a big discussion question.
Feel free to make jokes as well.
Here are some of my shallow "predictions:" I'd be the most popular kid in school. I think that perhaps everyone care about the Juilliard requirements for high school courses (like all student athletes care about how "NCAA says they don't have to do X") and that the National Orchestra League would host the annual Super Bowl, appropriately, in the Hollywood Bowl. People would go to each other's houses to eat barbecue while watching the final rounds of the Cliburn. And, people would play Fantasy Quartet and overwhelmingly focus on the "stats" of musicians to determine their supposed "worth."

But maybe that's not the case. I guess in Warsaw, people are not as fat...
BTW, why Juillard? Curtis is the much better choice, unless you're one of those great people smart enough to actually improve in Juillard.
-
IIRC Curtis is focused less on classical and more on jazz and modern. Don't quote me on that, though.

But still, you're less likely to lose potential in Curtis than in Juillard.

Does Julliard kill your soul or something?

Haha but what do you know?? (well, you do live in NY so maybe that's how you know... just maybe)
But tbh NY is full of culture and stuff XD not like Curtis. Curtis is in... Philadelphia. And it's literally just 2 buildings.

L O L - dont forget the talk shows about it

Well they have less people.
And it's almost a full scholarship tuition.
Juillard, on the other hand, RARELY gives full merit scholarships. However, the people who do get full merit scholarships are probably smart enough to actually improve at Juillard.

Yes!! And with the vaguest questions too: "Is Lang Lang a has-been?" the only options being "Yes" and "No" ;D (This is my opinion on most speculative/gossiping talk shows about sports)

after a few years you'll probably be like: "wow I was so stupid"
Curtis is kind of creatively stifling though... Philadelphia is gross
New York, on the other hand, is where everything is, where you can hear all the great artists, surround yourself with awesome people, look at all the great art and read all the great books, and then look at nature... like Central Park and the giant river lake thingamabob (I'm obsessed with rivers- cause California doesn't have any except for their pathetic concrete trenches that have a single thin line of water that kinda just sits in the middle of the trench)
Anyway, I would want to go to New York; it's the most vibrant and lively place in the US. Philadelphia though.....
But we should go back on topic. If you want to debate about Juilliard vs. Curtis vs. other schools (there are more out there, you know, and they're all great), then you can make your own poll.

Yeah, Juillard has Steven Liin. He's one of the most lively players there are.
BTW, what happened to Juillard? It used to be the best (except for Moscow and St. Petersburg Conservatories), but now...........

But now what? Who are you referring too?
Tiffany Poon is there, Annie Zhou is there, Tony Yang is there (like him or not), Qi Kong is there, Sean Chen went there, my good friend is there HAHAHA... Juilliard has always been a symbol of prestige.

OK, there are too many amazinig exceptions, I should shut up ;D

Oh, and who is that good friend?

want me to PM you his name? he's at precollege.
But what if you're not actually the docile, 7th grade Asian piano student like you say you are? Then you'd figure out all my personal info, the precise area of California in which I live......... #internetsafetyprobs

I never heard her play, so......
And I asked you a question, WHO DOES QI KONG STUDY FROM. You didn't answer.
(Okay, now I'm behaving like a 6th grader....)

Bruh Eleanor Angel is just a pseudonym, but I am a 7th grade Asian piano student. I don't know what docile means though, and I want to keep up our posting every second.

Hmmm... Docile is a nice word.

I had a lot of work, but I finish it each time I get home ;D And it just happened that today there wasn't much homework ;D
Well, actually, homework isn't actually work. Because its easy. Except when I have to do negative fractions. Then it makes me exhausted, even though it is easy.
-
Does Julliard kill your soul or something?
Your face kills your soul.

Yeah 7th grade is easy as f---. Algebra I? Puh-leez.

your face killed your mom's soul. that's why your upbringin has been so lacking in affection

And even more people would be really lazy. They'd be spending their time listening to music all day instead of working out.
.
I disagree with that.
Most of the people I see when I go to the gym don't work out and become meatheads to play sports. They work out just to look good.
But anyways...
Everyone wouod be getting full rides if they went to music schools. And it would be WAY more competitive than it already is now.

ikr I'm so jealous of basketball players because of that.

You would probably see more ethnic diversity iin music in the US too :P
It's actually not a question of value, it's more a question of accessibility. Learning classical piano is a very middle class activity.

Really man

bump
let's keep this going guys!

We'd have fewer knuckle-draggers, and none of the GOP candidates would even stand a chance.

What I think is that actually the arts are more valued than sports in the world. Not only music is art, but all the TV series, movies, most books etc.
And even more people would be really lazy. They'd be spending their time listening to music all day instead of working out.
People spend a lot of time by watching TV.
