Curtis or Julliard?

[jhon]

Are there any significant differences in their piano curriculum? Which do you prefer and why?

 Well, Julliard has the fame of being one of the best music schools, but Curtis is were the great Josef Hofmann and others taught and left their knowledge and tradition, and its current president/director is Gary Graffman... I don't know much about their curriculum and differences, but I would say that most of the well known American (and a few others from other countries) pianists come from Julliard, such as Charles Rosen. These are their sites:

I hope this was helpful in anyway.

  Curtis was a stint in an exclusive country club.  Juilliard was a prison term.
