New York Car Rentals and Julliard

Julliard is a world-renowned performing arts conservatory in dance, drama, and music. It is currently located at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts with your New York car rental.

A step back

Julliard was founded in 1905 as the Institute of Musical Art on the premise that the United States did not have a premier music school and too many students were going to Europe for this type of education. In 1910, it occupied the building that is currently the home of the Manhattan School of Music. The name changed in 1920, when Augustus Julliard bequeathed a substantial amount of money to the school for the advancement of music in the United States. The Julliard Graduate School merged with the Institute of Musical Arts in 1926 and was officially combined in 1937.

What you can study

There are seven programs of study at Julliard: Drama, Music, Dance, College, Evening, MAP, and Pre-college. The pre-college division teaches students in elementary and high school every Saturday from September to May. They study solfege and music theory in addition to their primary instrument. This began as a prep department within the Institute for Musical Art.
