茱莉亚音乐学院(The Juilliard School) ，是由1905年Dr. Frank Damrosch创建的音乐艺术学院 (Institute of Musical Art)，以及1924年Augustus D. Juilliard的遗产托管基金成立的茱莉亚研究生院(Juilliard Graduate School) 合并而成。作为世界上最为著名的专业音乐院校之一，它为8至18岁有艺术才能的青少年提供系统专业的音乐教育与指导。

音乐系是茱莉亚音乐学院规模最大、最多学科分类的院系，包含各种不同的课程需求及类型。茱莉亚音乐学院对于不同专业的学生，有清晰的专业教学目标与定位：将声音与乐谱结合以产生个性的表演能力是声乐学生应该掌握的；管弦乐的学生应深谙乐谱中所表现的音乐的本质；铜管及号角的学生要学会让乐器发演奏的音乐与呼吸合而为一；作曲的学生首先要学会要捕捉来自心灵的声音，让音乐充满生命力。茱莉亚音乐学院正在建造一个不同寻常的未来，她从容跨入继续为培育充满理想的舞蹈家、演艺家和音乐家们提供杰出教育的第二个世纪。她的校园继续扩大，包括将于2009年完工的三万九千平方英尺的新校舍。茱莉亚音乐学院继续教育成千上万的艺术家并赋予他们强烈的社会和艺术责任感。

1983年，约瑟夫·波利希(Joseph W. Polisi)就任茱莉亚音乐学院的第六任主席。他就任期间是学院充满活力的年代，成立了新生服务和校友项目，更新了课程，并强调人类学科和文科教学；加强学院舞蹈、表演和音乐系之间的联络；增强与社区的联络；强化艺术教育；创立了教授孩童的光盘教学；发展了一个长期综合全面的计划来引导学院进入21世纪。

从2001年起，茱莉亚开拓新领域增加了本科和研究院的爵士学习项目，包括专业预科的茱莉亚爵士研究院，这是和林肯中心爵士乐合作的项目。茱莉亚创意提出的三亿美元的“第二世纪基金”加强和提高了教师和学生的资金力量。使重要的艺术和学术项目得以开拓，这一倡议正好和茱莉亚新修复的大楼一并完工。届时，拥有先进技术设备的演播室、剧场、排练厅，音乐技术和写作/交流中心，还有为无价之宝茱莉亚手稿收藏建造的安全保存室都会投入使用。

除了大学项目，茱莉亚音乐学院还提供研究生院和大学预科、成人教育、纽约地区学生的社区外联和为少数族裔设立的特殊音乐项目。

But the Institute is only half the story of what is now The Juilliard School; Augustus D. Juilliard and the Juilliard Graduate School are the other half. When Mr. Juilliard, a wealthy textile merchant, died in 1919, his will contained the largest single bequest for the advancement of music at that time. In 1924, the trustees of that bequest founded the Juilliard Graduate School to help worthy music students complete their education. In 1926, the Graduate School and the Institute of Musical Art merged as the Juilliard School of Music under one president, the distinguished Columbia University professor John Erskine, but with separate deans and identities. Damrosch continued as the Institute's dean, and Ernest Hutcheson was appointed dean of the Graduate School. In 1937, Hutcheson succeeded Erskine as president of the combined institutions. (Juilliard's Evening Division — originally the Extension Division — was begun in 1933, offering continuing education for adults.)

Dr. Peter Mennin, another well-known composer, was Schuman's successor. In 1968 Mennin created a Drama Division — with John Houseman as its first director and Michel Saint-Denis as consultant — and oversaw the move of Juilliard to Lincoln Center in 1969. The School changed its name to The Juilliard School to reflect its broader artistic scope. With the move also came the creation of the current Pre-College Division, offering intensive musical instruction to talented youngsters from 8 to 18. (Music lessons for young students had been provided through Juilliard's Preparatory Division since 1916.)

After Mennin's death in 1983, Dr. Joseph W. Polisi (photo, below) became the School's sixth and current president, beginning with the 1984-85 academic year. Dr. Polisi's term at Juilliard has been a time of vitality for the School, with the establishment of new student services, alumni programs, a revised curriculum, a new emphasis on the humanities and liberal arts, and the realization of two major goals: the completion of its first residence hall - the Meredith Willson Residence Hall - which opened in 1990, and the establishment of a jazz program - the Institute for Jazz Studies (a collaboration of The Juilliard School and Jazz at Lincoln Center) - which began in September 2001. This period of growth also has seen enhanced student and faculty financial support; the creation of an exchange program with Columbia University and Barnard College; a new emphasis on community outreach; creation of aCD-ROMto teach music to children; and a schoolwide initiative to develop interdisciplinary programs involving actors, dancers, and musicians.

During Dr. Polisi's tenure, the Juilliard Orchestra has performed in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, France, and Bermuda, and participated, in 1992, as the Evian Festival's resident ensemble. In addition, Dr. Polisi has led the process of developing a comprehensive long-range plan for the School that has resulted in a 0 million capital campaign dedicated to enhancing student financial aid and faculty compensation, as well as the development of schoolwide programs that will prepare Juilliard students for the demands of the 21st century.
