I have a friend whose 10 yo child is a gifted violinist, recently won a big competition in Italy. She would like to send her to a music school here in the States. Outside of Interlochen and Brevard, what other schools are here in the US?
Thanks --

Well have you checked Julliard's pre-college?
They accept ages 8-18 i believe.

Cleveland Institute of Music has a special program for young artists, but I believe that it only starts at High School ages (age 14).

If money is no object, I would second Juilliard's pre-college program. You would not have to look far to see some of the success stories coming out of Juilliard's "pre" program. Now if money is an issue, I would send a child to take lessons from either a local symphony musician (concertmaster or assistant concertmaster) or a reputable professor in the area.
Remember that proper guidence is extremely important, but a child's talent/work ethic is equally if not more important.
Good luck.

I wouldn't recommend julliard unless she has a relative or a very good friend, or a nanny/maid that lives in the NYC area. Julliard pre-college is not a boarding school. Neither is NEC prep school.
Consider the Walnut Hill School in Natick, MA. It's the ONLY program in the United States that links a major conservatory (new england conservatory) and an independent school.

Call the Juilliard Pre-College (212) 799-5000 x241 and ask them to send you a catalog. Auditions are held once a year, in May; the deadline to apply is very soon. Auditions are competetive. It is basically an all-day Saturday program, Friday night rehearsals before a concert, possibly some week-day events or lessons if you live close by. It is for serious students, many of whom pursue a performance career. The string players there are some of the finest, and the program may be the best of its kind. It is located at Lincoln Center between 65th and 66th Streets, between Broadway and Amsterdam in New York City. Students must also be enrolled in an academic course of study somewhere else during the week. Many of the students also attend summer festivals at Aspen and Tanglewood. There are students whose families relocate so they can attend this program. There are required theory and solfege classes and orchestra rehearsal, in addition to private lessons, and there is a chamber music program. The majority of students are from the greater metropolitan NYC area and New Jersey, Long Island and lower Connecticut but many students commute a fair distance each week from Pennsylvania, the New England states, or further.

Eastman does have a community education division but it isn't nearly on the scale of Julliard. There are also public performing arts schools in major cities- such as LaGuardia in NYC- but I think they're mostly high schools. And I've recieved some mail about the North Carolina School for the Arts but I don't know much about it.
