What People Are Saying
“Julianna was an invaluable mentor throughout my entire graduate school audition process.”
“Julianna helped me in choosing a comprehensive, competitive, yet complementary repertoire, planning the timeline for my recital and pre-screening recordings, and preparing to perform well at auditions.
She guided me on how to advocate for myself and communicate professionally when I was waitlisted at my first-choice program, which I ultimately got into.
Knowing that Julianna believed in me boosted my confidence, and I wouldn't have been accepted into my top-choice graduate school without her encouragement, direction, and support!”
~Caitlin Oliver, Juli Nickel Student
“She wasn’t just my flute instructor; she became a mentor in my life.”
“When I was applying for graduate school, she provided invaluable advice on school selection and application processes. Sometimes, I was unfamiliar with application procedures and the audition requirements of different schools. However, Professor Julianna Nickel always offered tremendously helpful guidance.
With her assistance, I eventually secured admission to UCLA on a full scholarship. I’m deeply grateful to my beloved Professor Julianna Nickel; it’s her guidance that has brought me to where I am today in my musical journey.”
~Yundian “Elle” Cao, Juli Nickel Student
