Best of luck Tiffany.

good choice. my best friend ran into a similar problem. she did undergrad and then med school at Harvard (8 years total). when confronted with the opportunity to continue to specialize again, at Harvard, and continue her education, she made the big decision to leave. She felt she had simply spent too much time there and wanted change, plus east coast winters were getting worse, lol. she didn't care about the brand. it simply wasn't new or fresh -- it was all too familiar. you're gonna kill it no matter where you go!!!

I'm not American so don't know about this, but what is the most prestigious college, Princeton or Harvard? I know Oxford is in another country, but what about compared to Oxford as well compared to those ones? I'm going to guess Harvard, then Oxford, then Princeton. Is UCLA one or two levels down from these three? And what about Berkley, is that down on the level of UCLA?

You'll do great wherever you go

Your honesty and ethics are admirable. Thanks for sharing your life and of course your extreme talent with us.

It's actually really inspiring to watch you do what's right for you and not what others think you should be doing. That takes a lot of courage. Wherever you go I'm sure you'll do amazing and I'll be sticking around to watch it!

You've inspired me on playing piano and explore the world of classical music since i began to watch your videos. Sorry to hear about this news. I know you have your own decision and I will definitely follow you as your fan. May you all the best!

Thanks for sharing your stories... I just found you 1 week ago, but love your honesty and the way you share your process! Yes, I respect your decision and look forward to hear where you go! :)

Congratulations!!! I am very honored and excited to see you grow as a pianist. I can’t wait to see what happens next, because we all know that you are one of the greatest pianists of our time. Also where I live there are not many people who appreciate classical music the way I do and it gets very lonely, but when I come to your videos I realize that there are so many people out there who feel the same way and all I have to do is wait for my future as a pianist where I will be able to meet so many other musicians like you. I really hope we get to meet someday. Thank you Tiffany!😊

For years I have enjoyed watching you grow as a pianist and a young woman. I had no idea what sort of person you really were until I recently discovered your silly and delightful vlogs. I have had the good fortune and pleasure of knowing other people who are like you. Just by being yourself you spread joy, elicit smiles, and inspire people to be the best that they can be. I care more about whether you are wearing comfortable shoes than about the particular decision you make about where you go and what you do. I hope you continue to share your life's journey with your 50k subscribers. Looks like we are in for an adventure.

'philosophically' speaking, I think that only fools never change their mind no matter what. The entire universe changes, why should not people. I think it's actually the smart people who change their mind after they deliberately start to think: 'You know what, in light of newly found knowledge, I now changed my mind for this or that reason, and I want to move on.' And also, I must say, someone who doesn't waste their time gossiping deserves respect. In this day and age, this is probably the exception, not the rule. You are a serious person.

wishing you the best in your future, tiffany!! and congrats on graduating! i’m excited to see where you’ll go from here. i think we all know you hold so much potential in your talents and knowledge, you’ll carry yourself to more great opportunities yet to come! of course, change is not always a bad thing! :-) thank you for taking us with you on your journey!

Amazing! Girl just do whatever makes you happy and what you feel is right! I really hope the next step in your life makes you happier than u have ever been❤️

You have a bright future ahead of you! Anywhere you feel you cannot do the best that you can do is not the right place for you. I hope that you do find the perfect place. You will do great wherever you go! Good luck and congratulations on graduation. Much love!

Change is such an important factor in artistic expression and I'm glad you got the courage to do so! I'm super excited to see all the vlogs and content coming up in whatever wonderful school you'll go to :) (By the way I don't know if you know this but the video is set on unlisted so it won't show up on your channel just incase you didn't want it to be!)

First of all, congratulations on your upcoming graduation! Looking forward to some cap and gown photos! I’ve enjoyed all of your posts and vlogs. As I and many of your supporters have said before and on Patreon yesterday, we follow YOU and wherever life takes you. I’m excited about your future adventures and am looking forward to all the new things you will be doing! There are many pianists who play extremely well, but there has always been and will always be something extraordinarily unique about watching and listening to you perform music. All of your fans feel this and know exactly what I’m talking about. In life, you may sometimes run into people who have different (their own) opinions about what you should and shouldn’t do. At the end of the day as you unwind and sit quietly, you have to be at peace in your heart with whatever you choose and decide for your life. Actually, you’ve always said to surround yourself with those who support what you do. And, I did wish you luck in your application process to JM because you had applied but I am still going to wish you luck as you are embarking on a different journey. Wherever you go, whatever you decide will be the RIGHT decision FOR YOU. I support you! Your music is still your music no matter where you are. It’s a part of who you are! The right people will remain and become your greatest supporters. So, good luck and congratulations are in order! Looking forward to happy graduation pics and what you bring to the world!!!

Tiffany, you are great and I wish you the best for ever. I can imagine how exciting and, at the same time, hard for you all of these changes! I need to let you know that you inspire me a lot, as an Artist and as a Person, and I´ll keep watching everything you post, no matter what or where. You deserve the best and I hope you be happy whatever choices you take, giving time to yourself and keep developing through the same conscious way you do. Congratulations for all achievements so far, not "only" the graduation, but every new piece you get, every recital, every artistic and personal challenge! I´m a pianist, from Brazil. I really admire the way you do everything and the way you share with us. See you and have a nice work with the pages to be written!

Thank you Tiffany for all your videos and i think your decsions is right!

Tiffany, I admire you infinitely, I follow each one of your videos. I admire your control when playing and your transformation to begin to interpret some piece. Someday I hope to be like you, I hope to love what I do as much as you do. I hope you read the message 🙈💕

A real world reminder that sometimes we must say “no” to some decisions in life before we can say “yes” to others. It’s an admiral trait to find in someone who has a sense of “where they are” and “where they are going”.

Congratulations on your (upcoming) graduation! Your work ethic, pursuit of perfection in your music, and expressiveness in your playing have always been such an inspiration to me. Now I can add “courage to step outside comfort zone” to that list. You are an amazing person, and I’m sure you will continue to inspire and do amazing things wherever you go!

Congratulations! You have grown so much! Good luck and keep going with your videos.

Tiffany you have to make the decisions that are right for your life, no need to apologise for doing so. Wherever your road leads next, may God bless you abundantly. :)

You are very brave Tiffany!!! One of my inspirations ✨💖

Congrats on your graduation!!!!! Didn't know you lived in NYC for this long, wow! I wanna guess that you're going to Europe for some different experience... but wherever you're going for your next step, I believe that's the best choice for you and wish you all the best there! To share with you, me myself lived in the states for 7 years and decided to come to London for my master's degree last year. I was super excited when I made the decision, and now, one year after, I'm so glad that I made that decision. And for you, I believe you made the best decision for yourself, too!! Best of luck!!!

Dear Tiffany, I really admire your honesty and bravery. I have been following your channel for I don't exactly remember how many years. As a music major student and a music lover, you have been such a wonderful inspiration in many ways. I wish you all the best for starting the next chapter in you life! Please keep being who you truly are, because that's why I like you! ❤️

Yay... best wishes wherever the future takes you.

Wishing you a wonderful musical journey ahead! You've been a true inspiration to me (I know it might sound cliche but I am being honest). Looking forward to more videos:)

Wow! Such a decision takes real courage! I wish you all the best in he future!

I'm glad you have the strength to make tough decisions, i'm sure you know what you're doing (somehow this doesn't come as a surprise...) and that you're gonna make the most of your rare talent. More then ever i'm a follower

Hey, Tiffany. Congrats on the graduation! Honestly speaking, I think you will do great in any place. I myself also play the piano, but I started late. For me, it's quite interesting to know how a young pianist lives her life! So, I love watching you play the piano. I like how you talk in the Vlogs, and for sure I will keep following you. You just take it easy and make good videos :)

Good Luck TIffany! I wish you the best!

Don’t worry about this decision, we all are going to feel lost at some point of our lives, and if for you it was that moment, well, be sure that you did what your heart told you to do. I’m so happy to discover your channel some weeks ago, and I’m gonna keep supporting you. Love you from Mexico❤️

Tiffany, You got this, you can do whatever you want in the world. I think that you are an amazing Pianist, and you are a role model to me in a way. I am glad that you have made the decision to move on in life. As someone else had said (possible someone more so towards the top of the comment thread) all that matters is that you are happy at the end of the day. I am still going to follow (and watch) your channel, but I will be most interested in what you like, and enjoy to put out. I fully support your decision and look forward to seeing a less stressed you, while still bringing the light into my day (every Tuesday🤗). Have a fantastic week. 🤔👍🏻

Follow your heart and give your best. And yes, don't regret your decisions All the best for your future!

+Harris Turner Pretty morbid, pretty macabre. But pointing towards our earthly physical destiny. The question is, what is our individual spiritual destiny to be? (Romans 6:23) 'For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.'

I can totally relate. I attended a large Ivy league school for 2 years of my undergrad, and after careful rumination, I left for a variety of reasons to a smaller lesser known institution. People are always flabbergasted when I tell them this.I wish most people realize that most people go to these schools for the reputation. Honestly I've had some classes where we use the EXACT same textbooks as the Ivy league, essentially your paying for the reputation. Also, most professors who teach at the elitist institutions don't even have degrees from elite schools themselves. I wish you luck Ms.Poon, although I never did attend a music school at the collegiate level, I'm sure that studying at Juilliard for 12 years has greatly benefited you. The closest to Juilliard I've had is a couple of masterclasses and lessons with alum, not even close to your experience.

Tiffany, as a fellow Juilliard alumnus, I'm happy you're speaking the truth! You're an amazing artist, yes, I agree one needs to step outside their "box" and grow as a mature musician. I am actually relieved to hear this news! I am so excited for you, to create your own path of music making!

Whatever decisions you make, I'm always rooting for you Tiffany! :)

Moving on and making changes gives a person the opportunity to grow. There's a big world out there. Good luck to you!

That's growth and evolving for you. Everything in life is absolutely temporary. The duration by which you engage with everything in life is but a moment in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy it to it's fullest while you can, with the knowledge that this too will pass. The heartbreak of loosing those things near and dear to your heart is where the real growth and teaching happens. The struggle of life is why we are here. To engage it and grow or be disheartened by it. In a thousand years, humanity will have evolved to be more civilized by your small positive input. And then a giant asteroid hits the earth, total mass extinction happens, and we have to start all over again.

Congrats on getting in! Good luck with everything! I hope they gave you a good scholarship offer anyway! 😀 Wish you all the best! 😎😎😎🎹🎹🎹

First, congratulations on graduating from Columbia and Julliard at the same time. I feel you about leaving my own comfort zone, as I’m also facing a dilemma. I’m choosing between two universities for my bachelor. This video really helps me to decide that where I should go and where I really want to go.

Have a great journey, and have fun; that's all ;-)

Good luck wherever you go!

I am sure you will be successful where ever you decide to go. Keep up your vlog!

Love you for yourself Tiffany. Go an do what is best for you. Treat yourself and others as ends in themselves, as Kant would. Good luck at Columbia, and wherever. But keep the music comin'.

Tiffany, why you leave has no importance for myself, I follow you without judgement, only with my ears because I admire you and above all respect the person you are.

Be strong,be true and keep us informed😃always love u😄😄

I am so happy for you! I am really curious where will you be studying next!

Congrats on leaving! I’m honestly going through a similar situation of transferring colleges. It’s unbelievably terrifying to leave a system that’s nurtured you for years, but intense changes are sometimes necessary for significant reinvention. In the same way, “burn the bridges” at Julliard and devote yourself wholeheartedly to whatever you decide to do. I’m rooting for you! :)

All the very best, Tiffany!!

Congrats! Keep us posted :)

Hey Tiffany, nothing wrong with your decision at all. You're young and have world class talent - why not step out and see what the rest of the world has to offer? I tell my former students (I teach P1-P3 in Hong Kong btw) who come to visit me that if you're not sure what you really want, then go - get out into the world and experience different things. Who knows, the world is BIG, beautiful and full of experiences just waiting to be discovered, right?. Of course you must protect yourself cause there are plenty of nutty people in the world who will try to take advantage of you, but that should never stop you from stepping out of your comfort zone and learning from these experiences, both good and bad. In fact, that's how I found you! A year ago I was feeling kind of bored with my life (mid-life crises I guess) and eventually got the idea that I wanted to start playing the piano again...I had not touched the piano since I was 18 when I studied music in my home state of Louisiana, but eventually gave it up. But anyways, I was just randomly watching piano videos on here, letting KZread select my next video when suddenly a little girl from Hong Kong was playing Lizst, if I recall correctly. Wow, she's good! I was very impressed so I became your subscriber. So in a way, you and a few others that I've found here on KZread have inspired me to start playing again and I cannot even express how satisfying it is. My colleagues and even my wife think I'm a little crazy for 'wasting my time' relearning from scratch how to play the piano. But what joy and real pleasure it brings into my life. I'm in the music room at my school every spare moment I have. Thank you for such a good example to others and I commend you for your decision not to gossip about all of your reasons for leaving Julliard. You are exactly right that gossiping never helps anything. Good luck with whatever you choose to do and I hope you find joy in your endeavors! Oh, and congratulations on your graduation!

There are many options for such a talented student. Who wouldn't like to teach Tiffany? Tiffany needs to find the right teacher, which is a very personal thing - the School itself is probably not that important. If I had to guess I would say that Tiffany goes to Dang Thai Son who joins the Oberlin Conservatory Piano Faculty for the coming academic year. But there are lots of other possibilities. Anyways, we wish Tiffany that she finds the right teacher and that she will feel comfortable at the new place.

12 years, wow! You will be great wherever you go!

This is definitely a big and difficult decision for you! No matter where you go next, wish you the best and always remember to listen to your own heart!

Good luck Tiffany Poon and we will be following you wherever you go next !! Hope its RCM in London, UK. Its obviously a private and personal decision as to why you decided not to continue your studies at Juilliard and one that you do not wish to disclose on social media. Life will continue and hopefully you will find other ways to achieve your goals in life. Please keep playing the piano, you have so many fans all over the world who adore your wonderful piano playing. Take care and God Bless you Tiffany Poon.
