于是，我继续留在小乐队里演奏，并报考朱丽亚音乐学院的音乐课程。朱丽亚音乐学院是纽约市最大的私人音乐学校，我在那里学习了单簧管、钢琴和作曲。

So I kept playing in small bands and signed up for classes at Juilliard, the city's great private conservatory of music, where I studied clarinet, piano, and composition.

Lloyd Rodgers是我的私人教师，他鼓励我手抄整本的平均律钢琴曲集。同时我第一次听了一些所谓的“新音乐”，比19世纪更近的一些古典音乐。

In the meantime, I heard my first examples of what is called "New music," that is, classical music written more recently than the 19th century.

感谢我的私人老师，钢琴已经练到了第三首曲子，虽然前两首还不是非常流利。

Thanks to my private piano teacher, I have started practicing the third piece of music, even though I have not been really good at the first two pieces yet.
