<p>What specifically do you wish to know? Have you applied, auditioned and been accepted? Are you in the process of making a decision across other schools for fall 2010 matriculation?</p>
<p>Or are you looking for places to consider applying to for next year?</p>
<p>There are about 2 dozen Berklee titled threads, a number of parents/students with acceptances, audition experience for this current as well as past admission cycles, plus a tremendous amount of music admissions knowledge across a range of genres and disciplines.</p>
<p>Hi! Just visited Berklee last month while in Boston with my daughter - only a soph. - also visited NEC. Background - husband and I both prof. musicians - oldest daughter - violnist Indiana '06 - now prof. freelancer in LA. Son is junior at The New School for jazz - bass. Son did the World Scholarship Tour and got full ride to Berklee - Did the 5 week free camp summer after junior yr. - He thought Berklee had WAY too many hacker guitar players. He also wanted to be in NYC instead of spending 4 yrs. in Boston then moving. Best to get connections in college - makes it way easier. Also - at Berklee you will prob end up studying with one teacher - maybe two for the 4 yrs. At New School, you tell them who in NYC you want to study with and they will set it up for you, kind of as an adjunct faculty member. He LOVES the school and is playing constantly. NYC is a hard place to live, but you will learn everything about life and more than you wanted to!!
As for 15 y.o. daughter - she really liked Berklee. She is thinking about music therapy in addition to playing violin freelance. Berklee is in a wonderful part of town. The music therapy dept. just got their own bldg! We spoke to the head there and she was really inspiring. Lots of time to decide on her. Just trying to get her in a summer music camp now! Let me know if you have other specific questions…</p>
