Hello All,
I’m new to these threads and trying to comb through lots of discussions to help with the same dilemma many of you are: My S is a commercial music/guitar player. He has been accepted to Belmont School of Music–commercial music/guitar and CCM commercial music program. He is still awaiting notification from Berklee (he auditioned in mid-February). We expect to hear merit decisions from all by April 1st (Belmont will be earlier).

He did the 5-week program at Berklee 2 years ago (loved it) and he has musician friends who are at Belmont (they also love it). BUT he has little insider info on the CCM commercial music production.

Does anyone know anything about the CCM program from experience or reputation? As you can probably tell from my screen name–this music world is completely new/foreign to me. My S’s passion is music and he wants a life in the music industry.

Hi! Good luck to your son and his decision making. My son is in his 4th semester and is also a guitarist. If you need any info or have questions, please reach out. I do not know anything about CCM but do have knowledge about Belmont and Berklee. If it were me, I’d wait and get info from people once you hear from Berklee if that is his first choice. Good luck!
