I
never actually attended this school. I went to another school
down the street for two years... and somehow, all (seriously,
all) of my friends ended up being berklee students. This
is what I have to say: out of my closest
15 friends who went there: 4 - dropped out (one
after a year).
2- have a “song writing” dream
but no real talent.
3- are in majors like composition
and music therapy and have potential.
and 6 have graduated
(only 2 of these are actually in a band that's
gaining importance).
anyway, there's some food for thought. Most of
the people I know who go/went there had a fun
time but think it was pretty much a waste of
money.
I personally think you should go to school for
something you can make money doing while you simultaneously persue
a musical career. Because in the end the main thing
that got my two friends ahead was the connections of
one of their band members and his daddy's money.
The other ones with talent are now stuck working at
coffee shops and book stores for $8/hr.
then again, who
knows how things will go?
oh well, that's
life huh?
Whatever you choose: Good Luck!
