    It's great to hear you have enjoyed Berklee. I was a prof there for 40 years! I loved it too! BTW, nice fiddle playing at the end.

    are you an international student? (you mentioned your mom calling you from Poland, it's actually where I'm from too) I'm wondering if I have to do the in-person audition if I can't afford to fly to the us just for an audition?

    My son finished a music degree in perfornance at Berklee, with a minor in theory. Went on to get a masters in theory after moving to Nashville. Now teaches college, private instruction, does session work which is mostly done by zoom or emailing pro tool files in Nashville now, takes summer side man gigs with artists and arranges for print publishers. My advice, Berklee is a prestigious degree and will open doors, but you must have a plan and be multi faceted. A performance degree will also include the learning of many other skill sets like theory, arranging, conducting, the use of Finale and Sibelius, Pro Tools, basic engineering etc. You can use them all to make money. Teaching has been a base income source reaching back to Mozart and Haydn. If you’re creative and hustle you can make a good living with a Berklee degree. You’ve gotta be willing to accept a lot of rejection and have a lot of patience. All it takes is one YES

    I will echo what Basia said- if you need a big loan to afford Berklee, don't do it. We live a couple miles from the Berklee Spain campus, but my son chose a local conservatory instead. It cost a very small fraction of Berklee, and they cover the same material. He already practices religiously, and as a consequence has performed with half a dozen orchestral groups, Big Band, pop/rock groups, chamber music, etc. Last year he secured a weekly piano gig at a local hotel here at the ripe age of 18. Last Fall he produced his first concert. Now he wants to learn the technical aspects of music production, but again, it won't be at Berklee. It may be your parents' (or the banks') money, but it's your future. Consider it wisely.

Keep on writing and singing even if you think it’s not going anyway. Life will not give chocolates everyday but you have to make them on your own. Merry Christmas to you and your family. God Blessed..

    Hi ! I will soon be auditioning for the first time for Berklee and I will present 2 pieces (1 of 3 min and 1 extract from a composition of mine of 2 min) and I wanted to know if the 5 min of the "prepared piece" had started when do you play? Or does it start as soon as he welcomes you? (so you would only have a few minutes left) thank you for your answer! E.L.

    Hello Basia, I just found your video and, as a 1977 Berklee graduate, found it very interesting to watch a younger and much more recent graduate's take on things. Let me start by saying I was a Music Ed major back in the days when Berklee consisted of only 2 buildings, 150 Mass Ave. and 1140 Boylston St.. Also, in the mid-1970s, I'm not sure what the total number of students were at Berklee but I can assure you it wasn't anywhere close to today's count. Also, male students GREATLY outnumbered female students in those days. What I'd like to say, however, is that I truly felt my 4 years at Berklee taught me a lot, not just about music, but about life in general. Over the years I've returned to Boston a few times and was most impressed with how the college has grown. I've also been happy to see that Berklee has really kept up with today's music technology and how the changes which have happened over the decades are now applied to creating and recording today's music at the college. I'm glad you pointed out that performance majors shouldn't expect Berklee to automatically turn them into famous, top money-earning stars, but it most certainly WILL give performers knowledge, experience, and the tools needed to greatly refine and improve their performance skills. As is often the case, especially in the life of a musician, you need to give MUCH of yourself during your early years in order to receive worthwhile things in return as time moves forward. Also important are networking with other musicians, being both RELIABLE and RESPONSIBLE when you're hired for a gig... in addition to being prepared AND humble. I've been fortunate enough to have met and played with a number of very talented performers during the half-century I was playing and what I often noticed was those who were the MOST skilled players/singers often turned out to be the nicest people... the type who would always talked about how good other musicians were, rather than boasting about their own musical talents. And, finally, both good timing and having a bit of luck occur most certainly come into play when it comes to the level of success a person can/will achieve in the world of musical performance. Anyway... I wish you great success in your musical endeavors. Thanks for allowing me to reminisce a bit about MY days at Berklee... those many years ago. -- Mark
