Berklee College of Music is the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world and was established by Lawrence Berk at 284 Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay. When it opened its doors, Berklee was primarily focused on teaching classical music, despite also offering jazz and commercial music classes to its students, who mostly already were working professional musicians. When it opened it only had 50 students due to World War II service. Nevertheless, by 1949 more than 500 students were enrolled in the institution. In 1954 the school expanded in academic terms, and it included music education and more traditional music theory classes.
The school has had several musicians serving as teachers throughout the years, and it still is a practice that is done today. In 1970 the school was renamed Berklee College of Music and several curriculum innovations were implemented such as new classes and new instrumental major programmes.Show more
My course on Music Theory was a real joy. The professor explored the subject from many different angles, making the material engaging and accessible. The focus was on developing a deep understanding of its practical applications and how to use theoretical concepts in real-world situations. The ability to complete many parts of the course online was extremely helpful.
View moreI love studying at the Berklee School of Music. The University itself has so many resources for internships and for students. What I like the most is the ability to use those resources outside of class and I dont have any dislikes, but what they can improve on is the application process.
