Mikey D Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Has anybody on here studied there or known anyone who studied there? What's it like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) My old drummer went there on a part scholarship. He graduated in 3 years. He managed to get through it and he learnt a lot there but he found it a bit soul-destroying - and it almost took all of the enjoyment out of music for him. EDIT: I should add that he was my drummer [i]before[/i] he went to Berklee. He was pretty damn good even then.

cetera Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Reminds me of a joke I heard.... Guitarist returns from 'Berklee' (insert your choice of music school) scholarship and joins a local band. He's shown a couple of melodies for one of the songs and immediately announces "That can't be right....! That note there isn't within the chord and note structure of the key we're playing in!" The bassist replies "Yeah, but it [i]sounds[/i] good.... and that's what matters..." Guitarist: "But it breaks the rules...!" Bassist: "In that case, it's a jazz tune" Guitarist: "Jazz?!? Oh, OK, why didn't you say that in the first place...!" Edited August 22, 2007 by cetera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaphappygarry Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Got a mate who did the first year thing. He is stunningly amazing. Ant Law. Watch out for the name. Ba*tard. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 If he is the one I have just seen on myspace, he is indeed a very nice player. Well I have sent a few questions off to Berklee themselves and a few other people, so will just wait and see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Funk Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I think the nearest audition/interview is in Ireland - or at least it was when my friend went there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
