Another Berklee graduate here.

Back in the day it a jazz school. My degree is Jazz Comp & Arranging.

Now Berklee has a very strong recording studio & music 'engineering' (studio operations) program.

Be forewarned - it can be a cutthroat place. There were approx 3500-4000 kids in school when I was there in the early 80's. 1500 were guitar players, 1000 were piano players, 800-900 drummers. The rest were filled out with players & bass players. Less than 100 singers, probably.

In my experience Berklee will take anybody's money and let you in the door. Of those 1500 guitar players it was rumored that only 10 kids could read music. Most of those guitar players dropped out after 2 years & moved to NY to chase the rock star dream.

You can get a great music education at Berklee; play and learn from some of the best in the nation if you set goals and plan a challenging path in your class curriculum.
