    I think the reasons many people drop out of berklee is the opportunities that come by, you said it yourself, you dont NEED a degree to get in the music industry.
    I went to one of berklee's summer programs and my teacher there dropped out of berklee after about 3 and a half years, since he had the opportunity to tour and another semester cost a lot of money.
    I'm pretty sure John Mayer dropped out too, for a similar reason.

    I'm fourteen so i know i shouldn't be too worked up about college, but my mom recently told me that my dad would eventually ask me what i wanted to do in life and what college i would love to go to. my mom told me to do my research and my dad would understand. I've been looking at berklee's courses and classes, even events that they have. I know many might say that I am too young to know what college I want to go to, but I Truly believe that if I want to pursue music, Berklee is the best school. The only thought that has worried me the most was what you talked about in your video. Music is a very fragile subject, it's more free and you can't just find the job that easily, it's kind of like a very thin rope. I'm afraid that even if I do get in, I wont find anything out there that will help me do what I want to, and the last thing I want is an"I warned you about this happening" speech. the one thing I know for sure is that I want to be able to help people the same way music helped me, using music. But not necessarily music therapy. I really liked this video, thank you for making it.

      I'm the same age and I've been thinking about this since I was 12 so I understand. I would love to go to Berklees for Vocal and also an instrument (most likely piano or guitar). I'm actually working up on going for their Five week summer programmed when I'm 16 instead of getting a Sweet 16 party. I would really love to get to know you as you seem to be really interested in it and it would be great to be able to peruse such a dream and know someone cause two heads are better than one 👍🏾👍🏾

    • @michelle-yt2uo
      @michelle-yt2uo 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +sarah nottingham that would be amazing! I want to go to their five week program as well, but I live a bit far from Boston, and I'm not sure my parents would allow me to. I want to go mostly for vocals, but possibly more in songwriting/composing, and maybe guitar. I've been thinking about this mostly this year, but ive been constantly wondering and searching how to get in, and the different courses offered. I would love to get to know you as well. not a lot of people in my area talk about colleges or share the same interests.

      @MusicisWin  7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      The main takeaway is that if you're serious about music and work hard, you will find a career in music in one way or another! I'd recommend the 5-week program... Show this message to your parents and tell them it will be the best decision they ever made to send you to Berklee for the 5-week experience. Good luck! :)

    I'm 23 and I started playing guitar 5 years ago. I think I'm a intermediate level player but feels like i'm stuck right know. For me it have been very difficult to practice guitar since I started playing at the same time I started college so I didn't had a lot of time to practice as much as I wanted. I'm a self taught guitarist and I learned a lot all this time but know I feel like I need a teacher to get to the next level. I always going to regret the fact that I didn't start playing guitar earlier, now i'm getting my degree on engineering but my passion is music. At least I can have the guitar as a hobby. Thanks for the video man, now i'm motivated to get a teacher and improve my skills, and who knows, maybe in the future I can live from music.

    • @Michael-bt6ht
      @Michael-bt6ht ปีที่แล้ว

      you don't need a music degree unless you want a piece of paper. You can find a guitar teacher that graduated from Berklee or another music school. Tell the teacher to teach you everything he or she learned from the curriculum. Those topics are sight reading, music theory, harmony concepts, how to analyze Jazz, blues, and pop music, ear training like identifying intervals, major, minor, augmented, diminished triads, 7th chords, chord progressions, harmonic intervals ( 2 intervals played at the same time like a chord), guitar technique like rest strokes, reverse rest stroke, dynamics, vibrato, bending, playing with nuance, controlling your touch and control of the guitar, memorizing scales and their notes like Major scale and it's modes, melodic and harmonic minor, their modes and also chord progressions of those scales. Other important scales are the bebop (major, minor, and dominant is probably enough) although there are many more bebop scales, you could learn the chords built from the bebop scales also. Learn how to play cycles like cycle 2, cycle 3, cycle 4, etc you could do this with any scale like C major /(root pos)cycle 3 is C major, minor, G major, b diminished, d minor, f major, a minor, c major 1st inversion. You could do this with melodic and harmonic minor scales. learn how to harmonize melodies and learn reharmonization techniques. Learn how to transcribe music like guitar players, to sax players, horn players, etc. Learn how to count music in other time signatures and how to recognize different music meters. Learn chord progressions that come from the major modes and what notes of the major modes define the mode. For example, Dorian is defined by its natural 6. Dorian has a b3 ( flat 3) and b7 (flat 7) which is the same as the aeolian mode or natural minor except nature minor also has a flat 6th as well as the flat 3 and flat7 which means Dorian is unique because of the natural 6, it sounds minor because the 3 and 7 ( the leading tone) is flatted by the 6 is natural, making it brighter. The Lydian (4th) major mode is unique because it has a #4 meaning a C Lydian mode is the same as C major except C Lydian has an F# ( #4). The Dorian mode is the second major mode. All the modes have unique notes like this, they have chord progressions derived from their notes also like any scale. Also learning 4th voicings and how to use them in blues , jazz and other styles is good to work on
      These are only some topics you could work on but this is most of the curriculum taught in music schools ( Berklee ) I'm not sure about other music schools but I would assume these are taught at other schools like MI also.

    This is very enlightening actually. I must confess I cried while watching. A dream of mine is to go to Berklee, but It's not that easy considering I'm all the way down in South America... The description you gave about the admission process(auditioning, the parts to it, the interview process and all) gave me the hope that I might someday be able to get in, even though I'm more of a composer than a performance musician.

It has helped me realize my dreams are possible and as cheesy as this sounds, sometimes learning what feels impossible is not so far off is more hope-inducing than you can imagine.

    I graduated nursing school a year ago. In high school I felt such a tug gravitating towards music, but due to many reasons, I chose nursing. After years of trying to fit elsewhere, being afraid, I have come to the conclusion that above all else, taking care of myself needs to be priority. While I am still on that journey, I have fallen in love once again with music, and I have felt the same tug towards going to Berklee. I think it may take a couple years, but I want to try. Discouraged but never dictated.

    I never went to Berkeley, but I've live about 20 minutes from the school my entire life. My favorite gear-buying seasons have always been December before Christmas break and late spring when people are graduating. Every year I'd buy an amp and to a lesser degree guitars and countless pedals and various equipment.
    Unlike the typical State schools like University of Massachusetts-Boston, a large chunk of students are from other states. There's always people graduating then moving back to their home or some other state. The need for money, space and to lighten their travel has always worked in my favor. I can always find things that I can pick up for a few hundred$ less than you can buy them used anywhere else.

    I think why ppl generally go to college (especially creative field) is for networking. Its much easier then to look for job and collaborations and opportunities when u have already social bubble of needed field. When you on your own its way harder to find opportunities. Even if you make amazing music. I think Berklee is the place that gives you a lot of opportunities.

    I love playing the guitar especially learning theory but I'm broke as hell. so I buy books etc and I take my time learning theory, techniques, and skills setting. I worry that I won't be able to afford going to any college or university alot and I work and come home and just play the guitar. I guess many people have been where I am or are. I honestly don't care if I make money or not and I'm not after fame, I just want to be able to go further in my musical journey. I just hope i can outdo myself in 10 years after having put in so much effort into my playing. anyways who ever is discouraged right now just keep pushing yourself in theory and techniques. always look forward for advice and just know that music is win😁

    It's not just Berklee. I study Music Ed. at Western Illinois University, and the music department's drop rate of freshmen alone is over 50% in the first semester. Many people do not realize the hard work that goes into studying music. It's admirable that so many people want to pursue music, but I feel many underestimate the hours that are really required. I don't know how rough it was for you at Berklee, but I know many kids at Western who only study music who end up very sleep deprived throughout the semesters.

    I got into Berklee in 2018, I was very excited but then I realized my parents and I could not afford it and I did not receive any scholarships which was disheartening. So I decided to attend UW Madison to major in data science while still taking a piano class. I just graduated in May 2022 and now I'm an intern for the Minnesota Twins baseball team!

It was verrrry nerve racking being in the practice room for almost an hour. I thought I was done for ;-;

    I had a very very different experience. There were two guys that were there. The guy that was the main judge played piano rather than the guitar which made it very different imo. They were not as warm and welcoming as other experiences I have read about including this video. They even stopped halfway through my prepared piece (Lenny by SRV) for some reason. I didn’t even get to complete it, very strange, they did compliment that it was very good and that I played it well though. The one judge even said “Oh that’s a great tune!” When they asked what piece I had prepared. I did play it perfectly mind you and they definitely gave me positive feedback with most aspects except sight reading. The sight reading I totally bombed however I was able to identify the notes as I know how to read music. Even played some of the chords that were on the paper. Was able to play all of the 7 chords just fine. They asked how I learned Lenny and told them the main motif was taught by my teacher , but leaned the rest by ear which is the truth. Very very different experience. The improv went very well and they told me I was able to adapt to the random key changes well etc. During ear training the guy played phrases on the piano and I had to play them back, couldn’t get every note 100% and was then asked if I could sing them which I was able to do perfectly. The whole audition seemed very very rushed and almost as if the musicians were bothering them being there. This might have been because I auditioned in Philly as I don’t live close to Boston. If I don’t get accepted I will try again in Boston no doubt. I in no way expected this to be easy by any means whatsoever but from what I’ve gathered from other people I had a very different experience. They complimented my influences and said it was cool to see a guitarist mention Eddie hazel as they’ve never heard a guitarist mention his name. Also said I had a very good passionate bluesy sound/style and that the whole ear training thing can definitely be developed and taught to me no problem so I don’t know what to make of the whole thing. The interview was amazing and definitely felt like more of a conversation than interrogation, very nice experience. They also had a fender frontman as an amp which was strange because I play through a SF super reverb but that was no problem to play through. Have heard of people having the option of a few different amps that are close to what they own.

      Martini Henry Thank you brother much appreciated. Good luck to you and your journey as well. I actually used to play piano myself about 10 years ago but stupidly quit for the guitar. Played for years and studied classical music with a really great old Russian teacher. I still might get back into I miss it a ton. Personally for me guitar was way harder to learn because your fingers have to press down/fret the note to make the sound, it’s completely foreign at first. Piano you can simply press your finger and the key and the note desired is crystal clear, it’s much less tactile than the guitar. Both are equally as difficult to play proficiently though. Cheers!

I do understand that there are maybe hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people better than me, and it will be great to meet them. The one thing that scares me is the cost. I'll be paying off loans for the rest of my life for this school or filling out scholarships for a year.

    Great video! I had the chance to go to music school after high school, including Berklee and Musicians Institute, but sadly decided to forego those options due to the significant impact that the industry has had on up and coming musicians. After taking a left turn from the industry and getting both a bachelor's and master's degree now, I'm thinking of getting regaining what I lost by not going to berklee or MI (especially after the years of guitar practicing and music theory classes throughout my life), and think the online programs would be great. What are your thoughts on the Berklee online certificate programs, and do they add any real value?

    I'm wanting to go to music school very much. I live in the midwest. There aren't a lot of music schools around me, and the one that is close by, isn't the greatest. I looked at Berklee kinda as a joke, but then saw what the audition actually entailed, and I was like, "Holy shit, I could actually do that." So now I'm actually considering at the very least trying to get in (cause why not). Unfortunately for you, I would not be going for guitar, but for piano (cause I'm going on ten years of piano playing). I'm really sure I wouldn't get in, but it'd be cool if I did. The thought of doing anything else but music with my life is terrifying.

I can just keep learning and playing the guitar for hours on end and I am almost completely self taught till now. Every time I learn something new about the guitar, it's an out of body experience. I really wanna know if Berkley is right for me. are there any part time courses you can attend, I want to learn.
