Title: Berklee
Post by: nakedman on August 13, 2010, 07:04:54 PM: Hello all! I would like to inform you about some very exciting news (to me anyways). I auditioned for Berklee in Miami around 6 months ago, performing a Virgil Donati piece entitled Native Metal. Come to find out I made it in with a hefty scholarship! I have been living in the Boston area for a few weeks now and it's great, especially Berklee itself. I walk into local music stores and EVERYONE is amazing, which is very nerve-racking! Anyways, I would like to know if any of you are currently attending Berklee, or any other major music universities that have some words of wisdom for a lowly freshman as myself. Also, if anyone has any questions let me know. :)

Do you have any specific instrument or what is your focus?

Also, congrats!
