Berklee Freshman Survival Video Part 1

[EricVera539]

really cool vid!!! (: thanks! can u tell me the name of the songs? (:

[scrollandkey]

do any people in their 30's or 40's go to Berklee or is it all youngsters?

[cliffgoodbye]

"Boston can get REALLY cold in the winter time." HAhahaha! Really? I was there for a summer program in JUNE and it was like 50 degrees and rainy! It's freaking cold up there!

[SwoodBooster]

SOOOOO HELPFUL!!!!!

[DuaLeaD]

Most people don't know that the city planners of Boston were COWS....The main drags are old cow paths. That is why all the roads are clusterfucked up and you can't get anywhere efficiently....

[roundhousekicker88]

One of my friends moved to Boston to go there. And once he got there, he realized he forgot his guitar O__O

[FermerMetal]

those are some shitty ass winter boots

[ProjectBerklee]

this looks like a video made by a bunch of 14 year olds. not by a high-ranked prestigious university in the united states.

[rdangelo]

Also, careful walking through the fens...

[watermelonygoodness]

Lol "Do I go to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts?"

[Whatisthescore]

The only way to get treated fairly at Berklee is if you are a valuable asset to their advertising campaign. Then will will be treated with absolute favoritism.

[Whatisthescore]

Respond to this video... berklee is a scam

[TranslucentPlenum]

@Whatisthescore what do you mean?

[LIGHTRONIX]

I think this video was designed to deter youtube noobs from going Berklee...

[Frinkendel]

God I would LOVE to go to berlkee, its my life dream! But this video is so lame hahaha. But dont get me wrong, Im hoping to be there about 2/3 years! Cant wait!!

[guitarist247]

i got accepted and start sept 2010

[picure]

The music is soooo Berklee.. Haha (2007 Alumni)

[DRKERZ]

That was great, thank you. Hopefully this helps me for next year.

[HxCDOOM]

Performance/MP&E dual major is the way to go.

[aldenmarchand]

@HxCDOOM Can one do this? I'm going to be going there in the fall and this would be my top choice for sure..

[AsianMetalRhythm]

cant afford to go to berklee...

or my GAS

this video is so depressing.

[runescapeownyawe]

@AsianMetalRhythm

How much does it cost?

[PoposNewGuitarChan]

@runescapeownyawe over $30,000

[Madamblackwidow]

@runescapeownyawe depends what you do, I did the degree program, if you live on campus and do degree its a bit over 40 thousand a year, if you stay off campus its around 35,000

[cril1001001]

Lol @ "Why did I come here?"

[pete5668]

that cat is hip that cat is cool, that cat went to berklee school!

[TagTeamMusic1]

is the music production major more oriented in the enginerering aspects, or the performing aspects of production. . . ? anyone?

[berkleevideoservices]

MP&E is focused more on the technical side of the process. Check into the Contemporary Writing & Production major??

[vmeda95]

@berkleevideoservices does going for that major require an audition and knowledge of knowiwng to play several instruments?

[LIGHTRONIX]

@TagTeamMusic1 yea they don't do so much live sound engineering there, but you'll still learn it.

[brownpaiste]

lol could have used these videos.

[crazyaznperson]

I'd DEFINITELY listen to you, since all you can think of doing with 250,000 dollars is a "super car"

[clamness]

When I went to Berklee in the late 80's, they had all the freshman cram into the cafeteria for "orientation." Then they wheeled in a huge TV (for the late 80's) and popped in a vhs of "Spinal Tap". By the way, Berklee isn't a scam. It's crazy expensive true, but look at the list of musicians coming out of there. My freshman class...Roy Hargrove, Geoff Keezer, Antonio Hart, Chris Cheek, Julian Joseph, Dwayne Burno to name a few.

[axecollector]

I was there for that. The sad thing was that very few people actually laughed! Most people thought it was a documentary.

[Whatisthescore]

Berklee's a scam. Don't go there. You won't get what you paid for. Trust me. Go somewhere else.

[hoodbhe]

ya I cant wait only a month left

[Drucef]

You got accepted?  What's your instrument?

[hoodbhe]

Bass Guitar

[polishpirate123]

is it hard to get accepted?

[Whatisthescore]

they accept anyone because they want your money. they hope you will drop out.

[AnathemusVideos]

Exactly! People flood to this school now just because the members of dream theater attended here. IMO everything offered at berklee are things that you should be able to learn on your own. Nothing special is offered and when you graduate you have nothing to look forward too. The tuition is SHIT! Staying for four years is 250,000 and you can purchase a super car for that price. Best way is do it yourself and that will really determine if you have the skills. Most major artists don't attend school

[Whatisthescore]

You should still go to music school if you want to be professional...just don't go to Berklee.

[CassieChoirGeek]

which school then?

[Whatisthescore]

Try NEC, Manhattan School of Music, or Eastman or any state school's music program even.

[bborce87]

ha! i went to a state music school and it wasn't very worthwhile. they couldn't afford seperate classes for theory, arranging, composition, aural skills, harmony etc. so they crammed all the subjects into one class and called it "comprehensive musicianship." also, the school couldn't afford to give 4 years of private lessons to anyone except performance majors (most were music ed). i'd think twice before stating that any state music school is better than berklee.

[tacomeet]

they aren't big on drum set at those schools are they?

[Saxyman14]

No matter where you go, you're going to get better. Berklee is going to introduce you to a lot of people you're going to want to know if you want to get work as a musician/producer/etc...

[spencercromwell]

best advice i could give to anyone who is thinking of applying for later in the future, is to do the five week program. five week program + heavy winter coat= berklee undergraduate program :P

[GuitarLover83]

I hope I'll be there one day...

[peachysnapples]

Does anyone know what the song at 4:46 is!?

[ellhow]

Lol @ closeup at 1:30

[rrjii2000]

whats that jazz tune that starts at 2:57 in the vid, it's really cool!

Rob

[JSkidz]

OMG this is fantastic! I'm going there in the fall. AMAZING! THANK U! haha

[cmoney1860]

berklee doesn't offer acting classes eh? jk thanx for this

[Sessly]

Thank you!

I just got accepted and this really helps me haha.

[agaffa2010]
