Berklee Music shares knowledge


As I wrote about Julian Lage I also checked the website of the Berklee College of Music. Founded in 1945 as Schillinger House of Music the school was renamed in 1973, when it was officially accredited, after the son of the found Lee Berk in Berklee College of Music. An interesting fact is also that the college has of all US American colleges the highest ratio of international students. 26% of the students come from 70 deifferent countries.

Whatever, beside various courses for all different instruments in composition, performance, production or education you can also study music management at Berklee. Additionally to the courses, anybody, student or not can download various PDFs on music industry basics and current issues in publishing, marketing or management. To everyone who's kinda into the whole business it is more or less common sense and pretty much just scratching the surface. However, I found it nice to reflect on certain issues and getting some new insights.

And anyways providing education and information for free is always a nice move (considering tuition fees of about 20 k per year ;-))
