About The Scholarship Program

Scott...thanks for the info. I've had the opportunity to meet with and work with numerous Berklee students and graduates.

A trumpet player I worked with for a long time was a graduate who came to Kentucky to get his masters.

Outstanding school and an innovative outreach scholarship program.

One of my guitarists in a band I played in years ago was a Berklee graduate. Boy that man got one hell of good music education from that school. He has to be the best guitar player I've ever heard and played with. He was also a very good piano player too. He was so strong in music theory, technique, composition, and many other areas of music. That man could transpose a song on the keys blind folded. He knew so many scales too. Berklee is a great school, and after seeing first hand what a Berklee education was, it's something I'll never forget. Last I heard this guy moved out tho New York and is working in a huge studio making some big bucks.
