What do you guys think about music school (i.e. berklee)

Posted by: Zephyr May 21 2008, 04:55 AM

I think music school is a great idea for anyone who is planning on doing anything related to music as a career. I'm actually planning on going to Berklee myself after high school.

I'm really interested in doing one of berklee's online courses, they look prety good.

I mean, music as a career isnt a certainty for me, but, just because i may not do it for a living should that stop me learning more about music?

Absolutely,music schools are always great resources of knowledge,
you can meet many great players as well,
go for it even if music isn't your career, just like Deep said

Learning is always good, no matter how good you are on your instrument, there are always things that you can improve, so yeah, a music school can't be bad.

That's why I am here at the University of GMC (UGMC) Kidding aside, I would love to attend a music school. Even though as DeepRoots said, not planning a career but want to create a musical path for my kids. Something I never had.

Music school offers great knowledge and lots of contacts in music related industry. So I definitely recommend it.

If you want to be the best player you can possibly be, consider Berklee or Musician's Institute. I am sure there are other schools just as capable of teaching you what you need, but those two stand out. You are not only taught how to play, but how to practice. Let me put it this way, if I had the money, I would go to Musicians' Institue in a heartbeat! Check out their website.

schools are great if you put the work in.... don't expect that by going to a school you are going to become great... that part is down to hard work. They can only direct you.
go for it!

If you can afford it - go for it !! Any form of musical education will be useful on a path to becoming a great player

Im 3 weeks from graduating and I know im going to take a year off, i've always had this idea of going into a buisness program, but for the past month I haven't been able to put my guitar down. Everyday I come home and all I do is play for hours apon hours and I thought music school might be a cool place to increase my knowledge of music and do what I love for a while

I say go for it! There is nothing more beautiful than doing (studying) what you love

I have been contemplating the idea of pursuing a minor in music at the university I am currently attending. That is always another option to get more training in your instrument and music in general, without leaving a career in music as your only option.

Music school is a great way to improve your playing probably the best one...
