Berklee College of Music

Berklee College of Music was founded on the revolutionary principle that the best way to prepare students for careers in music was through the study and practice of contemporary music. For over half a century, the college has evolved constantly to reflect the state of the art of music and the music business. With over a dozen performance and nonperformance majors, a diverse and talented student body representing over 70 countries, and a music industry “who's who” of alumni, Berklee is the world's premier learning lab for the music of today—and tomorrow. As of January 2011, Berklee alumni have won 192 Grammy Awards® and 54 Latin Grammys®.In September 2011, Berklee will begin instruction in its first campus beyond Boston, in Valencia, Spain.
