For the Average Student, a Poor Return on Investment

First and foremost, Berklee is a high-volume school which graduates over 1,000 students each year. The problem with this is the music industry cannot absorb that many professionals. As a consequence, the majority of graduates will never earn a living as a music industry professional. Berklee's own data state this. So the question becomes: Do you want to "invest" several hundred thousand dollars for a degree that may never see a return on investment? In our experience, this business model is deeply flawed. Moreover, with Berklee's recently-announced alliance with Suno AI into the curriculum, implicitly admits they see the future as one where prompting a chat bot to produce music instead of developing and honing such skills organically over the span of years is a viable way forward. Which begs another question: if AI is the future of music, why attend a music school in the first place?

Amazing

I do their on line course, the teachers are amazing and even though I live in a different country they way the online learning is designed I feel that I am part of the college. they do live lessons and to talk to people from all over the world is great. One can learn from peers as well as teacher. wonderful would highly recommend
