I am majoring in performance... But on drum set, not orchestral percussion. Unfortunetaly, berklee does not really cater to classical performance :( It is mostly geared towards jazz kids. So if you want to do performance, improv is a huge factor. Listen to gypsy jazz. That style of music is soooooooo cool because it only utilizes strings! Listen to it if you haven't already! I love it and I am sure you will too! There are some orchestras and small chamber ensembles but they are very limited.
that's fine. this is my dream school. the campus is modern. it's looking towards the future and is always keeping up with what's going on in music today. and i walk down the streets and everyone has an instrument on their back and i know a guy who loves it here and he's so passionate and real. i can add that same attitude to this school. it's in fuckin' boston. it's like a calmer version of new york. it still has that art scene though. it's an urban area. where i can find a lot of gigs start things there. meet people. network. good enviroment for music. the teacher is so incredibly nice. he was the only one who i clicked with and was really nice to me on the college tour with my dad. he made me feel okay about myself! hahah. for once. he was personable and taught me things i never knew on the first lesson. he said it was fine if i stick with my classical roots he is there to nurture whatever path i want to go on. whatever growth i want to start doing. god. it's perfect. but i'm so afraid that i won't be able to show them all this in an interview and an audition. that i won't be able to play all the improvising and jazz stuff. i don't know that. that's why i want to go there to learn and i will. i'm a fast learner and i work my butt off. i'm not one of those naturally talented people. i work. i can learn the jazz feel and shit.
i just need the chance.
it's like luck almost.
i need this.
