  1. Re: Need advice, Accepted to Berklee and Musicians Institute...Where do I go!?

    I am going to attend Berklee for the twelve week full credit Summer semester, and then the fall semester at MI. I feel the only way to know which is best for me is to try both!

    Wish me luck!

    If you can play the rudiment musically and clean on the snare then its the angle or height of your hats!

  4. Re: Need advice, Accepted to Berklee and Musicians Institute...Where do I go!?

    So the notion I am getting is that Berklee will provide a higher level of education while MI's location will allow for better networking and gig oppurtunities. Now I just have to figure out which I...

  8. Re: Need advice, Accepted to Berklee and Musicians Institute...Where do I go!?

    There seems to be so many pros and cons to think about I'm better off flipping a coin!

    Or maybe looking into the current faculty to really see who is happening. That sounds like a better idea.
  9. Re: Need advice, Accepted to Berklee and Musicians Institute...Where do I go!?

    Well MI has no housing so it would require an apartment, while Berklee has dorms and a café.
    MI practice rooms open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    Berklee practice rooms close at midnight or...

  11. Re: Need advice, Accepted to Berklee and Musicians Institute...Where do I go!?

    Thanks guys!
    So MI is fully acreddited now? It was unclear on the website. I feel that MI will train me more on my main instrument, while Berklee will make me an all around better musician, learning...
