BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC Q&A 2021

[@shermanngjazz]

I got into Berklee in 2018, I was very excited but then I realized my parents and I could not afford it and I did not receive any scholarships which was disheartening. So I decided to attend UW Madison to major in data science while still taking a piano class. I just graduated in May 2022 and now I'm an intern for the Minnesota Twins baseball team!

Finally!! I found someone who's also studying music like me 😊 your video gives me the push and the confidence to post my piano covers on my YT channel

Hey Carolina! I really enjoyed this! I was a student at Berklee over ten years ago, I graduated in 2009 and it is a time in my life I hold very dear. I really do need to come back and visit and see how the campus has changed with the new buildings. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

[@carolinaschott]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words :)
