Hello everyone! :) I received a lot of questions about Berklee so I decided to make a Q&A video and answer the questions that repeated a lot! Hope it will help some of you. You can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIGwk5qcoLuloaM . Have a good day and good luck with your audition! :)

You are correct! I have watched many videos about Berklee! I'm not even going there. My daughter is and I don't think she's even seen as many videos about Berklee like I have. But since she was 13 she started writing songs. At 15 she released her first song (FYL) on Spotify and all the other streaming platforms. That one song is almost at 8 million streams! Anyway, she is there and is loving everyday at Berklee. Thanks for sharing your experience! In case you ask, my daughter goes by LEANYS on all streaming platforms. Have a great day!

If it’s March 31st then it’s gonna be 7 weeks for me to finally get my decisions. That’s just too much for me... Thank you for your help in advance.
