2446.0. "Any recommendations for Berklee School visit ?" by BONNET::BAILLET () Thu Feb 20 1992 13:22

    Hello Music Lovers !
    
    I leave for Boston this Sunday and I'll be there for 2 weeks.
    
    I would really like to go to the Berklee School of Music.
    Any recommendation ? Do you know if it is possible to go there
    without giving a call before ?
    Is it opened on week end ?
    
    Thanks in advance for your answers

	I'd recommend you call first when you get stateside,as I remember they have pretty strict security...due to the neighborhood,then again this may have changed since the 70's.... when it looked like a real dump..... Rick

	They have an open house scheduled for 3/7 (Saturday). This takes about 3 hours in the morning. They also have tours of the premises during the week. You can contact the admissions office by phone at 617-266-1400. I went to the open house in October and it was very good. They discuss the program and answer questions. Then we were given a show by a very good student ensemble. Then we were taken on a tour of the facilities. It was all quite impressive.

	I'd shot this off to Buck in mail,.. but maybe the answer would benefit some in here so,... Where is the Berklee book store? When is it open? Can anybody go in or is it students only? Thanks /Bill

	The Berklee Book STore used to be in the basement of the 1150 Boylston st. bldg, but I bet anything they have moved it to the new store on Mass Ave. I doubt if Berklee cares WHO buys their books, as long as cash is payed for them. Go to that section of town, ask anyone who looks like a 'cat' where the book store is, then go find what you want.

	The book store's on Mass Ave. along "Berklee Beach". That's the ground floor of the building at Mass and Boylston. I shop there. I'm not a student. Great part of town for music stores, too. Correspondence course... no more.
