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.....

2446.2You might be in luck...SMURF::BENNETTWhat rolls down the stairs alone or in pairs?Thu Feb 20 1992 15:0210
	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

    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.
