I just got accepted into the piano So thrilled!!! Thank you so much

[victoriareyes]

Honestly, I don’t think I’m talented enough for it but I’d love to be a part of something like that. Music means so much to me.

[MarcusChow]

I'm proud of everyone that made it to Berklee

[uraharamitchell]

I was expecting to have the s**t scared out of me dreaming about getting into this School...

Now I look at it, it's not that intimidating now, I feel a lil bit less shaky.

The only thing I lack is the ability to read and write, otherwise I have high hopes I'd be able to attend, going by what this video has shown

[christophermi]

Would love to enroll into this department!

[tiffanyonwudinanti]

If I audition and get in with trombone, can I establish piano as a secondary principle instrument?

[gabrielmedina]

I have a bit of technicality in terms of speed and knowledge however I lack the ability to read and write...
I dont think Ill get accepted because of that.. Berklee however truly is my dream and to me is a haven to all musicians

[nezkeys]

would have liked to hear some actual piano for more than 10 seconds though

[Froggydoo]

Is there a department for unique instruments like didgeridoo or ocarina?

[miscellanyman]

Will the next HIROMI (Uehara), please reveal yourself? (wink!)
