Blue skies, sunshine, cacti, and music.
Liz Burg here, I’m a publicist in Berklee’s Office of Media Relations.
I’m on the road with the Berklee admissions team in Phoenix, Arizona, scouting prospective students for Fall 2011. Over the past two days, we met about 40 studentss hoping for an invitation to attend Berklee in September. Talented young musicians traveled from around the Southwest and as far as Texas, Wyoming, and even British Columbia to hopefully perform at their best for two Berklee faculty members and interview with a member of Berklee’s admissions department.
One unique aspect of Berklee auditions is the involvement of student ambassadors. Sixth semester students Athena Frost and Tara Comes accompanied us on the road to greet prospective students and answer their questions (or their parents’ questions!) about student life at Berklee. Meeting student ambassadors like Athena and Tara can give prospective students an honest look into life at Berklee. Check out the video after the jump to listen to Athena and Tara answer some of my questions about being student ambassadors.

Read the first post from Brazil.
Berklee's Bruno Raberg (bass) and Jim Odgren (sax) entertain the crowd.
We’ve had a full week in São Paulo in conjunction with our partner school Souza Lima. The agenda included clinics from our extraordinary faculty team (Jim Odgren, Bruno Raberg and Matt Glaser), auditions and interviews for admission applicants, visits to local schools and government organizations, interviews for radio and television and a lot of opportunity for all of us to learn more about Brazil and its music.
As I reflect on the week, the word that continuously comes to mind is joy. Every experience, from our interactions with students, teachers, local musicians, and the Brazilian people themselves, is engulfed by a kind of joyous exuberance for life, and especially for music.

The warmth and friendliness of the Brazilian people surrounds us as we visit our partner school in São Paulo (Souza Lima College of Music) and conduct auditions and interviews for admission. While the occasional nuance may be lost in translation (our collective Portuguese ability approximates zero!) we are welcomed with open arms and a shared respect and love for music and education.

Hoje irei discutir algo que me perguntam constantemente,o processo de inscrição para a Berklee College of Music. Eu sei quão confusas as coisas podem ficar quando lidamos com um website escrito todo em inglês. No meu caso tive que esperar 2 anos inteiros desde o momento que decidi vir pra Berklee até finalmente botar meus pés em Boston. Espero que este blog consiga deixar o processo mais claro caso você queira se juntar a nós aqui em Boston!
