Souvlakia and bouzoukia in Athens

Souvlaki is always a hit with the students on their arrival in Athens. If you’re familiar with a gyro sandwich, then you have the basic concept: a thick grilled pita with shaved chicken, pork, or kebab, with tomato, lettuce, sauce, and deliciously seasoned french fries (yes, fries in a sandwich – genius!).

Around town in Freiburg

Cleaning my metaphorical desk (meaning: cell phone camera) after the holiday break, I came across these Freiburg photos. More angles and corners on the Berklee study-abroad experience, at the Jazz & Rock Schulen and around the city.

The Freiburg/Berklee connection

“In our school history, the most important partnership is the partnership to Berklee,” said Jazz & Rock Schulen managing director Reinhard Stephan. Berklee helped provide an instructional foundation for the Jazz & Rock Schulen when it began—and now, the study-abroad program is helping the school amplify its presence on the global scene

Freiburg in the classroom (part one)

Piano professor Philippe Moehrke likes green. Bright green. His seven-piano practice studio at the Jazz & Rock Schulen has lime green walls, lime green splashes on the door, and a neon green fleece throw on the couch. He also bakes very good cookies, which he pressed on everyone who came in Tuesday morning.
