Each summer, Berklee welcomes students across the globe to its campus in the heart of Boston. More than 3,000 students travel from over 70 countries to hone their craft, make global connections, and collaborate with other like-minded musicians, actors, and dancers. Our faculty are Grammy-, Oscar-, and Tony-winning artists who are dedicated to helping you learn how to succeed in today’s performing arts and entertainment industries. In addition to our world-renowned undergraduate faculty, Berklee summer program participants learn from acclaimed visiting artists. Recent guests include Jacob Collier, Charlie Puth, Esperanza Spalding, and Ebony Williams. At Berklee, we believe that the arts better the lives of everyone. That's why we offer the ABLE Day Sessions program for musicians with disabilities. Study your instrument in group lessons. Play or sing with other musicians in an ensemble. Experience music through drumming, singing, and music technology workshops. Learn from other musicians in clinics. Share your music in a performance with your ensemble at the end of the week. Our class and ensemble programs provide small group supervision and instruction with low teacher-to-student ratios, but we do not provide one-on-one support for individual students. Students who require such support may be accepted to our programs and may be able to participate in the programs, but they must be accompanied by a personal caregiver or assistant provided by the student's family. At Able, performance opportunities are available to you almost every day. Brief overlook of daily sample schedule: - Ensembles :Sorted by ability and interest (genre); heterogeneous groups -Workshops: Rotation between drumming, chorus, and music technology -Sectionals :Sorted by instrument (piano, guitar, vocals, winds, percussion) to work on new content or ensemble music - Music Skills : Rotation of various musical skill-focused activities Clinic and Q&A : Guest visiting artist (a musician with a disability): 30-minute performance/presentation and 15-minute Q&A
