Berklee College of Music, Boston, USA

Marking itself out from the competition, Boston's legendary Berklee College trains students in contemporary music rather thanclassical traditions.

The revolutionary music school opened its doors in 1945, when Bostonian engineer and orchestral arranger Lawrence Berk decided he wanted to offer practical career preparation to the musicians of tomorrow.

Berklee offers highly popular and cutting edge degree majors in music therapy, music business and management as well as in film scoring, songwriting and electronic production. Previous alumni have managed to amass a whopping 250 Grammys and Latin Grammys in total.
