The Beginning

Founding Principle

Berklee College of Music was founded on the revolutionary principle that the best way to prepare students for careers in music is through the study and practice of the music of the day.

Mission

• The mission of Berklee College of Music is to educate, train, and develop students to excel in music as a career.

• Developing the musicianship of all our students is the foundation of our curriculum. We believe that the lessons and qualities derived from that work—the self-discipline needed for excellence, the empathy required of music making and the openness and inquisitiveness essential to creativity—are critical to achievement in any pursuit, musical or otherwise; and that music is a powerful catalyst for personal growth, which is central to any collegiate experience.
