Faculty Comments

"One of the most important differences between online learning and classroom participation is the complete absence of the shyness factor. In complete privacy, the online student is able to make as many efforts to grasp something as is necessary without concern about what others may think." --Michael Rendish, Assistant Chair of Berklee College of Music's Film Scoring Department and Online Instructor of Getting Inside Harmony.

Student Comments

"Sometimes it's good to read a book and talk to someone about what you've read. It's even better when you can talk to the person who wrote the book you're reading. That's one of the great things about Berklee's online program. I can learn from the person who wrote the book, and enjoy the flexibility that I need." -R. Williams
