It seems to me though that many of the students who attended there did very
well for themselves in the music industry. Two of my friends that went there
are now very well known in there respective Genres
May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!
Music soft sacred and soulful

Just passing this on.
Recently, Berklee College of Music in Boston released a study claiming to
give accurate salary expectations in various areas of the music industry. No
surprise, this document is in a /parents sub-directory on their site, since
it's just a marketing tool for the people with the creditcards. Please see
below for some interesting and startling statistics from the UK, probably
closer to reality!
