A World of Performing Outside Berklee

Our clarinet students have been selected for the prestigious Henry Mancini Institute in LA. Some go on to become music therapists, some are music educators and some pursue graduate programs in prestigious conservatories. Others pursue recording careers or perform as doublers in Broadway shows. While at Berklee, they often play with local orchestras and for theater shows. They play Classical, Latin, Jazz and Pop music at hospitals and community and senior centers all over the Boston area through our unique Music Therapy Performance Outreach Project.
