And we're back...again :) So my son, now a freshman at SUNY Purchase, got his music mojo/confidence back after thinking for a while he didn't want to major in music, and has now decided that he REALLY wants to transfer to Berklee(yeah, to those who know us--I know! But he's SO much more confident in his abilities now, thank God!).
So we're in Boston, and just got back from his Early Decision audition. He was up there for over an hour. I asked someone on staff how long auditions usually take, and she said usually about 25-30 minutes. In my experience, the longer the better--I think.
Just doing the post-audition nervous replay of the thing here, and wondering if others here think it might be a good sign that they spent so much time with him.
He now does both guitar (and keyboard), and classical composition. He's really into playing progressive rock a la Dream Theatre/John Petrucci now, and that's what he played at the audition.
I just think he'd be in heaven at Berklee, and so does he, now that he believes in himself as a musician.
