You can learn soo much at Berklee and get incredibly nasty. If you're willing to work. That's all it boils down to. And yes, a lot of people are dicks. Welcome to life.

you can get to be a great player if you work period.
you don't need to be a music student to be a great player, but you do need to be gifted to be a great player without having instruction. having a good teacher can help someone with moderate skill to become great.
being a great player doesn't mean you can teach though. berklee has lots of great names teaching. how many of them can actually teach? i don't know.
that being said, berklee got it's bad reputation from accepting 74% of their applicants, only requiring (and i use the term "requiring" loosely) 2 years of "study" on the applying students "primary instrument". (white boy with dread locks steps out of daddy's BMW with a bong and a djimbe... faggots)
however, berklee is now being far more strict with their acceptance policy and the quality of the average student there should become much better over the next couple years.
they wanted fuckin money. that's all.
i went to UMASS Lowell. i majored in music education. i am very confident that i can at least play up to level of (probably totally fucking school) any berklee bassist.
schools like berklee give you a big head.
real musicians think with their balls and heart, not their brain.
i still believe that if you graduate from berklee, you have actually failed.
