[ Post a Response | Music Theory Forum ]
Posted by PSM113 Also, do you focus on traditional (classical) or jazz/contemporary theory? You will be required to study both to some extent at Berklee, and therefore, it would be wise to just dig a little into the basics of both if you have the understanding and patience. These two different veins of theory are very similar at their basic structures, but vary a great deal as you get to the more advanced levels. If you need any further help with your preparation and studies, or have any more questions, you would be better off emailing me at jbastura@gmail.com since I do not view posts on this forum on a regular basis. Good luck!

I recently graduated from Berklee (May 2006) and can tell you that Berklee, like some other schools, has its own personalized music theory "terms". It would benefit you most, if you plan on starting over from the beginning, to use the Berklee Press series of books if you plan on attending Berklee. I am not saying that Berklee music theory is a different theory than any other school teaches, just different terms and phrases sometimes. They also teach moveable "do", as opposed to fixed "do", which may or may not be important for you to know, depending on what your previous training has been.
