As someone who competed at this festival, I would love to be able to purchase this somewhere if at all possible. That was a fantastic weekend, and it would be great to watch it all from the beginning.

Dear MTS,
This will be hard to answer without more info. What are you looking for in a music school?
What instrument do you play?
What type of jazz is your specialty?

Whitin three years Berklee School of Music will open a delegation in my country (first they open outside of the States), will you consider Berklee more focused for jazz students or Juilliard?.

Hope we can view more. It’s always interesting to observe teachers coaching from behind the scenes because we never really know what will happen on stage! These students are so gifted! Glo.
