“I attended Berklee’s Music Entrepreneurship Summer Program and due to the fact that lots of professors and professionals from the music industry actually came in and taught us lessons, I was able to learn more about the industry and found it to be super interesting. I feel like enjoying and asking questions whenever I have one since the professors were always really helpful and was willing to tell me everything they knew.”

“We learned a lot from other teams’ performances, our own presentations, and feedback from the judges. I do think it was a valuable experience as it showed how a formal business-related competition should be like, to high school students.”
