Berklee Press is the only publisher of music instruction books and videos based on the renowned Berklee College of Music teaching methods and curriculum.

Founded in 1945, Berklee College of Music is the world's largest independent music college and the premier institution for the study of contemporary music. The college's 3,800 students and 460 faculty members interact in an environment designed to provide the most complete learning experience possible, including all of the opportunities and challenges presented by a career in the contemporary music industry.

Using Berklee's extensive facilities, located in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, students develop musical competencies in such areas as composition, performance and recording/production , and also learn to make the informed business decisions necessary to career success.

Since the college's inception, one of its primary goals has been to foster international understanding through the medium of contemporary music. Young musicians come to Berklee from every corner of the earth to study music, and as a result, Berklee is a uniquely international college. Of all U.S. colleges and universities, Berklee has the largest percentage of undergraduate students from outside the U.S.—26 percent—representing more than 70 countries.

Berklee offers student musicians courses of study toward a fully accredited four-year baccalaureate degree or diploma. The curriculum includes majors in such fields as Performance, Composition, Music Production and Engineering, Film Scoring, Music Business/Management, Music Synthesis, and Music Education. The college inaugurated a new Music Therapy major in the fall of 1996.

Roger H. Brown became Berklee's third president in 2004. Bringing vast experience to the college as an early childhood educator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Brown was inaugurated in December 2004. He has already had a huge impact on the college, and in his inauguration address, he announced a bold new vision for the college's future.

Many Berklee alumni are prominent music industry professionals, including producer/arranger Quincy Jones; rock singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge; Steely Dan leader Donald Fagen; producer and Atlantic Recording Studios VP Arif Mardin; jazz vibraphonist Gary Burton; singer/songwriter Patty Larkin; guitarist John Scofield; Living Colour drummer Will Calhoun; singer/songwriter Bruce Cockburn; film composer Alan Silvestri; guitarist and Tonight Show bandleader Kevin Eubanks; singer/songwriter Paula Cole; and jazz saxophonist/composer Branford Marsalis.

Written by professional musicians, including respected Berklee faculty and alumni, Berklee Press titles enable each reader to learn about the performance, business, technology and songwriting of music on their own turf and timetable.

Berklee Press is now stronger than ever! They published their first music instruction books nearly forty years ago, and we are pleased to announce the release of an exciting array of new titles for the next generation of musicians.
