What did you study at Berklee — guitar, composition, arrangement?
I was a professional-music major with a concentration in composition, which meant that I studied performance and compositional things. In some cases, I studied stuff I simply wasn’t ready for, like arranging for horns. Now it makes a lot more sense to me than it did at the time, because you learn at such a fast rate. I learned beyond what I could apply at that school. I wish somebody had grabbed me and shook me and told me, “Don’t forget what you liked when you came in here.
