"Teaching Music Traders a Lesson"

The Berklee College of Music is known as one of the best and most prestigious contemporary music conservatories in the world. The school hosts a wealth of knowledge ranging from lessons in the traditional jazz technique to the freedom of new, innovative composition. However, Berklee does not wish to hold this abundance of information hostage. In fact, Berklee is encouraging it's students to share lessons, music files, songs, and other musical genius online. This article explores the pros and cons of sharing collegiate information online, and how this new technology will affect music students of the future. In "Teaching Music Traders a Lesson," the author challenges her audience to enter a world where the digital age and the historic age of music collaborate to make a place where it is easy, and accepted, for students to learn through downloading and surfing the web.
