BCA-011: Berklee Oral History Project

Established in 1998, the Berklee Oral History Project (BOHP) seeks to chronicle Berklee’s rich history from those who have lived, shaped, and defined it. In capturing the diverse experiences and perceptions of Berklee faculty, staff, and alumni, Berklee Archives seeks to document Berklee’s pedagogical contributions to music education, as well as the events and issues that have impacted the direction and identity of the institution. This collection comprises video interviews from over 100 individuals closely associated with Berklee College of Music and the Boston Conservatory, including faculty, staff, presidents, and alumni. Some early interviews also feature individuals unaffiliated with Berklee who were active in the Boston jazz community.

Ted Pease, drummer and retired Berklee College of Music faculty member, discusses his early career including his time as a Berklee student in the early 1960s, as well as members of the faculty at that time including Alan Dawson, Joe Viola, and Bob Share. He describes his early years teaching at Berklee as well as the transitional period the school experienced in the late sixties and early seventies, caused by rapid enrollment growth and a shift in the curriculum to include other genres beyond jazz. He also discusses the origins of Berklee publishing, his evolution as a composer, the benefits of the Berklee Composition department, and twentieth-century and modern classical composers.
