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.

Jeanine Cowen, Professor of Film Scoring, discusses her introduction to percussion as a youth, her undergraduate study of composition and performance at Northwestern University, and her transfer to Berklee in 1986. Cowen discusses music technologies, including the rise of digital editing techniques, the benefit of collaboration on film scoring, and the professional activities of women in music production and engineering. She describes her own return to Berklee as a faculty member in 2004 following several years as a freelance composer and working in software development. She also discusses her work with the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, the Leadership Development Program (established in 2015), and the Berklee Curriculum Redesign Initiative (CRI), which introduced minor areas of study and supported the liberal arts curriculum.
