Berklee On the Road (BOR) took place for the first time in
Brazil from November 1 to 4, in the “Jardins” branch of
Souza Lima School of Music. BOR is an intensive course in
improvisation designed for all musical styles in which Berklee
and Souza Lima together teach classes during four
consecutive days and students leave with a certificate from
the two institutions.

7. BOR 2012
This course has been taking place for 20 years now in
Puerto Rico and for the past 15 years in Italy. In both of
these places, the course lasts up to a week and has an
average of 500 students per year. Here in Brazil, this was
the first year, but it will become and annual event.

8. BOR 2012
In this first edition, Fernando Huergo (bass), George Russell
Jr. (piano) and Casey Scheuerell (drums) came from
Berklee. Lupa Santiago (guitar) and Guilherme Ribeiro
(piano) represented Brazil and Souza Lima. During the four
days, there were master classes every morning. After lunch,
in addition to the master classes, students also had
ensemble practice with the professors.

9. BOR 2012
So that all students could take advantage of all the
professors, the student group was divided into four parts and
the professors traded off teaching the different groups. On
one of the nights of BOR, there was a concert, but on the
other nights student jam sessions ruled the evenings, which
led to lots of interaction between all the participants, who had
come form all four corners of Brazil and all of Latin America.

“Students of all levels wound up winning,” commented Lupa
Santiago. And he already announced that next year the
second edition of the BOR will take place: “The course is
neither for solely advanced level students nor for just basic
level students. There are challenges for all levels,” Lupa
explains. “This is a super dense course and everyone will
end up with lots of material to work on.”
