Application Deadline: May 31, 2024

Please review all information on the Lessons Program website and the Official Participant Guidelines prior to applying. 

Within the form below you will be asked to upload a well-written, one-page personal statement describing the following: 

  • Your goal for these lessons (What new skill or insight do you hope to learn?)
  • How you hope your requested instructor(s) will help you achieve this goal 
  • How you believe these lessons will enhance your own teaching (directly and/or indirectly)


All learner applications are reviewed after the deadline by a committee of Berklee faculty and staff members, and hours are awarded on a competitive basis. Factors that are taken into consideration include past participation, thoughtfulness, and a clear demonstration of how this would be a unique and new learning opportunity for the applicant. 

Learners will be notified by early June whether or not they have been awarded lesson hours for the upcoming year. 

We use Submittable to accept and review our submissions.
