Description:

From the Moog analog synthesizers in the 1960s to the 1980s trend toward digital synthesizers and on into the contemporary usage of computers, performance controllers, and mobile devices, electronic digital instruments have long been capable of offering artists a new range of musical expression.

Berklee now offers the electronic digital instrument (EDI) as one of the many principal instruments you can study. No matter what major you end up pursuing, you will complete at least four semesters of private instruction, labs, and ensembles with this instrument. This fulfills your performance core requirement.
