At Berklee, we believe that the arts better the lives of everyone. That's why we offer the ABLE Day Sessions program for musicians with disabilities. Study your instrument in group lessons.





Play or sing with other musicians in an ensemble. Experience music through drumming, singing, and music technology workshops. Learn from other musicians in clinics. Share your music in a performance with your ensemble at the end of the week.
In-Person classes. The program will run for five days a week, 9AM to 3PM at our Boston campus.
Performance Opportunities
Each week of the ABLE Day Sessions Program ends with a final showcase concert at 2:00 p.m. on Friday.
This program is for students ages 9–17. You must be at least 9 years old by the start of the program, and you must have at least six months of playing or singing experience. Students older than 17 can participate on a case-by-case basis.
Students must be able to participate effectively in lessons or classes, and maintain an environment that is safe for themselves and others. We strive to create and maintain a safe and effective learning environment for all of our students. Therefore, students who engage in behaviors that may be unsafe for themselves or others will not be permitted to participate in our programs: they will be dismissed.
Our class and ensemble programs provide small group supervision and instruction with low teacher-to-student ratios, but we do not provide one-on-one support for individual students. Students who require such support may be accepted to our programs and may be able to participate in the programs, but they must be accompanied by a personal caregiver or assistant provided by the student's family.
Please complete form to apply for the Day Sessions: ABLE summer music program for musicians with disabilities, ages 9–17 (older students can participate on a case-by-case basis). Applications will be reviewed by our team, and Dr. Rhoda Bernard, the Berklee Institute for Accessible Arts Education managing director, will contact you directly to arrange a follow-up meeting and/or phone call.
