We believe there are established granting sources to enable us to expand core programs into markets we would not otherwise be able to serve. We see these as valuable ways of expanding the scope of the Berklee experience and of increasing institutional visibility, but we do not expect to devote institutional funding to these ventures.

2.1 Promote music technology education. Establish an institute devoted to the promotion of teaching music through technology.	Berklee has received a grant from the Department of Education to create a program for teaching high school music educators how to better use technology. There is opportunity to create national standards that will positively impact the way technology is used in music classrooms.
	Suggestions from the community that helped shape this initiative: consider establishment of music technology research facility investigate extension programs/continuing education progress on this initiative
2.2 Expand City Music. Expand access to City Music Program to students in major urban areas beyond Boston.	Berklee City Music is a very successful program for Boston high school students interested in music. It provides mentoring, Saturday school programs, and scholarships to Berklee summer and full-time programs. City Music receives significant financial support from local foundations. This program could potentially be expanded to provide similar opportunities to students in other urban areas.
