Gear and Supplies
With about 3,500 musicians at Berklee, it's no surprise that a diversity of music related businesses has grown around the college, creating a strong support community to meet the musical needs of our faculty and students.
The Berklee Bookstore
You'll find course materials, required reading, workbooks, sheet music and computer software; your basic supplies, like pens, notation paper, reeds and strings; and sweatshirts, caps, t-shirts, notecards, and bumper stickers at the Berklee Bookstore. The bookstore is one of the few places in the city where you can find and order a full range of music-related publications, including many that are published through the college's Berklee Press and written by past and current faculty members.Be sure to take a look at the Berklee Bookstore website to learn more about the store's offerings and to make purchases online.
Local Music Stores
Just up the block from Berklee are a number of music equipment suppliers like Rayburn Musical Instruments, Daddy's Junky Music, Steinway Pianos, Piano Forte, Inc., Adrums, and Jack's Drum Shop, where you can buy musical supplies, audio equipment, and/or new or used equipment and instruments. Beyond the Berklee area are a number of stores dealing in guitar and bass, keyboard, percussion, string, brass and wind instruments and related supplies.There are also several chain and independent music retailers like Newbury Comics, Looney Tunes and Mystery Train, all within a few blocks of the college, and beyond the Berklee area, HMV and Strawberry's, just to name a few.
