How Bonny Baez Combines Online Music Education and Real-World Experience to Pursue Film Scoring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Early this spring, the Boston Pops embarked on their annual tour, bringing an 85-piece orchestra to selected cities around the US. Thanks to Pops violinist and Berklee Chief of Staff Melissa Howe<\/a>, Berklee Online student Bonny Baez was given the rare opportunity to go behind the scenes and see how the orchestra operates.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from the Dominican Republic, Bonny came to the US in his early twenties to escape an economic collapse in his home country. His first stop in the US was Nantucket, followed by more than a decade in New York City. Now living in Austin, TX with his wife and toddler son, he is devoting himself to a dream that had been on hold for many years: the study of music.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy original path was to be a musician,\u201d Bonny explains, \u201cbut when I moved to New York City, I found it a little hard for me to be a musician at that point. I was an immigrant and I just needed to get a job real quick, so I decided to go down the graphic design route.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He quickly found success in the field of video game production, first as a graphic designer then as an animator.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past two years, Bonny has transitioned from his full-time career as an animator, and now splits his time between freelance animation work and a focus on music. With Berklee Online, he earned a jazz guitar certificate and discovered a passion for film scoring that led him into the Music Composition for Film, TV, and Games bachelor\u2019s program<\/a>. Bonny cites Berklee Online instructor Ben Newhouse<\/a> as a significant influence, pointing to a chance in-person meeting with Ben as an instrumental moment in defining his career path.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also somewhat by chance that Bonny had the opportunity to meet Melissa Howe<\/a> on the recent Boston Pops tour. Over the winter term, Bonny studied Music Theory and Composition 1<\/a> <\/em>with Melissa, and when he heard that the Boston Pops were coming to Austin, he asked Melissa whether she\u2019d be on the tour.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe suggested, \u2018let me know if you\u2019re going to be there and we can meet,\u2019\u201d Bonnie says. \u201cI was expecting just come to the stage, say hello, shake her hand, and go back to my seat, but the week of the show she said she was trying to get me a backstage pass.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melissa is happy to summarize her 20+ years playing with the Boston Pops as a great gig, but it\u2019s also a unique outlet for her twin passions of musical performance and education.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s interesting with that orchestra,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt\u2019s much more accessible to people who aren\u2019t familiar with classical music, and that\u2019s been its mission from the beginning. You can get somebody like Bonny, who has been in music as an amateur for much of his life, and he\u2019s exactly the right person to come to a concert like that, because his ears are open and his imagination is fertile.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The program for this tour was a tribute to John Williams, a titan of film scoring and a former conductor of the Pops. From Star Wars<\/em> to Jaws<\/em>, Indiana Jones<\/em> to Jurassic Park<\/em>, Williams\u2019 scores are familiar to much of the world and a valuable point of entry for an aspiring film composer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor Bonny to hear that complex orchestral music and to hear the live orchestra sound totally captured his imagination,\u201d Melissa says. \u201cThere\u2019s just so much color that gets lost when it\u2019s in a recording.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI had never stepped into the stage where the orchestra is set,\u201d Bonny explains, \u201cso that was eye-opening. You know, I\u2019m dealing with samples all the time and it\u2019s very different. You\u2019re kind of in the box. \u2026 I can see how far each thing is from each thing. To see microphone placement, just to understand where everything is sitting in relationship with each other.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds, \u201cyou\u2019re listening to scores on a CD or a stream or whatever, and you can kind of get a sense of what the mix is trying to get you to focus on, but seeing it in-person, you choose what you want to focus on. I\u2019ve heard the score for Jaws<\/em> a million times, and to me that day felt like it was the first time I\u2019d ever heard it. It\u2019s a different experience in-person. Also, the energy of the musicians \u2026 you can\u2019t see that through a speaker.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonny says he is grateful to Melissa for taking the time to make that experience happen for him. \u201cShe\u2019s been an amazing instructor,\u201d he says, \u201cshe\u2019s passionate about teaching.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freshly inspired, Bonny is looking forward to more learning as he works his way towards graduation in the spring of 2021.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve already had to turn down some gigs because I\u2019m trying to prioritize Berklee,\u201d he says.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some days are animation work days, but he\u2019s always more excited to open up his DAW and dig into his coursework. Most of all, he\u2019s proud to be an example to his son by pursuing his dreams.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBerklee was my dream university when I was a music student back in the Dominican Republic. But being in a third world country, there is a lot of red tape that I would have to jump to be able to make it to Berklee in Boston. I\u2019m assuming you have all these international students who share a similar story. This Online option is amazing. For those of us, it feels like it\u2019s an unobtainable dream to get this knowledge from Berklee. Having the option to actually take it online, it feels like you\u2019re accomplishing something you\u2019ve always wanted to do.\u201d
