"One of the best things I got out of Rimon is that I transferred most of the core music courses, which allowed me to concentrate on my major here at Berklee and the courses that I'm most interested in. Besides that, I didn't have to take courses such as Counterpoint and Traditional Harmony in a foreign language."
