Several PG'ers tout the skills listed as topics in this course. I'm signed up and looking forward to it. So far, I've taken 3 of the Berklee music courses and they have all been outstanding in different ways.

I think I actually have some of the skills listed as topics in this course, but it will be interesting to have them taught outright.

The other courses I've taken have been worth a few hundred dollars each in terms of how they have opened my eyes and changed my methods in songwriting, performance and recording.

Also, again thanks to Noel96 who first pointed out the brilliance of Pat Pattison on this forum - Pat teaches the excellent free songwriting course from Berklee/Coursera.

Says there is a $39 fee...probably worth it though.

From what I can tell, the $39 is in case you want the certificate. Is the certificate good for anything, who knows? All of the other free Berklee courses through Coursera have been similar, participate in the course for free, pay for the certificate program if you like.

Hi Scott. I am enrolled. Looking forward to it!

I am enrolled, but due to a family illness, I likely won't be able to invest large chunks of time into this one.
