Music & Recording Technology
If you have a passion for a subject, learning something new about it is always a pleasure.
Whatever that subject is, however, everyone is at their own point on the learning curve. Me too….. despite my background in both teaching and music tech journalism (maybe because of it?), I still see myself as a student of the music creation, music recording and music technology world. I’m inspired by some of the brilliant individuals and companies that inhabit that world, and I get a kick out of learning something new from them every day….
However, I also get a kick out of sharing those things I have learned so far (or maybe ‘think’ I’ve learned; knowledge is a moving target!)…. and maybe some of that can help others along the way on their own journey of discovery?
Hence the courses….. so, if any of the options shown here – all of which are hosted on the excellent Udemy online teaching platform – look like they might suit you, then just follow the links to explore the details….
