Many people had suggested me to you Coursea in the past and I haven’t tried yet. I’m not sure whether it is free or partially free learning all the courses. Have you ever tried it before?
Yeah, I’ve tried Coursera before! Some courses are totally free, but others offer just the basics for free and then you pay for a certificate or full access. It’s definitely worth checking out, though—you can still learn a lot without paying!
Omg, I’ve actually used Coursera before! I didn’t even know they had music industry courses—that sounds amazing! I’m super interested in learning more about music marketing. Do you think it’s better to start with the Music Business Foundations course on Coursera, or would the Berklee one on edX go more in-depth? Also, have you come across any good courses on copyright laws? That’s something I’d love to understand better!
That’s awesome! For music marketing, the Coursera course is a great intro, while Berklee’s on edX goes more in-depth. For copyright laws, Berklee has some good resources, and LinkedIn Learning has a solid course on it too!
