Hey!

My wife alerted me to a site called www.coursera.com that lists TONS of free online courses from colleges all over the USA and I signed up for a 6-week songwriting course that's being given by Pat Pattinson. Find details here: https://www.coursera.org/course/songwriting

I have read one of Pat Pattinson's lyric writing books (as recommended by Taxi) so I figure it will be a good investment of my time.

They have a number of other courses that also look interesting... all free! I also signed up for a Digital Sound Design course.

Anyone else heard about this?

It's Pattison - no "n"

Awesome, thanks for sharing Mark!

Hey Mark, that's funny, there was a recent article in the KC Star about Moocs. I had never heard of them before.

Oops, yeah... Pattison. Sorry for the typo.

Thank you for the nudge on this Mark - I just went to read about it, and have signed up for 'Songwriting' too

I also went the whole hog and signed up for 'Intro to Music Production' too, also from Berklee... like I don't have enough to do !! Still it's only 6 weeks for them both, and they are running at the same time.

Thanks again - living in Ireland I'd never have found out about this opportunity without your heads up

Thanks Mark, I've got a couple of his books, and they are fantastic. Signed up and looking forward to it.

Glad to have been able to draw your attention to this! I'm looking forward to it.

Tony, I also signed up for the "intro to Music Production" - any chance to learn some new tips for free can't be bad!

Thanks for the links. Interesting reading. I'd never heard of this before either. I think it's pretty amazing that these opportunities are out there.

I'm really looking forward to both courses <<- that's me Amanda
I forgot to tell Tony about them, but will in a few mins when he comes in I'm sure he will want to do them too ....

Again thanks for the heads up about them

Amanda
