Peter - IK Multimedia Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 My father told me he was taking one of the other free courses last night. Since he helped me pay to go there (when online college courses didn't exist!) I suppose he should feel good about getting something for free from them. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesse g Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Has anyone taken the free Music Theory course ant Berklee? If so, how was it. https://www.edx.org/school/berkleex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Cakewalk used to be almost across the street from there and the only course I ever saw offered for Cakewalk wasn't free. @jesse g The music theory course was pretty basic but did have some interesting content. The instructor looks the same, so not sure if is the same video files (I took that 10 years ago now). There was a similar one in name offered from a Scottish school that was rather hard core. I forget which company offered that one though (Coursera sounds familiar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGinz Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Berklee also just around the corner from the late, great E. U. Wurlitzer Musical Instruments, possibly the best musical instrument store I’ve ever been in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

user 905133 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the heads up about the 404 warnings. I just checked the two links I posted here when someone reported getting 404 errors. The links I posted still work. On 3/4/2023 at 2:18 PM, User 905133 said: I also got the 404 error. It looks like they have some resources for prospective students: https://online.berklee.edu/free-music-course-resources (account needed) as well as some other promotional and informative resources that are available without an account: https://online.berklee.edu/takenote/podcast/music-is-my-life/. This one also works: https://online.berklee.edu/courses . Edited June 19, 2023 by User 905133 to add another non-404 link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Have all the free courses filled up? Not seeing any, only free samples lessons. What I see is stuff like: 3-Credit Tuition $1,515 Non-Credit Tuition $1,265 which to my eyes means I'll need to pay either $250 or $1,265 to attend.
