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).

That's Boston, right? 

Does that mean I should start reading your post with a Boston accent in mind, adding remarks like, "wicked smaht post!"  "pissa!" and "yah, no" in my head?

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.

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 .

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.
