BerkleeMusic Introduces New Online Courses – Music Production, Music Biz, More

There are a lot of subjects that lend themselves well to online education, and music happens to be one of them.

The newest online courses from Berkleemusic pack a punch.

In that spirit, Berkleemusic, which is the online continuing education division of Berklee College of Music, announced today that they would be offering six new online courses for their upcoming fall term, beginning September 24th.

All courses are college level, 12-week online courses designed to promote a high level of interactivity between instructor and student.

Berkleemusic is expanding on their online music production curriculum with two new production courses: Music Producer: From Pre-Production to Final Audio Master by Stephen Webber, and Audio Fundamentals by Dan Thompson.

The courses will teach students how to properly set up, operate, and manage a recording studio or live sound reinforcement installations of any size, and provide insight into both the art and the profession of music production.

We’re pretty intrigued with Music Cognition, which studies the mental processes underlying musical behaviors. In this course, students will learn about the influence of emotion, environment, cognitive capacity, personality, individual differences, and more on the perception of music. According to Berkleemusic, this understanding will bring new insight to songwriters, music professionals, and to music lovers who want to increase their knowledge of and appreciation for both music and the brain.

In Business Communications and Music Business Leadership and Ethics, students at any stage of their career will learn to build, monitor, and protect their reputation and the reputation of their business, as well as gain an understanding of the ethical considerations and leadership opportunities in the music industry that pertain to a variety of career paths.

And to make sure the focus stays on the music, R&B Vocals will teach students the vocal techniques of R&B greats including Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles. Taught by top industry pros, students will gain the professional skills to sing R&B in an authentic way, including proper phrasing, riffing, shouting, scale patterns, rhythmic articulation and much more.

Berkleemusic now has 150 online music courses and multi-course certificate programs, covering all areas of music education.
