So I have been doing some research on ways to get some type of online music education. I came across a few and apparently there are a few universities and colleges that provide online resources for self learners. So I am going to introduce several to you. First off, I know many of you or just about anyone who uses a computer knows about Wikipedia. So what about Wikiversity? Wikiversity is an online course that provides instruction in musical concepts. Pretty much it provides an introduction to music. It gives you definitions to words that focus on music such as rhythm, melody, dynamics, structure and texture. These are your basic definitions to an intro on music. Because it is a part of wikipedia, anyone is allowed to edit this information. So if you would like to take a look, here's where to go:en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Music/Introduction_to_Music
Moving on from your basics to another step in music, The Open University has a 20 hour duration course at the introductory level on creating musical sounds. In this course you learn the meaning of frequency and the calculations that are involved in fundamental frequency. Understand how different instruments produce the sounds we classify as music and learn how the vibration of sound waves create music.
Berklee College of Music offers a free online course for voice lessons. You can go to www.berkleemusic.com/welcome/free-voice-lesson?pid=2455 and register for voice lessons. You can also find what else Berklee is doing on YouTube.
Ever thought about playing the organ? Brigham Young University offers a free music course on organ performance. It is a 16 lesson assignment to enhance and aid your learning experience on the organ.
Now I don't want to give all my research on online music courses so I'll return later this week with more.
See ya!
By the way I changed my Twitter username back to its original name, so it fits into this blog in a more professional way. So here it is: https://twitter.com/LeybaMonique


Cool stuff. I'll definitely consider giving the Berklee voice lesson a shot (I could definitely use some help in that area! ha)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I can definitely use these resources; I too could use some vocal help ; )
