I am trying to work my way through the ThinkSpace Education courses that I have.

I bought a couple of courses Mastering Orchestral Composition with Spitfire Audio and How to Write Music, but I have also signed up to several other courses that are Free micro courses that appear to be more of an introduction to certain topics to allow you to see whether it is something you are interested in and want to look at the longer courses.

As I said in an earlier post, I am going to start working on the How to Write Music short course, but I thought I would look at the free courses first just to get an idea and go through them at a relatively fast pace. Hopefully I have a good grasp on a lot of the topics included but you can always pick up extra information.

I decided to look at the Getting Started with Music Theory course yesterday and found that it was very good, but definitely an introduction. The course lasted about 30 minutes but was packed with useful information. I am glad that I took the course, and I enjoyed it a lot. As I have mentioned before I love their presentation style.

I thought that I would look at the Foundations of Making Music next and see what I can pick up from that.

I think, given the courses that I have, running through the free courses before moving on to the next short course will be beneficial.

As is usual I need to be careful of just doing courses and not actually implementing anything that I learn. This is one of the areas where I like these courses as they usually also include some exercises and assignments as a taster.
