Courses

As a chronically ill musician, there are often barriers to advancing in the industry. While I have had the opportunity to engage in some really cool ventures and be part of the live music community in small doses, consistency is key, and for me it is also a physical impossibility. That doesn't mean that I have to stay stagnant though! 

While pursuing a master's degree was always the dream (or even further), it is not an option financially (even with the multitude of scholarships that I could apply for). It is also physically impossible for conventional on-site classes, and doesn't make much financial sense, so that dream has dwindled (unless, you know, the lottery...). Furthering post-secondary education has always been an investment in one's future, and while I would love to gain more knowledge and the designations to match it, it will not change my body's inability to work and provide any kind of return on that investment. 

Fortunately enough for me, though, is that there are much more attainable resources to gaining knowledge without costing an absolute fortune. 

I just finished a course through Udemy that has given me a much better understanding of the complexities of music production and mixing. I found the instructor highly knowledgeable and thorough, and I look forward to taking more classes on a variety of topics, with music being at the forefront, and hope to use these new skills on my own personal projects.

I love My Musical Life!
