mr.noisy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hey guys, So, I was thinking about taking some online course. I always wanted to go and learn in music shool but it seems like it's too late. I'm working full time and can't attend normal daily shool like ICMP, and part time courses there are more focused on very basic things and I want to learn way more about playing, theory and all that things. I know there is many materials available to do it on my own, I bought many books, I'm looking from time to time at some youtube lessons etc. I'm not a completely begginer, I've been in a music college for a year and a half few years ago but it was more classical shool and I was playing on the trumpet, I know only the very basics of music theory and now I want expand it, but doing it on my own is sometimes quite hard as I don't know how to organise and manage all the informations... So, as I can't attend to normal daily college I was thinking about starting some online course. Some of them are very expensive like Berklee, some are quite cheap like Institute of Bassists. Anyone has any experience? If yes I'd love to hear your thoughts, do you think it is worth it? Which online music shool would be the best? Or maybe local teacher would be better option? I'd appreciate any suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they have forums but thats not the same as socialising with someone in real life and you wouldn't be able to jam with students from Japan or Australia. You do know that the content will be good though and it will save time of searching through tutors to find someone good. I agree with Jake, have private lessons. Even if it's on Skype, I think Jake offers that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
