Free Courses

Our goal has always been to make education accessible and affordable, and our first step towards this goal was the release of our Short Courses, How To Write Music and Learn Music Theory.

We hope to bring more educational materials that are totally free of charge to our current catalogue of courses. This is a growing list, and we aim to bring more of these to you in the near future - so stay tuned!

If you’re interested in more in-depth training, please see our short courses here:
