Registration for the popular online classes offered by the Berklee College Of Music ends on Monday January 11th. Judging from the number of Hypebot readers that are taking it, there appears to be great interest in Mike King's new Topspin based Online Music Marketing course.
I'll be teaching The Future Of Music And The Music Business online course for Berklee this semester. This course was inspired by Dave Kusak and Gerd Leonhard's seminal book The Future of Music: Manifesto for the Digital Music Revolution, but the material is constantly evolving as the music business changes.
The course preview explains that it “will examine scenarios for the future from the perspective of what is working today and what will work tomorrow. The course will look into the landscape of artists, writers, managers and publishers sitting in the center of an entirely new digital enterprise. It will evaluate traditional promotion and distribution methods and the development of new ones. And, the Future of Music course will take an in depth look into what music fans really want, and how they want to receive it."
I will, of course, also add my own music industry experiences as well as the trends and tools that I write about daily on Hypebot. Other great instructors also sometimes teach the course, but if it's important to you to be in my section, email me (hypebot-at-skylineonline-dot-com) after you register and the wonderful folks at Berklee will make it happen.
