Professionals in the music industry would be beneficiaries of a new-launched online course called ‘Grammy Go’, introduced by the Recording Academy, the world’s biggest network of music experts.
The course is a result of a partnership between the Recording Academy and the learning platform, Coursera. ‘Grammy Go’ is said to have tailor-made courses and includes courses taught by Recording Academy members.
Enrollment has been opened with courses such as “Building Your Audience for Music Professionals,” taught by Joey Harris, an international music/marketing executive, and would also feature other resource persons, including musician Victoria Monet.
“This specialisation will help participants gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to build a strong brand presence and cultivate a devoted audience within the ever-changing music industry,” a statement following the launch said.
Phase two of the partnership would include another course titled: “Music Production: Crafting an Award-Worthy Song,” which aims to “strengthen the technological and audio skills of a music producer” and would be led by experienced Howard University professor and Grammy nominee Carolyn Malachi.
