This course is great! The lecturers I have met online so far are brilliant and both are going out of their way for me especially. I couldn't be happier about it, as I have done courses before where the lecturer only did what they had to do to get by. It's refreshing to see that people are just as passionate as me regarding music! It is pushing me toward writing in other genres and making me consider how to utilise software in different ways. - Mathew, online student
