[Smt-talk] Online music courses?

[Robert Samuels]

Colleagues interested in this topic may like to look at our 
introduction to music theory module. It is open to all free of 
charge, and we recommend it to students who come to study with us but 
have no formal music education experience:

The undergraduate and postgraduate modules we offer also have 
significant online components, as part of a blended tuition strategy 
using print materials and tutor-led interaction.
