The California Private School Stanford University has partnered with Warner Music for an upcoming online course:
Stanford University is bringing Warner Music Group’s stars from the concert hall to the (online) lecture hall.
The California private school has teamed up with the music company for a free online course that will teach creative problem solving to anyone who wants to sign up.
The six-week class will feature appearances from Warner Music’s artists, including Josh Groban, Jason Mraz, Tegan and Sara, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda and Fun.’s Nate Ruess.
Stanford and Warner Music will officially announce the class Thursday.
According to its webpage, the course will use music as a “tool for unlocking creative potential,” and each session will focus on a different aspect of creativity. It’s not necessarily for musicians.“All of the projects in this experiential course will deal with some aspect of music, including listening, creating and sharing,” the course description reads. “No musical talent is required — just an interest in exploring the role that music plays in our lives.”
The course, dubbed “Creativity: Music to My Ears,” begins on April 2 and is open for registration through Stanford’s website. It includes a series of weekly projects that should take around five hours to complete.
