Skillshare expands catalog of music classes and learning paths with teachers like Valerie Morehouse, Elijah Fox and Taylor Gamble
NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Skillshare™, the world's largest online community for creatives, today announced that Jacob Collier, five-time Grammy Award winning singer, songwriter and instrumentalist, will teach a new class on music composition. Music Fundamentals: Explore & Create Your Unique Sound will dive into the different components that make up sound. From melody to harmony, the class will teach members every step of creating unique music. Collier's class is now available exclusively on Skillshare along with thousands of classes on a variety of creative disciplines.
From growing up with a classically trained violinist as a mother to producing award-winning albums, Jacob Collier has always expressed himself through music. With more than 2.5 million fans across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, Collier will bring Skillshare members a behind-the-scenes look at his unique exploration of music composition with dynamic duets, covers, and original works. Part inspiration and part hands-on practice, Collier's class will further students' understanding of the music they make and the songs they love.
"It was such a brazen and welcome challenge to work with the Skillshare team to distill my perspective on music as a language down to a quantifiable 9-step program," said Collier. "I'm a vast believer in the learning environment Skillshare has cultivated and I'm so excited to share this class with the world!"
