learn*
I was using Masterclass last year. But it was more for writing abd making music, getting inspired. It's fairly expensive.
oh definitely, heard lots about it
do you make any music these days?
I basically never did, just wished.👀 Last year I recorded a song I wrote at 16 and uploaded it on YouTube (because waiting for twenty years for a perfect moment, skill and chance led to pure nothing), once I did vocals for friend's clip, but now with kids it's nothing again. But I'm visiting courses at Prague's rocktheatre and will act in a play in February and sing there in March, so there's that. It's just very tiny bits of art, but it's more about having fun than undergoing any pressure for me now.
Anyway, #Masterclass more pumps me up than anything else. It got me to do something about myself, production quality is very high, I enjoyed it. I'm sure you could find the same stuff on YouTube for free, but here it's well prepared and sorted.
Learn sailing.
There's two free courses, and I have a discount code and advice if you want to go beyond the free ones.
never ever sailed before, and it seems so far from my expertise that i'm considering this as a challenge
Their free courses sold me on the online format.
While in-person practical experience is more important than ANY "certification" (as this site will tell you) there are some things that are easier to grasp when you can "see" things like wind.
my learning style relies less on courses (ie, formalized teaching content) and more on personal research, learning and doing.
the latest new thing I learned was making sourdough bread. In the beginning I read snips of a few books (can recommend if you're interested) watched a few videos, took lots of notes.
most importantly though, I made bread almost everyday. lots and lots of practice. try something, fail. research a bit more. try again, etc.
I guess my point is that actually doing the thing is more important than taking classes on it. hope you find you're next fun thing to learn!
