Videos created for the Reid School of Music’s popular Fundamentals of Music Theory MOOC are now being used to benefit undergraduate students coming to the University to study music.

The videos form the basis of a new for-credit course that introduces students to the basics of music theory and notation.  In order to help widen participation and increase students’ skills, the course has adopted a flipped classroom approach with students using the videos as pre-workshop resources to prepare for weekly practical sessions.

Over 30 open-licenced videos

All videos are available to view, download and reuse as Creative Commons licenced OERs from Media Hopper Create:
