Studying Music Online

[Orengery]

Hey guys, do you know any good resources for studying music online? I mean general music - not specifically bass: music theory, the history of music, the science of music, etc.

The Internet is full of the "stuff" you asked about. Most of it is in bits and pieces and you are left to put the pieces together. This section starts off with a music theory and a how to get started sticky I suggest you start there. In case you missed it; General Instruction [BG]

Well I do know my basic music theory, but I want to dig deeper into the music studies.

We don't know what you know already, so how can we tell steer you toward what you need to learn next?

The best resources are people, so my advice is to find people who are experts in the skills you want to learn.

And the best thing to musically study is music, so find some music you love and study the **** out of it!

When you say "looking" can you describe your search process? If you are completely striking out finding educational musical resources, maybe you need to change/expand your search process? Have you tried, for example, asking your Facebook friends if they know any good music schools or teachers? You are looking at 4+ years of daily study to master all those concepts, so choose your schools/teachers/books/CDs/DVDs/websites/resources wisely! Do you know anyone in your life who is a musical master? Buy them a cup of coffee and spend an hour asking questions, like how did they get so good, what was their musical journey? Master musicians love to share their knowledge with curious and motivated learners.

This is so obvious it feels weird, but Berklee College of Music has a whole online curriculum. Check it out here: Berklee Online Other institutions likely do as well.
