I found the Certificate in Music Licensing and Monetization course to be quite informative and helpful in achieving my learning goals. As a musician from Japan, I was interested in learning more about the global music licensing landscape. The course provided a solid foundation in the basics of music licensing, including the different types of licenses and how to negotiate contracts. I appreciated the case studies and examples from the European music industry - it was fascinating to see how different regions approach music licensing. While some of the course materials could be improved, overall I'm satisfied with the course and would recommend it to others looking to break into the music industry.
