About the Course

Creativity & Entrepreneurship will help you tap into your inner creativity and learn how to leverage it for career development or business innovation. Presented by Berklee Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship founder Panos Panay, this course features interviews with world renown entrepreneurs, innovators, songwriters, producers, creative directors, educators, performers, visual artists and chefs as they discuss parallels between the creative and entrepreneurial journeys. The course approaches entrepreneurship as a creative process, a fundamental human instinct that we all possess and can unlock. Creativity & Entrepreneurship applies concepts from the creative and musical creation process, such as observing, prototyping, iterating and embracing failure, as a means of guiding you through the concept of thinking like a startup. You will develop the basic mindset, knowledge, and insights required to pursue an entrepreneurial career, whether as the steward of your own career or as the founder of a new business in any field. Creativity & Entrepreneurship is about the side of entrepreneurship you won’t learn at a business school but, instead, in the music studio. What you'll learn: How to approach your career or startup as if learning a musical instrument Why entrepreneurship, like creativity, is something we all possess How to apply “the musician mindset” as means to collaboration and creative problem solving Why songwriting is a perfect parallel to career and product development Why there’s more to entrepreneurship than business plans and spreadsheets much like there’s more to music than scales and lead sheets...

Sorry but this is not a course. I learned a lot about copyright law, promoters, agencies and labels with John P. Kellogg and E. Michael Harrington. They teach many of the basics when you are starting in the music industry. Leah Waldo show us the creation of your image as an artists, social media and some other stuff. But this last course in the Music Business specialization is not other thing but a motivational speech. About subjects that you learn probably in high school or university: "you can learn from failure", "you have to keep trying", "you have to found something that makes you special", etc. More than a course is a TED Talk about entrepreneurship and a very basic one.

Introduction of general idea of internal obstacles and dealing with failure are ok, but in this case not to many words about solutions, about big failures and any kind of repercussions afterwards, such as dealing with depression and long stuck. The course is interesting as a very introductory point, but I would love to see some interviews with psychologists and with some entrepreneurs who experienced great failure and they coped with it afterwards. What gave them the power to go further.

Excellent course! It gives you all sorts of tips on creativity and "life skills" that you can apply with whatever you are working on. They interview some amazing people and give you a lot of fantastic, actionable advice. One of the really nice things about this course in particular compared with other Berklee options, is that you can complete the course assignments regardless of what your job is. Some of the other courses (both on Coursera and Berklee Online) can't be completed unless you are in a band or a performing musician, because the assignments require you to provide information about your band. If you've had that issue with completion of some of the other courses, don't worry, this one doesn't require you to have a band.

Panos Panay, the Course Author for Berklee Online, has put together a incredibly insightful course with an amazing line-up of 'Entrepreneurial Guests' from diverse fields, giving real-world accounts and advice based on their successes and failures. Their resumes alone (including Panos') can fill a whole page; "...a can of 'wow, I am truly impressed' that they are part of the course!" "Thanks Panos! Thank you to the guest speakers, Berklee, Cousera and everyone that worked on this to bring it together!" - Evan McNeeley (New Certificate Holder - Berklee's Music Business Specialization, four courses completed) The Specialization is a true journey in the world of the Music Industry!

I love it. The videos were short but full of really informative content and not boring at all.

Very insightful. I already have a bit of background on entrepreneurship but it was interesting to have it be compared to the arts, especially music and performance. The teachers & speakers were amazing!
