The Midi Association (TMA) and NonLinear Educating have collaborated over an extensive series on on-line courses explaining how to get the most out of Midi.

NonLinear Educating (NLE) is both a powerful video-courseware platform and an extensive library of online training courses. ‘Our innovative NLE platform is the perfect marriage of a consumer-facing video e-learning library and a full-featured Learning Management System,’ says NLE publisher, Steve Horelick. ‘We are pleased to partner with the Midi Association to help them educate the world about Midi.’

The Midi Association web site offers 1,728 hours of on-line training on the use of Midi technology in creating music. The core Midi Association curriculum was created by Midi guru Peter Schwartz, and illuminates both the science and art of Midi.

There are also curricula for using Midi technology in all the major DAW platforms and courses on orchestration using Midi. All Midi Association members can preview 180 hours of video courses for free as a membership benefit, as well purchasing individual videos, curricula, or entire library passes at nominal prices. After completing all the courses in a curriculum and passing a test, Midi Association members get a Certificate of Completion.
