What We Accomplished Together in #PWYM 1.0
PWYM crew, we’re tickled pink about all the amazing music we made in 1.0. Here’s a smattering of what our community accomplished together:
- 5,232 folks signed up, we formed 132 cohorts of 30-40 learners each
- 1,743 active members in the PWYM G+ community, 24 cohorts formed their own groups on G+
- 1,533 members uploaded photos to their class photo
- Making music, together. The #PWYM SoundCloud group had nearly 30,000 listens, 1,500 favorites, and 550 downloads and 500 comments.
You can find out more tasty bits about the #PWYM in our P2PU Lab Report. Give it a gander and spread it around.
PWYM Presents: Peter Gabriel Edition
We’re happy to announce that the next version of #PWYM is a collaboration with rockstar Peter Gabriel!
Peter Gabriel has graciously licensed his stems for us to learn and play with. We’ll work with two of Peter Gabriel’s famous multi-track recordings - “In Your Eyes” and “Sledgehammer.”
If you didn’t get a chance to finish the course, or you want to take it again to work with Gabriel’s songs, or you want to give back as a mentor to the new crew joining the community, please join us.
PWYM 2.0 starts May 16, but you can signup now: playwithyourmusic.org
We’re Moving!
We loved connecting with you on G+. But we found that some of the conversations and posts would get buried after a bit.
We’ve decided to try Discourse for PWYM 2.0. Check it out!
We’d love for you to join us there & post resources you’ve found recently, or just to drop by and say “Hello.”
We won’t be shutting down the G+ community, but all the buzzzzz will be happening on Discourse from here on out.
Join the P2PU Community
