Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park) and Nate Ruess (fun.) are among the musicians to have teamed up with Stanford University to teach online courses. The six week classes are for those who wish to better understand music as a "tool for unlocking creative potential."
Each class will deal with a different aspect of creativity, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.
"All of the projects in this experiential course will deal with some aspect of music, including listening, creating and sharing," the course description reads.
"No musical talent is required -- just an interest in exploring the role that music plays in our lives."
The courses begin on April 2 and is open for registration at the Stanford website.
