I took the Music Royalty Tax Fundamentals course at Stanmore School of Business to learn more about the tax side of the music industry. The course was pretty cool, and I liked how it covered the basics of royalty tax and then dove deeper into more advanced topics. I appreciated the examples of how different tax laws apply to different types of music royalties, like mechanical royalties and performance royalties. The instructors were okay, but sometimes the explanations were a bit dry. The course materials were decent, but I wished there were more interactive elements, like quizzes or games, to make the learning more engaging. Still, I learned a lot and would recommend the course to others who want to understand music royalty tax.
