Berklee Online, the worldwide provider of Berklee's renowned music curriculum, announces the launch of Fundamentos de Producci n musical para compositores, its first 12-week online Spanish-language course. A translated and culturally adapted version of Music Production Fundamentals for Songwriters, the course is designed to make a Berklee education more accessible to Spanish-speaking musicians.

Being Latino myself, having had the opportunity to travel the world and work with a diverse range of musicians, especially in the Latin culture, I've seen how they revere Berklee, says Rodney Alejandro, Dean of Professional Writing and Music Technology at Berklee College of Music, and one of the leaders shaping the course. So my idea was, We have this amazing content, we have amazing people working on the team, why don't we translate this?'

Latin music continues to surge in the US. It jumped to $1.4 billion in revenue in 2024 (8.1 percent of the total recorded music market), and is growing faster than the music industry overall, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl LX halftime show and Karol G closing out the final night of Coachella 2026 (both firsts for Latin artists) are just two examples.

We know there's a vibrant community of Spanish-speaking musicians who want the same high-quality, practical training Berklee Online provides, and this is one way we can better serve them, says Michael Moyes, Berklee Online's COO and Associate Vice President of Enrollment Strategy and Marketing.

Alejandro emphasizes that the course goes beyond just a translation of the English-language version, using culturally relevant idioms, examples, and references.

I think the more we make it relatable, the better it will be, he says.

Fundamentos de producci n musical para compositores is open for enrollment now. Its first semester begins in January. To learn more, visit https://online.berklee.edu/es/courses/music-production-fundamentals-for-songwriters.
