Hi, Guys! ​

This is a step-by-step, guide to Free Premium subscription to LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com). Basically, this is a 3-months free Premium subscription. Later, in this guide, we will learn how we may get another new subscription once it has expired.

Before we begin, here are some links, in case you need to sneak peek at what it has to offers on audio and music subjects:
Preview 1 — Individual topics and courses.
Preview 2 — Sequenced courses designed for specializations.
Preview 3 — Sequenced courses designed for specializations (more)

You may also find that there are other non-related audio and music courses to learn from there. Perhaps, also look for courses on individual personal skills, how to business marketing, health care, and so on. Hopefully, we'll find something new there to learn and build upon. Alright, let's get started.
