I ask if you survived because the question popped up when >>> my >>> english teacher said he first went to college for music but said that >>> it >>> stripped all the fun out of it for him so he changed his major. If you know music I wouldn't imagine it can much difference to take a formal education or not to. Well, meeting inspiring people at a school could of course be a good thing, if that happens. Myself I have always avoided music schools though. Not for any ideology reason but just because they have seemed so boring (compared to just making music right away). Never understood how you can educate yourself to make music. I didn't need to learn scoring notes either because when I checked out what notations was I found out that I already knew how to do it. Same with scales, chord and theory. It's all in music and if you listen to music you hear all that. More interesting to me then are the emotions that lurk between notes, qualities that are difficult to notate. And it seems those things are more important than anything in both amateur and professional music, so that should be your focus if you intend to work in music. I'm not at all against musical education, I just don't think it makes much difference for your prospering musical abilities. But of course... if you play a certain instrument you will gain several years development time by learning form a person that knows all the tricks of that particular instrument. But can't that be achieved way faster by taking a handful private lessons than going to a school? Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen
