You also have no clue.

you will be just fine as long as you don't venture into a form of work that requires you to write ever sort of music. If you are making EDM , you don't need music school.

no really, you have no clue

Thanks for the responses.. maybe it's just me but I really don't know what to make of any of them. In response to RichieV, I went for music business because it's basically like majoring in music and minoring in business, but eliminates part of the business curriculum that would be completely inapplicable to the music industry.

I just know there's no other area I want to study for 4 years, but I know the music industry isn't known for its financial stability.. ehh. Whatever, I guess I could just work at Guitar Center and busk in Chicago on the weekends if nothing else works out

Now days it doesn't really matter what you you to school for, if music is what you like the most, then pursue your dream.

HI,

I have a BA in Music Technology from the London school of music and i have to say it was a waste of time.

I could have learned everything on my own through smaller more defined courses via the internet (and for a lot less cash).

Maybe in a few years the courses will be better but they seem to still be taught by old fuddy duddies who are locked into 48 channel mixing desks and live recording. Their idea of music technology is a AD/DA converter.

My advice, pay for a small, targeted course which specifically teaches that which you wish to learn, degrees are too long, too outdated and non specific and FAR TOO EXPENSIVE !

Their website looks pretty dodgy and the programs are 1 year long. I think it is pretty obvious what kind of education they provide.

I'm doing a degree in music technology at the moment. I did the same course at college before as well. Enjoying it so far. Lots of nice equipment to use which is nice. Not sure what i'll do after though.

RichieV - no idea what site you where looking at but its obviously the wrong one and you cant get a BA over 1 year, its got to be over 3.

This is the course i done.

Probably my fault as i put "london school of music" when its actually "London college of music"

Originally posted by palm theres nothing complicated about music. try study thermodynamics, heattransfer and fluidmechanics instead. thats what im doing atm.

Heat transfer = two words
Fluid mechanics = two words

They'll go over that on your first day of school. Don't sweat it, everyone gets it wrong at first.

A good music eduction will first teach you the rules, and then teach you to break them.
