Level of music education?

So what kind of music education do you producer's have? Who's self taught? Who's done some small courses? Who's done full blown college courses? How much has what you've done helped?

I'm currently pursuing my Bachlers with a double major in music and computer science.

After undergraduate studies, I plan to pursue a masters in Computer Science.

The more I hear, the more I wish I'd done something music related in college. Ah well I suppose my design background is creative. I'd hate to be doing business or something. No offence to anyone doing business, just not for me.

hate to make you guys jealous, but i've been musically trained since i was 5 years old and i play 4 diff instruments, have the equivalent of a college degree in violin, taken 8 different theory courses, and played with many different genres of music from rock, classical, jazz, musicals, and of course electronic ;)

and boy it helps... i have no problem making melodies each time.... however, the thing that i have trouble with is sometimes i put such a high standard on myself that i don't get anywhere with producing...

no formal musical education here. i have an english degree and most of my formal work constitutes essays and textual analysis. ive been playing guitar self taught for 8 years. ive been producing for 1 year, again self taught.

I used to take piano classes when I was younger, I stopped that when I moved. I've been seriously producing for 4-5 months, and I've been self teaching myself piano for 8-9 months now. Damn you all with formal training! :stongue:
