i'd say it's definitely necessary to write "clever" music, but then there's got to be people who'd disagree with that too haha
those with composition degrees are responsible for a large part of pop music
oh i wasn't saying that composition degrees force you into writing avant garde music, just that you can study this stuff and still make music that doesn't sound good
If you just go through the two pages; Everyone who says that you don't need an education in music later states how beneficial it is and how learning it has improved their own music...
So yes, music education is important for any and all genres.
DEFINITELY NOT NECESSARY
BUT IT CAN BE NICE
