there are people who go to university for several years to study how to compose music and they end up writing awful 12-tone wank so y'know i guess it's all about what you think is good.

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.
