Hey everyone. New guy here just looking for some insight from those more experienced than myself. Music and playing has always been a huge part of my life but lost the passion for a while partly due to some poor life choices and partly because I never had the desire to be a performer. Long story short, pursued school/ a career path over the past ten years which left me very little time for music but have recently had my passion ignited again for music and the thought of being able to pursue a creative outlet. I love the thought of being able to have a career that could also serve as an outlet for musical creativity, however, I have a realistic view on careers in music.
I feel like I am behind the curve but have decided to start with just learning some music theory and trying to understand fundamentals. Have been considering pursuing some type of music production program/degree but the investment, especially from some of the more reputable schools, is a bit daunting. I’m not looking to get a degree because I necessarily think it will help me get a job, more because I feel like it will help me learn what I need to learn more quickly than I can DIY. Just trying to make the most informed decision I can before investing in school or in some equipment and DIY route.
Does anybody have any experience with a degree program? Has it been beneficial and would you recommend a degree program or would you choose a different route? Any insight or suggestions from those who have pursued an education or DIY would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
