Hi, I am Valentin.
I am new here and I don't know if you have already discussed my question.
I want to ask you guys what do you think about going into a college of music. Some people say that every musician must have a music education otherwise he is not a musician at all. Others say that in such colleges musicians are too far from "the real life", they are beig molded in such a way that they loose their individuality and they all end up playing in a Steve Vai (or whatever) style, which is quite frightening for me because I don't like guitar athletics at all.
Please, tell me yor opinion about that. I need to be aware of the pros and cons for the musical colleges because I plan to have a music related job(I am still not sure what exactly I am going to work)and I am thinking about getting into a college of music.
The world is loaded, it's lit to pop, nobody is gonna stop!
