In this new article from MusicThinkTank, Lucas Cappel explores the issue of formal education in the music industry, and what value it has to musicians in the industry.
“The process of making music is very important but complicated. Schools help you understand the musical notes, tempo, melody, rhythm, etc. Learning about all these helps you advance your understanding of the music structure and composition.
