[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, your list isn’t even accurate. Which music school did Ariana Grande go to?

Lady Gaga started out in classical music. I’ve said repeatedly that classical is different. Not to mention, she didn’t graduate from Tisch.

Freddie Mercury studied graphic design. How did that help him, other than logo work for Queen?

Get your head outside of the box.

They all had some form of classical training not necessarily degrees. The point is they know music theory and no one in the rock music is going to laugh someone out of the room for bringing up music theory.

I come from a family that has professional musicians and married into a family with professional musicians. I’ve spent much of my life hanging out with musicians. You are not even aware that most rock/pop musicians were in high school band. Or took piano lessons. Many never stop studying classical music after they become famous! They hire music teachers because they just love music.

And if you are the numnuts who said if this kid can’t hack it, he could just become a session player you really need to sit this conversation out. Studio session players are top of the league musicians. [/quote]

I never said the kid shouldn’t take music lessons.

The issue was with the necessity of a music college degree.

I am also a musician and come from a family of musicians. My sister is a musicology professor who went to Juilliard. [/quote]

Then why are you being ridiculously rigid?

My point is that knowing music theory is not pointless for rock/pop musicians. You said they were not used in rock and that someone discussing those things would be laughed out of the room.

No they would not. [/quote]

I was responding to someone who said the kid needs a music school degree because that would give him the necessary language. My point is you can learn it outside music school. [/quote]
