What an outstanding way to present the issue! As someone "schooled" in music, I have to say that the courses in theory and all of that were somewhat interesting, but were never designed around student goals. The main thing that I've discussed with fellow alumni (over 30 years later) is the CREATIVE ENVIRONMENT of the place. The FREEDOM that we had to spend most of the time on our art, improving one another through critique, and most of all being in a COMMUNITY of artists, where we finally fit in.
excellent piece
