True. I would never claim that getting a music degree makes you automatically better, but it does force you to learn some things about music that you might never have realized otherwise. I only took one semester of music because I couldn't afford a 2nd degree, but I am thankful for what I learned. It really helps you gain a better understanding of the heart of what a good melody is, and how to make your songs work. A good musician should always strive to actually know more about music, whether in school or not.
