Cheers, friend! I appreciate your insight on this. I'm switching fields and have been a musician for 30 years. Music has always been my passion and therapy. Going to university makes sense 100%.
I'm from Brazil and I`m planning on going to Australia to study music production... Could you recommend me some courses/universities? Thanks, really enjoy your content!
I used to teach at the Australian Institute of Music and they have a pretty good music production course, but I can't really comment on the other ones because I don't know their course structure! I recommend having a look at the different courses that different universities offer and looking at the units involved in those courses to get an idea of the kinds of stuff you should learn through the course :) Good luck!!
Great video! But do you know about srh university music production in Berlin? Is it good? Or do you know any good university in Europe where I can study music production?
I am a Chinese, although I can't understand your video, but I can translate the comments into Chinese, I feel that I agree with your point of view, can you type the point of view in your video in the comment section? Thank you very much❤
The short answer is that it depends on how you like to learn! If you feel like you need structure and guidance, then going to university is a great idea. Otherwise if you feel like you can learn best by teaching yourself, then you will get along fine without going to university. :)
I can't afford university and I'm old as f**k. Would be nice to have some sort of option. I'm awful at producing but I think its lack of knowledge. I feel all the music people I'm influenced by would have gone to uni or some sort of academy
If you want a structured learning approach but can't afford university then I would recommend taking a good online course. I offer one aimed at beginner-intermediates but there are also plenty of other online courses out there! I recommend finding someone who you like the teaching style of and looking into their options. ☺️
You should NOT go to university for any field where (a) those making money (never mind decent money) are very very few of those doing it (b) almost nobody who is succesful in that field has gone to university to learn their craft. That holds times more for countries where university education is expensive...
This is an incredibly closed-minded view of learning, creative fields and success. Firstly, being good at making money in a creative industry doesn't always translate to being able to teach a subject really well. There are plenty of fantastic musicians who are not great teachers, and personally I'd much rather be taught by someone who is a good teacher and not 'successful' than someone who is 'successful' and not a good teacher. Being a good teacher is a skill in and of its own right that is quite separate from being 'successful'. Secondly, I really don't know where you got the stat that almost nobody who is 'successful' has gone to university. Sure, maybe if you're defining success by being a massive famous touring artist and looking at say the pop and electronic dance music fields, then I can understand where you're coming from, but looking just at those two examples is not really understanding what it means to be 'successful' in the music industry. There are a LOT of film composers, video game composers, audio engineers, etc. who have all gone to university, and all make a full-time living from their craft, which I would define as successful. Sure, university might not have taught them *everything* that they know, but realistically university is only 3-4 years for an undergrad, which simply isn't enough time to be able to learn every single skill. I will agree with you on having to weigh up the cost-benefit of university though, particularly in countries where it is quite expensive. I'm fortunate enough to live in Australia where our student loan system is actually pretty great, but I know this isn't the case so much in different countries.
😂LOL, don't listen to guys like this, make us of the free material, the software is free. Seek actively and like Nike, Just Do It! Don't waste your money and time. Uni is a party.
Like most things, you get out what you put in with university. If you treat it like a party, then you will get a party, but if you treat it like a proper learning experience you can learn a lot! Blanketly saying that uni is a waste of money and time doesn't take into account people's unique circumstances and ways of learning, so it really is a case by case basis. :)
