but if you're like me, and you've started producing and found that it is what you truly love and wish to pursue, then I STRONGLY suggest taking a "Music for Elementary School Teachers" class.
I thought this class was going to be an easy A, but honestly.. its already taught me a GRIP about the BASICS of music.. stuff that I wasn't even taught in regular school.
Last semester I learned how to READ music, but I didn't learn any pitch identification, nothing about rhythm, nothing about demonstrating your knowledge of music through actual application... By taking this course and learning how to teach music to a person that learns with their ears and eyes (not by reading) I feel like I'm getting more in touch with myself musically. Clapping out beats, singing, just doing the silly stuff you wouldn't normally do in a college classroom.. I'm glad I've got this opportunity to just be a kid when it comes to learning music... it kind of opens your eyes a bit more in regards to what music really is, and how to feel music rather than just see or hear it.
So yea, like I said.. if you're a budding producer like myself and other music classes seem too technical or just plain boring.. take this class if its available. You aren't going to learn anything about synthesis or LFO automation... but it will definitely help you find your own vibe.
Just thought I'd share
