  • Then Y is the music SO DISSONANT AND DISTORTED, after they start jumpin and beating the shit outta the pan's, U R totally lost, U cannot understand what the hell's going on, that's what U need a degree to do, make noise??? U don't have to have a degree for that, (Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven who was deaf, Anthony Williams, "Junior" Pouchet, Errol Zephrine, Curtis Pierre, "Rock" Johnston ) etc etc etc, did not have degrees in music, they had instructors... 

    • Right above your reply JJJ is a link posted by Oswald Alexander. Go into it. Put on your head phones and if you find that performance dissonant and distorted go check an ear spacialist.

    • JJJ: If you say anything bad about PANORMAMA MUSIC on this forum you will get in plenty trouble. Trinis love their Panorama music so don't rain on their parade.

  • There is a saying, "You want to Judge me? Judge me at Music Festival not by Panorama",

  • Arranging is also a form of composing and is an art in itself. Having a music degree does not necessarily make you a good arranger.

  • We need to be careful not to go down the wrong road with this thread…clearly education is no more important than creativity…but we cannot want to discourage people from wanting to improve their lot. Again where judges are concerned, having a degree certainly may not even make one a competent arranger but it certainly makes them more suitable to adjudicate given the criteria for a given competition. According to the judge in the music festival back in the 60's…"I cannot lay an egg, but I can tell when one is rotten"….

    • Merrytones I love this "I cannot lay an egg, but I can tell when one is rotten" and I am going to quote your quote one day, when I am sharing with my juniors.

      I would always encourage a musician to improve his skills and tool set...and the ability to read and write music are great tools for a musician to possess.
