I think I agree with you on the genres of music issue. I agree that well-roundedness is really important when it comes to being a musician. You tend to be limited by your weakest area, so it makes sense to bring everything up to par with everything else. I'm trying to study a variety of things on my own, so hopefully I'm still getting most of the benefit sans music school! Hey Eli — thanks for your comment, and good to hear from you.

Classical and jazz are the most technically challengeing genres of music, therefor spending alot of years on those will make you a much better, and more in control musician. The idea of music school, for alot of people, is not to have you come out burning the house down...Its to make you a very well rounded musician and therefor you can make more accurate decisions within your own playing. What a teacher of mine during my breif stint at music school said to me "Most start all their good work (practice) after they graduate. " basically w/ music school you need to throw everything against the wall and see what sticks If you have no insterest in classical or jazz music school probably isnt the place for me.
