However, musicians don't always need education. Some people who perservere and have the skills to play skip the whole schooling process. They might have taken classes in order to learn how to play, but don't have degrees in music. One thing is true for all musicians. They have to audition. People have to first see if they enjoy the musical talents of the person and if they are a good fit for the job. The importance of education in a music career all depends on the type os musician the person becomes. If they become a music produce for films or television shows, they will need more education then someone who just wants to perform. Performers really depend on their audoence in order to make it big and get paid well.
