Re: The performance degree...myth or reality?

Is a performance degree essential to being a successful musician? I think we can pretty definitively say "no" and then cite examples. However, given the right circumstances, the pursuit of the degree (not the degree itself) is worth it. A good learning environment provides opportunities that otherwise would not be available to someone trying to achieve a high level of performance and in turn make a living in this field.
