Of course you do! Being a singer has its highs and many lows. Things don’t always work out as they should and some might strain their voices to the point where they cannot or should not sing anymore. You should be ready for ANY situation and being prepared by having a “backup plan” will definitely help. Don’t get stuck with being unprepared.

You need good grades in school because 1) getting good grades shows you can work hard for results and 2) you need to be able to make informed, smart judgements about what is offered to you in the music world.

I assume your question is about how a professional singer needs an education. Everyone needs a good education.

There are many, many stories about people in creative fields who attained success and wealth and lost it all through bad judgements. If they are educated, they can understand what is explained to them by accountants, lawyers, bankers and businessmen and have intelligent questioning discussions about their careers.

The more education you have, the easier it is to understand complex issues. And in the entertainment business, there are a lot of complex issues. You can’t rely only on luck.

Of course. You need to have a “musical” vocabulary as well as a math and social back ground to get into the music world and know where you’re headed. If you can’t understand the terms of a contract or smart enough to “play the game” in order to move up in a music career… you’ll never make it.

Singing is a natural talent. You either have it or you don’t. Grades have nothing to do with it. HOWEVER, just because a person has a good or even a great voice should never be an excuse to skimp on their education.

I’m don’t think so, but you should get good grades so you have something to fall back on if singing doesn’t work.
