If your intent is performance, you will not need any additional education. If you plan to teach, you will either need to be certified or a masters degree.

Many computer programmers began their careers as music majors. There is a correlation between the music theory and programming theory. Companies such as Xerox and IBM in the 80s recruited heavily in the field of music for up and coming executives because of this.

So depending upon what you plan to do with the degree, it can prove to be valuable – contrary to what others have already posted.

If you are going into music performance, you better be pretty dang good, ready for 6-8 hrs of daily practice, and going to a great school. I think you’ll figure this out right away, though.

If you mean priceless in the realm of spiritual development, becoming a well-rounded individual, and being a credit to the artist, then yes.

If you’re talking about getting a paying job, then probably no.
