I might +1 this post. Although musical studies are boooooooooooring, music's better to learn the hard way (e.g. putting a note on your school's noteboard asking for 3 musical partners, doing a debut album with a naked kid on the cover, playing Red Rocks Amphiteathre and become the biggest band in the world by doing an album with a tree on the cover. FOR EXAMPLE).
