A college degree in music is beneficial to honing the skills needed to be a professional songwriter. A strong grasp of music theory, production and the workings of the music industry will only serve you better in your quest to be a professional songwriter, according to multi-platinum songwriter Andrea Stolpe. You will be able to write better songs and have the skills necessary to network and get your songs into the hands of big-time publishers. Diane Warren, who has written songs for artists like Celine Dion, Meatloaf and Toni Braxton, has no formal music training. She learned how to write songs by studying songs on the radio and got her foot in the door by networking with people she knew. Simply having a degree in music won't get you anywhere. Talent and drive are key to getting your songs to the top. While a degree in songwriting or the music industry is certainly beneficial to getting your songs sung by celebrity singers, it isn't vital. With the right amount of talent, ambition and luck, you can write songs for big-time singers.On One Hand: Yes, To Hone Your Skills
On the Other: No, It Isn't Necessary
