I was curious how many major hardstyle artists have degrees in e-music? I have been considering going back to school, but not sure if it's worth it or not. Do you think it is a necessity for the professional artist or just a nice thing to have but more artists are self taught?
I'm moving to NL next year and I'm really interested in going to coservatorium haarlem. But it is a 4 year school.
I made the mistake of wasting my time going to a 4 year university already and I'm not using that degree. I really want to pursue my career in the music industry. I'm thinking about going to a school right now in US that's only a year long program.
How many artists have music degrees?

Don't quote me on this, but as far as I know, it's not a necessity at all. Most are self taught. Or at least, that's as far as my knowledge goes. If you would like to go to a music school in NL, you should try the Herman Brood Academie in Utrecht. It's very electronic music focussed too. For example Martin Garrix went to there, and many many more. (also various Hardstyle producers).
I heard that headhunterz went to school, that where he met and became duo with the heavy d tuners. I might just take a short program thats under a year here in the states before i move. I just really need to up my skill level with mixing and sound design. I find myself using samples too often. Thanks for the replies!
4 years spend in school for producing hardstyle, i honestly think is overkill. With todays tools online for teaching, you can be more than self taught within a year or two. In the very end its also very important to remember the creative part of music. Making clean mixes will get you some of the way for co-producing - but its the melody and theme writing that you need to have in hand/head.
Using samples aint that bad, but you need to learn to manipulate them, change theme - and again be creative..
