Counterpoint[0]: I have a master's degree in composition and I don't play any instruments at a decent level of performance. I would say the requisite skill is knowing how instruments sound, how they sound together, where their limits are, where the golden sounds and techniques can be found, and how to notate all of that so you can reproduce it accurately. If you can read a piece of music and know what it sounds like without needing to hear it played, you'll be fine. And that's also a skill you can learn, just like performance. The rest of composition is experience, artistic vision, and luck, just like every other job. [0] wink |
