I have to agree. Though I actually have a (very basic) degree in music and piano, I started to play by just hearing songs and figuring out how to play them without any tutelage. I also learned how to accompany* all by myself. When I got to the point in my studies when it was supposed to be taught, I had already mastered the basics, so my teacher took me aside from the rest of the group and tailored lessons fit to my level. But having the theory just makes it easier to (of course) read sheet music and compose (or at least write down your own music). I see music theory as a strength, but not a necessity to make awesome music or being able to be technically proficient.

*Is that the English word for it, when you do not play solo, but sort of staying in the background, just helping another musician enhance their playing, by playing chords instead of the melody?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
