Saying I got a Ph.D. in listening to music is like saying a historian got a Ph.D. in reading stories all day.
In reality, I rarely listen to music as a part of my research. Musicology is a field that requires you to know a little bit about everything if you want to be REALLY good at it. Much of my work involves every bit as much the grit and painstaking dedication required of historians. It also requires that I be good in languages, have a very strong grasp of philosophy and critical theory, and know a little bit about as many fields as possible. If you want more details, I'd be happy to elaborate.
But besides research, I also organize baroque concerts involving the students and faculty, find guest performers and lecturers, and direct the ensembles. Oh, yeah, I'm an experienced performer at the piano, organ, and harpsichord too. I suppose I could be just be really good at "listening to music like a DJ" as you say it. Maybe I should start with my own? You know... the dozens and dozens of recorded hours of music performed and interpreted by ME.
Feel free to call my degree a glorified DJ again. It will just make you look like a ****ing idiot.
Oops! I said ****. I forgot this is serious. I'm educated, I have to be serious all the time. Seriously serious. No rape jokes. Always serious....
