Music is a man-made art. Just the act of making music is to conform to musical form/structure, comfortable progressions, conventional melodies & harmonies.

Suggesting the OP just "make stuff up that sounds good to you" is stunningly handicapping. One can only create from one's own understanding. If you don't understand what music is, you can't create anything that can be called music.

Knowledge is never wasted. Do you tell your kids to not bother learning grammar and vocabulary, that they can learn to speak and commuicate better by being creative and making up their own language? I wonder how you'd feel if your doctor felt this way concerning his area of expertise?
