The thing is, all those traditions blend together. You can't say much about the last century of music without talking about jazz, rap, breakbeats, et cetera, and formal western education has just barely figured out those exist. You can go deep in what's taught in formal Western theory education, but you'll miss out on a lot, and you won't be able to make sense of most music.
