If you want to make art, you have to find your own sound, this is time consuming and comes with a long learning curve, you can't do it as easy as playing hobby music.

Simply amazing that the likes of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Berlioz, 
Chopin, Rosini, Paganini, Liszt, Brahms and numerous others (including 
myself) spanning 2 centuries used the same counterpoint "tool"[1] to 
learn and yet somehow managed to develop their own individual style. Of 
course, we look back on history and study the influence such a treatise 
had on their style but I don't think you will find anyone claiming each 
wasn't individual.

A tool is a tool. It doesn't create, hamper or destroy artistry.
