For the last 7 years or more, my spare time has been filled with reading text books, writing essays and attending tutorials - not to mention listening to, analysing and writing music as part of my studies with the Open University.
This year it finally paid off as I completed my final module and was able to claim my BA in Humanities with Music, with upper second class honours. Whether or not I use my new qualification in future career moves, I have learned a huge amount about a subject I'm genuinely interested in, I've been exposed to an enormous range of music I wouldn't otherwise have heard and finally, after a lifetime of active musicianship I actually have a degree with the word 'Music' in the title.
Not wanting to miss out on a chance to dress up and drink bubbly, I was happy to attend the degree ceremony at Manchester's Bridgewater Hall. My academic robes were trimmed with light blue and gold, very nice but not a patch on the sparkly gold trimmed robe of the vice chancellor who did a grand job of welcoming each graduate enthusiastically onto the stage for a handshake and a moment of applause to celebrate the achievement. Took a long time to get here but I think it was worth all the effort
