Just got back from my assessment and was offered a place on a course.
Just thought I'd post to show how chuffed I am over it.
-
Congrats :) I wanted to do something like that but ended up doing the "normal" thing and came to uni instead!
-
Awesome, congrats!
-
Well done!
-
sweet, congratulations :)
-
Congrats ! ( I imagine you may be having a celebration ; perhaps a small glass of beer ? ).
-
Nice one man, I know quite a few people there/going there next year!
Guthrie Govan is teaching there at the moment I think, and a drummer friend of mine had a masterclass with Ghost of a Thousand which I thought was pretty cool.
Enjoy it.
-
Bristol or Brighton branch?
I had a couple of glasses of wine so you aren't too far off, there fourth feline :D
-
I sometimes do a lecture at Brighton BIMM on guitar maintenance (also do ACM)
Nice place!
-
Excellent. I'd love to have done something like that when I was younger.
You'll have to keep the forum up to date with what's going on there.
-
That is great-I am sure you will gain a great deal from it.
-
Well done.
One note of advice from someone who already has a degree in Music (albiet the "traditional" one, as opposed to music performance or whatever it is BIMM awards), MAKE it work for you. Vocationally, it's all but useless, but if you use it to give you several years worth of education on your instrument and for networking then your time spent studying can be great and extremely useful.
-
Exactly my plans.
It looks to be a very intensive course, too so well worth the money I'll have to conjour from somewhere (I'll begin looking for grants and loans on monday.).
-
Well done, have fun :D

Great Advice there nfe
True of anything in life

Best of luck dude!
-
Congratulations. I hope you get what you're looking for out of it.
-
what's a BIMM?
-
Intitute of Modern Music.
(B stands for Brighton/Bristol, depending on which branch you're working at.).
It'll be a good opportunity to finally hook up with some musicians who honestly give a shite about what they're doing.
-
Congrats! Which course have you got a place on? I'm at BIMM Bristol.
-
Well done, good luck with it. :)
-
I'm at Bristol too on the Professional Diploma.
Maybe we could have a jam sometime (at least it would give me a reason to get out the Maverick again as I've been playing my Signature LP copy almost exclusively since I got it.).
-
Sure thing mate, if you have any questions about the place feel free to ask. I'll be on the 3rd year of the BA course when you start btw.
-
Cheers, Nolly. :)

What's the degree you're awarded at the end of your studies, out of interest?
-
Good luck!!

Depends upon how far I intend to go.
The highest award is a doctorate at four years of study and after the first I should receive a Diploma (equivalent to 1st year of a degree), so long as I do adequately well across the boards of study and don't get thrown out for some reason (though I should stress I very much doubt it should come to that).
Second and third year studies are listed as 'BA (hons) 2+3' but I'm not entirely sure what that means besides just being different parts of the degree course.
