Not Long . . .

Well only a month to go now before starting Uni', practice schedule is being ramped up (now a couple of hours a day and gradually increasing) and have continued with background reading on various subjects, music and otherwise.

Books have included . . .

• An Outline of European Musical History
• Becoming an orchestral musician: a guide for aspiring professionals
• The Study Skills Handbook
• Study Skills Connected: Using Technology to Support Your Studies

 . . . and several online documents covering such topics as Powerpoint Presentations; What to Listen for in Rock: A Stylistic Analysis and What to Listen for in Jazz.

Have to say the Study Skills books seemed rather basic, but then again I suppose they are aimed at your 'normal' Uni' students as opposed the the aging old miserable git that is me!

Still haven't seen any timetables for my course as yet on the Hull Uni Portal (although just about everything else is there!) so not sure what sort of hours I'll be looking at just yet - hopefully the background stuff won't interfere with the music making too much, we will have to wait and see.
