Thanks everyone whos given me experiences or ways to look forward.

I will try to follow up the leads,

Does anyone know anything about the traditional music exams, I've been trying to get hold of their syllabus' but can't track them down on the internet. I think its through London College of Music and Media, but can't find anything on their site.

More experiences of what people learnt/found as students would also be good, I've only been looking from the teacher perspective so far...
