Pete Honeyman gave us a talk on being a professional session musician. It was interesting to here from him how he first got into sessioning and how he built a career. He spent a lot of time talking about importance of musical ability and also character attributes needed to be successful in the sessioning industry. I am very interested in the career path of a session musician and found his points and experience very useful to hear. After hearing what he had to say, I feel like the most important things I need to make sure I develop is exceptional ability on my instrument as well as being a professionally minded and approachable character, who is easy to work with. 

had a talk from an ex school teacher who started her own performing arts school on thursday the 17 sept. It was interesting to here of the trials that had to be overcome in order to set up something that you want to do. i got quite a lot out of the talk and it was inspiring to here from someone who pursued something that they believed in and succeeded.
