Clueless but Committed - My Music Masters' Journey

Hi, I'm Abby. I've recently started a Music Masters in Composition at Cardiff University, having absolutely no prior experience in music education. With my girlfriend, Katie, by my side to share her insights as a classically trained musician, we chat about everything from imposter syndrome to managing finances, leading an A Cappella group, and general music shenanigans. Listen to us embark on a journey as together, we reflect on the lessons learned, the hurdles overcome, and the joy of embracing new opportunities. Whether you're a fellow musician, or just curious about the world of postgraduate study, this podcast offers an honest, lighthearted, and relatable glimpse into finding your way in music.

    Coda: Lessons Learned and What's Next

    In our final episode, Katie and I reflect on the highs and lows of my music journey so far. We talk about the lessons I've learned - not just in music, but in life - and what I'm hoping for as I look ahead. It's a mix of gratitude, excitement, and a bit of uncertainty, but that's all part of the adventure!

    The Tempo of Life: Balancing Work and Music

    From running the DeciBelles to managing two jobs, coursework, and everyday life, I've been learning how to keep up with the tempo of it all. Katie and I chat about the challenges of staying balanced, prioritising what matters, and finding time for creativity amidst the chaos.

    Theory in Practice: Playing Catch-Up

    Starting from scratch in a room full of experienced musicians can be daunting. We laugh (and commiserate) about my journey of catching up with music theory, how my self-taught background has both helped and hindered me, and the tips and resources I've found along the way. This one's for anyone who's ever felt out of their depth!

    Finding Harmony: Finances, Leadership and Maintaining Balance

    Life as a master's student is a balancing act, and this episode is all about how I'm making it work. Katie and I talk honestly about juggling tight finances, the pressures of leadership in my A Cappella group, and how I'm learning to manage everything without burning out (too much). It's all about finding your harmony (pun completely intended).

    A New Key: Imposter Syndrome and Fresh Starts

    Katie and I dive into what it's like starting a music master's program when you don't come from a traditional background. We chat about the moments of self-doubt, battling imposter syndrome, and the unexpected joys of taking that leap. It's a look at fresh starts, finding your footing, and learning to embrace the journey.
