What a day and what an honour to be awarded an ARAM by my old college. It has been 32 years since I graduated with a Bmus degree and an LRAM (teaching diploma). An ARAM (Associate of the Royal Academy of Music) is really a kind of pat on the back awarded to the college’s past students for excelling (or somehow surviving) in a very tough industry. It is recognition that’s deserved by many I’m sure, but sadly experienced by few. So it’s a great honour to have some acknowledgement of one’s career endeavours. I also caught up with some old friends and had a quick tour of the ever expanding premises. Check out the link for more information about the college
