Ahh the business side of running the business. I hated it so much I quit my business XD If you don't mind doing it or the concert part of things is more than enough to offset then all is well and good but if you're finding it a bit of a grind it might not be the worst idea to hire someone to do the bits you particularly hate if you have the budget for it :)

learning how to write on HIVE has given me so much practice in trying to order my thoughts into a coherent written piece... although, given the state of this particular post... you probably wouldn't know it!

It's fine this is the fun writing XD Important thing is doing it "properly" for the grants and whatever else you need to write properly for right XD

These are definitely NOT skills that we were taught in the music conservatorium...

Well they're teaching you how to play music there right? I only know vaguely what they involve from the descriptions but TAFE has music performance and music production courses (Youngest chose to do performance) and I don't know if production teaches you how to do all that nonsense or if it's literally just the studio stuff, but a unit on specifically that coupled with some business units probably wouldn't hurt as part of the course unless it's the kind of thing that needs a whole thing of its own.

Haha... my grant writing looks like a slightly more formal version of my HIVE writing! It has more complete sentences and more finished thoughts, but otherwise... it is still a touch chatty!

Yeah, the conservatorium does teach music... well, after a fashion... but given that a tiny percentage of students will ever perform, it is critical to teach other skills as well... which they don't bother with. Something about purity of art?

I donno I've never done a pure arts degree XD The one that I did which was technically an arts degree but we did learn some stuff about writing proposals and doing pitches and by the time sibling dearest landed on the same course there were even more practical things involved.

Will be interesting to see how much of this stuff comes up when Youngest starts his music course O_O
