Well what can we say? Turns out that universities are run by the rich who want more more and guess what...more. More power, more wealth Strathclyde uni are proposing cuts, which would see courses in the faculty of humanities and social sciences affected. One of these courses, which has already been axed and the promised replacement course is not being brought in. Music's really helped me with my stammer. Its helped me through the hard times. When I've been the victim of taunts and abuse by mindless and immature bullies, I've always been able to turn to my music. It's something I've been able to do that the bullies have no idea whatsoever about. Its also helped with my breathing. Ive been able to breath better, which in turn has helped my air control. This in turn has heled my stammer as I've been so used to controling my breathing whilst playing, that Im used to doing it.
How many people at the age of 10 know the course they want to do, and know the university that does that course. Seriously, Strathclyde uni are aiming to turn into a science based uni. All be it, science is important, but no experement managed to help me with my stammer. Music has. Its been there. Science has not found a cure for stammering (unfortunatly) but music has been one of the greatest supports I have.
Perhaps the powers that be in the university will see that music, along with the other courses, which are very importabt, are all extremely important in their own right.
