I Think I Even Managed To Sound Intelligent!

I just finished my phone consultation with the Handsome British Researcher. I had submitted some questions in the past couple of weeks, and he rang me promptly at 12:30. I was very nervous, thinking "I submitted 5 questions, what if they get answered in 15 minutes and then I have nothing to say?". I needn't have worried. My questions were apparently sound, and they led to more discussion of research and also clinical practice. I have 5 pages of notes, and he is sending me a few journal articles by e-mail. HBR also told me that if I get a study designed, and have it looked at by the people he suggested (music therapists who do research, the Educational Board that I will be conducting the study under, etc), he will also be happy to look at the study before it is implemented (after August - he's swamped until then).

Dude, did I just agree to do a study? Am I actually going to get brave and do research? Apparently I am! (how can I not after HBR told me that he thought it was wonderful that I was so motivated?) And I actually have a potential idea for a study floating around in my brain. I just need to clarify it on paper. I guess I'll be doing some in-depth reading of journals (Journal of Music Therapy, Perspectives in Music Therapy, British Journal of Music Therapy, etc) in the months to come.
