Sorry to take this of subject....but funny you should mention the music thing. I was told at school that I was not good enough to play the sax. Seriously though, I wasn't - i was awful!
Your right about the selection process. They do make it clear that just because you dont pass the CTC selection it does not mean that your not suitable to be a pilot. Thats the main thing to bare in mind.
Best of luck with whatever you do in the future.
