I graduated from my undergrad course back in 2005, and recently my tutor, and head of music, got in contact with me to ask if I wanted to be involved in a matsuribayashi workshop (Japanese festival music). I jumped at the chance (it is a once in a lifetime thing). But, he has also asked if I'm willing to either be a section author or co-author for the book that will be produced as a result. The book will be published as one of a series arising from research projects which are a joint effort between my former uni and the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council.
...I want to...but I really don't know what to do. The responsibility is tremendous. If I agree and I'm given the go-ahead I cannot then back out. Plus, I am now suddenly having doubts about my experience and ability... I've only just got my masters, and I've never even attempted something like this.
I guess I just need some advice. From a personal point of few (and a professional one) this is an amazing chance. But, this tutor...I have such a deep respect for him, ...and my uni too. I am well aware that a cockup on my part will negatively affect my uni and my tutor. I couldn't stand it if I let them down.
...help...
