Just wanted to respond to this bit too. I think I have solved the mystery of why I've been misunderstanding you. When you say that a grade qualification cannot be used to get into a music career, you were thinking directly right? Hence you're words "on its own". You were thinking like this: Grade exam ---> Music career = not possible. But I was thinking like this: Grade exam ---> A-Level Music ---> Music degree ---> Possible music career. Do you know what I'm saying?


Yes, that is what I am saying.

The normal adult use of the word qualification is that it allows you to do some type of job, or to join the group of people who are doing that activity.

Thinking of something like a dentist. Most people would prefer to have their teeth looked after by a qualified dentist, rather than someone who has passed the first year of a dentistry course. You have to pass the exam at the end of the 1st year in order to carry on in the 2nd year, but it doesn't qualify you as a dentist, even though it is an exam in dentistry.
