<p>hmmm its a tough situation. i’m in somehwhat of a similar postition. All i can say though is if you really want to. practice! try to get as much practice as possible and see for yourself if its possible. If after a year or two you really see some progress and still want to puruse a mjusical career then continue. pretty much as long as you believe you can do it, then go for it. i have my similar doubts, but so far my passion for music is still slightly stronger than my self doubt. its a really good idea to ask your teacher, develop a good relationship with him or her and ask for an honest opinion from her. but no matter what she says PRACTICE as much as you can. if all else fails then theres always double degrees and music minors. General rule of thumb: if you believe in your talents and you can glue your bumb on your chair and practice, then you have the basis for a successful musical career. some stuff that i;ve said might be a little a little debatable. but listen at your own discretion.</p>
