I would say music education is the clear choice. Music performance
would make you an extraordinary player, but education is an entirely
different entity. Sure, you have to be a great performer -- the last
band director at our school was a virtuoso on trumpet, but had no
teaching skills. Music education will not only teach you skills, but
how to teach.
