It is possible for a teacher to make an evaluation of your skill set at a glance, but that is not to say that you will not improve greatly with a lot of work, and top instruction. And it should certainly be done gently!!!!!
A favorite story was of the Sax great David Sanborn - as a 5th grader he started playing Sax at the request of his Doctor (he had Polio as a child) to make him stronger. His 5th grade band director told him to give it up, as he was not any good - well, he grew up to become David Sanborn.
Ya never really know for sure, just be sure to have a good backup plan. There are too many herds of students going down the path of performance, and not getting a job - there is no "work study. Are you that 1% - maybe, maybe not....
