 Shoul my son quit piano to concentrate in oboe?

Hi,

I need help. My 12years old son has been playing piano since 6years old and also has been playing oboe about 18months. His piano is quite advanced intermediate level. His on level 7 on Certificate of Merit, MTAC. He is planning to go onto level8 next year. His oboe has been progressing well and sound getting matured and beautiful. He loves Oboe more than playing piano. He is on San jose Youth Symphony intermediate level orchestra. He loves oboe but still like to play piano and wants to go up to Certificate of Merit level 10. The problem is that He is in 6th grade now with more homework. It is getting harder to practice both piano and oboe everyday. I want him to practice more oboe as he has lots of music to practice for his orchestra and also for oboe recital but it is hard to stop piano after playing for 6years at level 7. Then, what good is to pass Certificate of Merit level 10 if he is going to continue play oboe eventually? I asked oboe teacher whether he should quit piano to focus more on oboe but she would not give me definite answer. I don't know what to do. Should he continue to go on with both piano and oboe? Or should he stop piano and focus on oboe for more practice time in order to progress faster?

Thank you for your answers.
