I have to agree with Howard. I am a "hobbyist" ... I play well; however, most of the serious players began their musical training quite early and by the time they have reached college are quite proficient and musically embedded.
Don't get me wrong ... if you want to study music and see it as an adjunct profession to something else ... then why not.
As I don't know you personally ... I am not sure of your inherent built in abilities. Some people are more wired for music than others.... sight singing, dictation, composition, etc....................... so its just not playing the instrument.
Furthermore, there are many highly talented and skilled players out there.
As for me when I retire full time .... I most probably will go back to school for a music degree ... however, I already have two graduate degrees and a doctorate in other professions.
One must be realistic about ones position ..... and abilities.
