Dear Bert at 14,006. I know you are undecided about a career in music, but don’t worry about it now. You have plenty of time to decide. However, just because you don’t have to make your mind up now is no reason not to practice and not continue taking lessons. Fourteen is an important stage in your musical development, and developing your musical skills now certainly won‘t get in your way if you decide on another field endeavor. Another thing, to quit studying now would be a slap in the face to your parents, who gave up a lot to provide you with an expensive instrument and give you training with good teachers. Take care.
