You live the dream! When I was little, I didn’t know how hard it was. I don’t know what I thought. It seemed I wasn’t allowed, though I was able to show interest early on. I sorta had bad luck or an unfair life. So, I would imagine it was not too late that young and that it was the nature of professionals to have a long time to learn one performance. I figured it wasn’t very popular and so there would be little competition.
I see you were warned, too.
My 2 cents is, since I am sticking with violin starting at age 29, that do it if you like it. You can always try until you’re satisfied? You know, you can get another job, though it may not be what you wanted.
Also, I imagine, if you have a real love and ability, you will develop in some outlet, like church, community orchestra, or something else lucky if you’re rather good, like weddings, special small events, etc.

Yes.
I was admitted to Rhodes and noticed you could start as a beginner. Same with Rollins where I live, the big private school in Orlando.
I switched from piano to violin, and I know I can get into the Bachelor of Arts program more easily than the Bachelor of Music program. The Bachelor of Arts has more general studies and less music. That is the program you get in if you never played, at some schools. The Bachelor of Music has more music classes and less General Studies classes. Also, I know at least before music majors play a secondary instrument and I’ve heard become a proficient professional, like one organ major who toured as a harpist for “The Sound of Music” and even got in harp by accident thinking it was harpsichord, which was full.
So, some private schools offer this as well as I think some or most community colleges. Some don’t, and it takes a little effort to find out. I have to look at schools for less advanced players, as I was saying, probably.
A funny story I got in organ without auditioning and this is possible at some conservatories or schools I think. The teacher wasn’t available for auditions and I did a piano audition.
I saw talk about Music Education here. I actually did it and also into performance. I took singing without passing an audition as the catalog seemed to allow, but they removed me at the end of the year. My only hope was Organ Performance or something. I originally wanted to do Composition and singing.
