Dixon Q asked:


Hi, I am 15 and i am unsure whether or not i should go to a music school for 6th form! I play guitar at grade 6 level, I’ve played for over 7 years, and have taken up piano 2 months ago and i can play grade 7-8 pieces already including Beethoven and Rachmaninov. However, my sight reading of music is poor. Is this enough do you think to make the step into deciding to become a proffessional musician? For any more details, just ask!
