You made the wrong decision about maths or trombone.

By being very good at one of these and by definition you are innately gifted at the other, but being good at the other doesn’t necessarily translate to thriving at the other. So you should capitalise by selecting the one that brings the most gifts (subject to application) across both skills which allows you to pick your area to soar.

A very good musician is by definition innately good at maths. Music is entirely mathematics, and playing music is the realisation (physics) of the innate ability to understand very complex equations and recognise and translate the emotions maths can invoke.

Somehow it doesn’t work the other way. My Godmother’s husband is a genius mathematician recognised in the field across the discipline worldwide. A few years back I met up with him there was a huge conference with international attendees to recognise his lifetime achievement at the University of Melbourne.

He is this guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodney_Baxter

The dude is one of few that I have met that is entirely tone deaf. So much so that he doesn’t even realise it.

What do you think, Toump Ass ? Accomplished mathematician or accomplished musician? What’s your pick?
Mathematician 100%

At this stage of my life, I'd take anything that could provide an income lol.

Also, while making music is my dearest hobby, I don't think you actually need to be a skilled musician to do it. As a listener, I like things that are kind of wrong, naive, out of key or out of time or whatever, anything broken and ****ed up. Approach, and taste are more important than skill I think. So I don't really have a reason to be a musician. I think if I was going to have an artistic talent I'd like to draw. I'm getting better every day though!

I'd like to change back to maths.
 
Calligraphy I think.

Not that I’ve got anything against honey but I’m nervous (panic-stricken) around bees, wasps, spiders, cockroaches, moths, spitfires, slugs, rhinoceros, tigers, snakes, toads and pinecones.

I can’t hang out washing because Ive convinced myself there is a nest of European wasps in the peg basket

What kind of income are you hoping for as a mathematician? Basic bookkeeping? Government job in finance or treasury? Doing people’s tax returns? Tenured university professor? Small business? Forensic data interrogation? Cryptocurrency trader?

There’re a lot of options.

Interesting.

Toump Ass, your rebuttal.

Nothing wrong with that - and you have to be musical to recognise music as being wrong, naive, out of tune or broken.

Otherwise you would just register noise
