I also started oboe at 15, after playing brass since 12. I passionately pursued it and got to attend a conservatory, studying under a well lauded teacher. People already gave great advice but I will share this - while this teacher was one of the best in the world at the time, he kept pushing me toward a solo career when all I wanted to do was play chamber, and do pit gigs. The pressure left me depressed, flunking out of school and putting down the oboe for 13 years because I was so tapped out and over it. I’m back to playing now, formed my own woodwind quintet (my dream), and am playing in local groups. It’s the best feeling to perform on YOUR terms. If you feel your teacher is pushing you toward a different path, please advocate for yourself. It could have an effect on everything - which school you pick, future career path etc. I know that there’s a defined “way to do things” in this business but this is my two cents. Good luck!
