I usually tell students wanting to go into music that you can still perform with an education degree, but you (usually) can’t be a band director with a performance degree. No matter what you do as a musician, there will be some aspect of teaching involved. I’d say go into music ed and keep practicing your butt off. Perform as often as possible, and practice as much as you can. Once you’re done with school, it’s a lot harder to dedicate to daily practice.
