If I heard someone play trumpet badly and I knew they had a 7th degree blackbelt, I'd tell them they were superb.
Wise man say "It is much easier to play with teeth in head, than in glass next to bed".
My dad failed recorder in college (couldn't play Mary had a small woolly mammal). He took up the Euphonium at 45 when we all joined a brass band. In 1988, when he retired, he was awarded Citizen of the year as part of the Australia Day presentations for 'Significant Contribution to Music Education' after learning to conduct and running and organising Concert Band programs that 100's of children benefitted from. And he was tone deaf. With your early interest, you'll just kill it. Good luck. Life begins at 40. It's just that anyone younger than that fails to realise it.
