Well, here's a shocker for ya : Arnold Jacobs (principle tubist in the CSO for too long) started out as a piano major and when he auditioned at Curtis, they wouldn't accept him on piano. So he played the sousaphone, an instrument which he had just picked up, for the audition and he was accepted. Now, personally, I don't think he was a great player, despite his knowledge of the human body, but if he could do it, then by God, you can do it! Try getting some professional help right away to make you a solid player and good luck. -Aubrey
