How High Can You Succeed as an Amateur Musician?

The label "professional" is misunderstood across many levels, including music.  While the average professional will be more accomplished than the average amateur, the label isn't about skill itself.  The term "amateur" can apply to musicians who are just getting started as well as those who have been at it for a while but for whom music is more of something to dabble in as time permits.  Then there are the dedicated amateurs, who don't have all the advantages of professionals but do have some advantages of their own, and can have similar musicianship goals.  This episode looks at the pros and cons of each approach and what's actually possible for the dedicated amateur.
