If you really want to do it, go ahead as this is your passion.
Are you able to take hardship? Are you able to accept that you will most probably remain a pauper, but still pursue music for the love.
How much money your parents have? Can they give you some money to tide over? Do they need you to support them?
If you can take hardship and your family doesn't need your help to support them and you love music, yes for it.

Thanks for your advice....
The issue is, my parents don't want me studying music because, like what you said, they don't think I can make money from it. They can support me for the time being, but the issue is that I might not be able to support them (and myself) when I grow older.
On the other hand, what's the point in studying an employable subject (like Medicine) if you have absolutely no interest in it either? That won't last. So the issue is managing to reconcile these two things - interest vs salary, which I am having trouble with at the moment.
