I want to become a full-time professional piano player, much to the dismay of my parents who otherwise want me to take up a corporate career. I want help and wish to learn the nuances of being a pro musician so that I can mange my career in music professionally and earn a decent living out of it.:mad:

That's really a great wish. Hope u will soon head into your career and make some real good work. But I can suggest u a thing, there is a music community which is hoping to make music a little less disposable. Actually it is a blog which is mostly music analysis, editorials, and commentary with a humorous tilt. If u wanna check it u can go here..

Hi there,
This thread is familiar! :-)
The routes to a serious professional life as a musician are very different depending upon the style you play. What's your style? Are you classical, Jazz, Pop, all of the above??
I've said it before but it's highly dependent upon your aural ability.
Learn everything you can about harmony and technique then forget it all and just listen and play.
Gig as much as you can-it really doesn't matter what you do, don't be precious about it unless you're trying to be a fashionable "musician".
Gigging gives you a very different experience which you can't get from any amount of practise.
Give a bit more info about yourself and I'll be happy to give more specific advice.
All the best
