Yes, but it can't be raised further at all. Still, it's one of the few cases where a class-change can be beneficial, as instruments aren't restricted by class. Generally this is only done after the Music skill is nearly maxed out, allowing access to all the instruments. If you do it sooner, you'll miss out on the late-game instruments, some of which are extremely good. The Bard is an amazing class from beginning to end.Also keep in mind that class changing generally sucks, as a class changed character starts with the new class at level 1, but with the XP requirements of their real level.
Hmm...I didn't know that last part. Still, I guess it will be worth it to develop a Priest and a Bard quickly, and later change them to more combat focused classes. I assume the Bard can still use the Music skill after class changing?
As for the Priest, he won't make a good physical fighter as he'll have pitiful HP and unoptimised stats. If made into a Bishop, he'll start training in the other schools from scratch, so he'll be lagging way behind everyone else in the party, as well as the level of enemies you're likely to be facing at that point. You'll never get access to the high-level spells in other schools. If you wanted a healer who can also do attack magic, starting out as a two-school Bishop is much better and won't lag behind nearly as much, if at all.
Also worth noting is that the Valkyrie is a very decent caster in her own right, as buffs and healing are often cast outside of combat and can be allowed to fizzle, which means that Divinity is much easier to level than the other schools for a hybrid. Valkyries are also good enough fighters that you can spend all their skill points on magic and leave the physical skills to level by use.
