Re: practicing times
I totally agree with the poster above me. I live music. I practice almost every moment I'm able too, I'm in my school's band room whenever I can be. My life is band, be it jazz, marching, or drumline, or my own music. There are days where I play for 15 hours straight, wake up and do the same thing the next day, ect. But hey, that's me. How much you're willing to practice to better yourself musically is totally your choice. If you want to practice about half an hour a day on each instrument, then practice that much. If you want to practice more, practice more. Just make sure you keep up with what's going on in school and you feel like you're accomplishing what you want to accomplish, the rest of what you do with your time is up to you. You can practice an hour a day and still have time to be with friends, do sports and keep up with school work. No one can really tell you how much YOU need to practice, you need to figure that out for youself but determining how far you really want to go in music. But like the poster above me said, an hour a day is a good starting point to see how you fit into that, and the decide where to go from there. Hope that helps a little anyway...
