 Since I see an infinite amount of interesting posts and comments every day, i wonder how many hours a day people spend on Piano Street. Then I wonder, how many hours a day to these people actually practice piano.

So basically my question to you all is this:
How many hours do you practice piano a day?
How many hours do you surf piano street a day?
What do you for the rest of the day?


just curious  :)

Hey, I own 100% of the vote now. Cool.

I practice 3-5 hours a day.

I surf PF about a half hour every other day.

The rest of my day is schoolwork, sleep, analyzing scores, and composing. I might be what you call "without a life".

I work.  It gives me the freedom to choose to go back and work some more so I have money to buy food and things like that to live off of so I can go back to work to make money to survive so I can go back to work.... :D

Yes, I can spend more time on here.  It's an energy issue for me.  And it depends on what you call practicing.  But yes, I can spend more time sitting on this site than actual real practice.  I haven't figured it out yet.  My body doesn't feel right after a day of work or in the morning sometimes.  When I practice I get tight forearms which is not a good sign I think.  I think eventually I will work things out though.  And yes it does suck.

i only come on here after 9 o'clock when i'm generally too tired to practise effectively.

On the average school night i would practice between 1.5-3.5 hours, and spend around an hour and a half on the computer, though that includes doing other things as well as browsing the forum.

When I first joined pianoforum ate into a little of my practice time, because i was overwhelmed with what i was reading, i couldn't stop, but since then I've realised its no substitute for the real thing (unless you're having a very bad day at the keyboard  ::))
