Almost been playing for a year is this the average for everyone

hi
i have almost been playing for a year now and was wondering if this is good. i don't play any other instrument and had never done any music before i started playing the piano 10 months ago. this is what i have played so far in order of what i played first to the most current; For Elise-Beethovan, Moonlight sonata- beethovan, prelude BWV 846 No.1- Bach, some of Andante sonata K545- Mozart, some of Rondo Alla Turca- Mozart Prelude in e minor Op.No.4- Chopin, some of prelude in D flat Op.28 No.15- Chopin, two part invention no 1- Bach, some o Clair De Lune- Debussy, dance of the sugar plum fairy duet- Tschaikowsky and am going/currently to learn/ing Phantasietanz (Fantasy Dance) Op.124- Schumann and etude in e minor Op.67 No.5- Carl Loeschhorn.
i am not sure if these pieces are good and prior to playing these i half finished an adult learning book ( that got boring) .
i am also up to AMEB grade 4/5 theory
please i am looking for any advice/tips

That is extremely good. I hear it usually takes about 8 months to a year per ABRSM grade level so getting to level 4/5 in a year is phenomenal.

I'm jealous

  That's fantastic! How has the Moonlight been treating you?

Thanks sorry i forgot to say that i have only learnt the first and part of the second movements of the moonlight sonata but i really enjoy playing them they are great pieces

How many hours per day do you practice? Post some videos or mp3s of your playing!

[nataliethepianist]

Well, that's still really good!

thanks  um i don't practice as much as i should but usually around 30 minutes to an hour and a half. its so hard with school work because i don't have all that much time to practice. sometimes i don't get any time at all but i use to practice a lot more. i will put some videos up soon if i can workout how to do it and when i can get my sd card to work. should be soon
