What are your top distractions from piano practice
on: September 27, 2004, 09:44:28 PM
What are your top distractions from piano practice each and every day?

Mine are:
1. Food
2. PS2
3. Wanting to take a 5 min drink break, but turns out I somehow watch a 2 hour long movie showcased on TV
4. Homework
5. Chores ...stupid
6. Washroom break...and not coming back to piano until 5 hours later
7. Coming to Piano Forum and seeing who has posted what.

1. Food - cooking it more than eating it. :-P
2. Homework/teaching (reading is NOT homework, Latin is :P)
3. My family - love them to death!!
4. Chores.
5. Tennis - my second favorite thing. ;)

Homework. I'd say that's the only thing which keeps me away from piano - when I do other things, it's because I wouldn't be playing piano anyway. But when I do homework, I usually find myself wishing a piano were nearby.
"I always make sure that the lid over the keyboard is open before I start to play." --  Artur Schnabel, after being asked for the secret of piano playing.

with me it's the other way around
piano distracts me from doing ANYTHING like homework,tv,college,hanging with my friends etc.

My full-time job, my part-time job, housework, cooking, shopping, TV (sometimes), the beach (in summer) and this forum. :)

The only thing that keeps me from the piano are my irritatingly perpetually asleep housemates. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
