How Many Hours Should You Practice the Piano? – The Lines Between Science, Method and Passion

It is a timeless question, a persistent voice in the mind of every pianist: “How many hours must I practice to truly improve?” It springs from a perfectly legitimate desire to measure the commitment required to transform our ambitions into sound, whether that means playing a simple minuet or dreaming of the world’s most prestigious stages.

eMedia Piano and Keyboard Technique
on: February 13, 2005, 04:36:05 PM
I recently completed this CD-ROM and I'm wondering where to go from here. I don't believe there's a second volume in this series and I'm getting no indication from eMedia as to when the next release will be available. I'm an adult beginner with limited time for live instruction, yet I know that my best bet would be to continue with a teacher. Can anyone who is familiar with the material on this CD-ROM recommend a course of study that would be a natural progression, either with or without a teacher? Just to give a little more background on what I've done so far, I've completed every piece in the program and I required of myselft a minimum score of 95% on each piece (I have the MIDI connection form the electronic piano to my laptop). I don't really have any of the pieces memorized, though. I'm aspiring to play classical pieces and I'm quite fond of Chopin and Ravel. Thanks very much.
