any possible piano future?
on: April 15, 2005, 02:35:37 AM
hey all... i have a quick question
i've been playing the piano for 11 years now ( didn't practice much until the 7th year..and 7-11th i still didn't seriously practice as much as I guess I should've (probably on average...2-7 hours a week )...i've placed 3rd/4th and honorable mentions couple of times (CAPMT and MTAC stuff). I just recently passed the regional panel auditions, then competed at the California M.T.A.C state panel final auditions but wasn't selected (which prompted this topic.)
I've been thinking about all the other kids my age (16) and a lot of them have either won 1st places, or made big time scholarship things, and I'm quite jealous lol. Is it possible for me to have any future in piano? And how much should I be practicing per day to start actually winning/placing better?
current repertoire:
bach- selected aria variations
beethoven- op.110, no.1
mendelssohn- fantasy in f# mi, op.28
szymanowski- Etude Op.4, No.3
I've been ok at competitions...but I really want to start winning and placing higher. Anyone with answers?

Practice, practise, practise!
Serioulsy though. Sit down and determine where you want to go with this. Is it a hobby? Something you want to pursue? Whatever decision you make, just keep doing what makes you happy.
