For those of you who play musical instruments

[Ultimate]

I was just wondering, for those of you who play musical instruments, how much time do you spend practicing? I spend around 0-30 minutes a day practicing lesson pieces. Pieces that I like though, I can play for hours a day.

Also, I estimated about how many hours of my life I wasted playing games last year...and the answer shocked me...say you play an average 2 hours each day. That is one month in the past year wasted on games. What if I had played piano for those 730 hours instead of playing games? I would be so much better...if only.

Anyway, I would like to learn the stick, but I don't have enough money. My father says if I can save up to half of the one I want (about $1,500), he will double up the cash so I can buy it.

I don't know how to delete topics, so I just changed the topic xD

While I do know how to play quite a few instruments (saxophone and piano being the major ones), I really don't practice at all anymore. S'pose the easiness of making good quality midis just kind of stuck, that it could sound so much better compared to if I attempted playing several tracks on the Yamaha keyboard for the same song.

Wow, the stick looks awesome! I have a feeling that within a time frame of maybe 100 or so years, the stick will become very popular.

Yep. Hehe, that's why I want a graphite 10-string.

:/ My mom was going to get me an electric guitar (Always wanted to learn that. _Always_) after my exams are finished. THEN she says when I get my results, which is almost at the end of my time off before I start going to whatever I'm going to after (College/Sixth form..)

So I have weeks and weeks of doing nothing whatsoever instead of learning how to play. :<

I can play instruments well, but...

I would rather discuss than play them.

I play the Trombone. I don't practice. Period.

I picked up an electric guitar a few years back, gradually learning to play (in the loosest sense of the word) via internet guitar tabs, starting of with easy yet recognizable classics such as "Smoke On The Water" and gradually working my way up from there. Its generally now serves as more of a casual stress relief/boredom killer thing rather than a religous practice for 4 hours everyday thing, but I enjoy it.

I play the Keyboard. Technically, it's a Piano, but I use it on SoundTRK the most. Because it's awesome.
