In the intervening 13 years I have practiced more, and more regularly than as a kid but I also had have breaks enforced by work and other commitments.
There's no option for that answer in the poll. I should be able to make it before age anyway! If you practice an hour a day, then it takes 28 years to get to hours. If you want to reach hours in 10 years, then you're practicing 2 hours and 45 minutes every day of the year.
If you want to give yourself a day off every week then that's 3 hours and 10 minutes all the other days. I've decided that I'll try to continue to improve until I reach age At that point I will do what I can with whatever skills I have, and that'll have to be good enough. So I'm probably about three-quarters of the way to 10, hours, and all but about hours of it has been as an adult.
Subtracting the time when I just played and did not really practice gets me to I think it's an absurd way to put off doing the best each of us can at the moment. I mean, what am I going to do? Say something like, "Well, I'm only at 6, hours, so I'll put off doing anything serious because I'm just not ready. Give me a break, ok? Give me the next hour, let me do the best I can, and we'll see how tomorrow goes on its own merits. This nonsense seems to presume that people can't do anything serious until they put in their sacred number.
Just go for it. Take the risk. See what happens. Creativity and courage are not based on a Boy Scout merit badge. Frankly, I think it's rather lazy and passive to rely on numbers to judge your accomplishment. If it's within you, then take the plunge.
I started making estimates, latest on the 8 febuary was classical guitar 12,, flamenco guitar 2,, viola 11,, violin 10, Any one else made 10, on three instruments? It does not sound as good as it should because I started late and initially had bad teachers.
For what it is worth I agree with my last teacher who said it does not matter how long you practice as well as when you do it you do it properly. But I think we are mixing two things here. One is that with a lot of hours almost everybody can achieve a competent level but stil not everybody.
The other thing is that this 10 has nothing to do with becoming a soloist or indeed a very competent professional, but talent and getting very good teaching are the most to blame for going above competent. So it may be that believing in the 10 rule makes people practise more and believe more in themselves because it implies that anyone can do anything and reach any level, which is in essence a cultural belief.
And i even don't know how many hours a day, as this depends very often of extraviolin topics as: do I have to scrub the floor, prepare a meal paint a window etc And if all those interesting occupations doesn't take to much time, I can play 3, 4 or even 5 hours a day, but I ignore how much, as I stop, restart, think and read as violinist.
The exercise was humbling. Paul Deck: I hope that by the time you're 60, you find that you're still improving. I'm 65 and I'm still improving, just from taking advantage of the opportunities to play that I have. I've had a teacher for the past year and fortunately she has no preconceived notions of what I can and can't accomplish. It's all up to me. Submit Comment. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Deliberate Practice Methods Knowing that mindless repetition will not strengthen your violin ability, there are some tips you can employ to actually make your practicing sessions highly productive. They include: Going slowly—rather than laboring through an entire piece, reduce the tempo and work on deliberately practicing correct smaller sections.
Actually think about how each note should sound, its duration, and how the measure should flow. Recording your practice sessions will help with this.
Focused Times—again, rather than setting a time of one hour, new students should try to remain focused for at least minutes of practice and gradually increase times. The level of concentration you can compel will be your guide, but studies agree that when you practice for longer than two hours per day, the benefits begin to drop off rapidly.
So, keep it to around an hour, to an hour-and-a-half max. Set Achievable Goals at Each Session—A violin practice notebook will help you keep track of exactly what you need to work on during that session. Also, you can include notes about things you discover that work for you. Step Back—sometimes you need to step back from a particular issue. Rather than practice harder, be smarter. Brainstorm for a few days about how you can make the piece sound the way you've envisioned, then retry it with a fresh outlook.
