did you play musical instrument for many hour every day?

[her34]

what instrument? how many hours? for how many years?

how did you feel about it then? how do you feel about it now? do you still play?

 

[ravana]

Piano, 1-2 hours, 6 years

Edit:

Feel about it then - Liked it when I did it for myself, hated it when I had to do it for playing the Organ at church on sunday.

Now - I don't play, wish I had never stopped. Trying to get one at my place so I can continue.

 

[novasatori]

clarinet 1 year, it was ok.
tenor saxophone 1 year, enjoyed it but the band teacher was an ass and always picked on me.

I think I had to play each 40min a day, monday-friday, at the least.

I wouldn't mind being able to play tenor sax now, it would be fun. But I quit both, and it felt good.

 

[Descartes]

Piano and violin. I still play the piano at least an hour a day, and often more.

 

[MiniDoom]

Started playing drums 20 years ago. Still play every Friday.

 

[PoPPeR]

Piano for 8 years
Violin for 12
Viola for 6

Hated them all because I would rather play video games. I had some talent, so I still ended up pretty good, but if I had put effort into it I would've had a decent chance at San Francisco Youth Symphony with the violin. I haven't played in 2 years, and i'd go play right now but my bow needs rehairing, and i'm too lazy to get it done.

Skin flute? Flesh organ? Sorry.

I didn't as a youth, but I'm trying to find time to learn piano now in my 20s. I'd like to graduate to latin piano eventually. I know that now that it's something I value, I'd spend the requisite time practicing and getting good. Like PoPPeR, I just wanted to play video games instead.

 

[Juno]

Piano of six years. Two hours a day.

Stopped playing because I'm in college.

 

[Buck Armstrong]

I played the bass (real bass, not electric) in grade school for 2 years. Boring instrument.

I played electric guitar from 16 to 23 when my guitar was stolen. After a 10 year break, I just bought a new guitar (Jackson DK2) and have been playing for 3-4 hours a day for the past week. I'm a bit rusty of course, but its funner than ever.

 

[Modeps]

I played the Clarinet for a while, but I was never good because I didnt practice... Same with the Violin.

 

[LED]

Started playing with time over 50 yrs ago... retired 10 yrs back but pick up the sticks now and then for fun and love because it's 1 part of me.

After the Rattlers & 1 new beginning

1/2 way through starting to Peak

Every Now and Then just for fun

 

[thirdlegstump]

Played guitar everyday since high school for countless amount of hours. I'd fall asleep on my guitars, wake up, play for hours again, repeat.

 

[PsharkJF]

Drums, 24/7, all of my ~20 years.
If it's not with sticks, i'm tapping with my hands or pens I have handy.

 

[Jzero]

Yeah back in grade school/college I was singing and playing sax for at least an hour each day, usually more during peak marching band/musical seasons.

I still sing a lot and play on occasion but not nearly as much as I used to or would like to.

 

[spacelord]

in 6th and 7th grade.. Coronet. As little as possible.. I hated band.

 

[deerslayer]

I'm an avid player of the butt trumpet. Have been for years.

I took guitar lessons for a while.

 

[IGBT]

[PatrickBateman]

played drums for 7 years almost everyday, became married w/ children which changed it to everyother weekend, maybe. Soon as we find a house, I am getting a new set and shall play much more often

 

[konakona]

I tried piano for few years of my grade school days only to find out i wasnt really cut out for playing instruments of any sort..

 

[His Lord Uberdude]

I play violin 1-1 1/2 hours every day.

 

[Orsorum]

Trumpet, 1/2 hour to 2 hours a day, fifth grade through senior year of high school. I still pull it out once a month or so and run through some scales and some of my favorite songs.

 

[jdub1107]

Piano about 6-7 yrs for 1hr a day. Hated it. Although I wish I could still play, but now I can barely read notes and my fingers are quite stiff.

 

[Electric Amish]

Piano for a few years. I don't remember how long. I hated it.

 

[badmouse]

Oh, yeah, piano 24/7 - if I didn't have a real piano I'd do the fingering on the table or in my head. Then I discovered the bass guitar, joined a bunch of bands, had a great time.

I still play piano, it keeps me sane. Nothing like a few Bach fugues to put the brain back to normal after a stressful day.

edit - my father was a jazz pianist, so there was nothing abnormal about playing piano all day at my house.
