i practise 2-3 hours of piano everyday and i'm wondering whether it's enough. i'm in grade 4.

i practise my instruments whenever i have time... as i've got so many things to do after school

2 -3 hours is more than enough for grade 4!
If you are really concentrating fully in that time you will be progressing quickly.

Im grade 4 piano too and I do about 1 hour some of which is playing just for fun!!!!

4-7 hrs. i find that music is preferable to sleep at times.

Hi,

I don't really see the point of doing many strenuous hours of practise because after about an hout your concentration will lapse. Would it not be better to practise in smaller chunks more often?
It's not the quantity but the quality of your practise that is important.

I'm doing grade four piano too!!! I am really lazy at the mo and hardly pracice although i know i should, but once i get back into it i practice for at least an hour maybe more if i practice at college too.


love Sam

Hi! I think 2-3 hours of practise 4 Grade 4 is great! I can't even find that many spare hours in my whole day! (not exaggerating!) I do lots of extra activities after school as well. I am doing Grade 5 piano - don't practise every day and when I do I don't do enough! (1/2 hour - 45mins) I wish there were more hours in the day!!!!!!!!

I agree, playin 4 fun is also very good 4 sightreadin!!!!

I'm now doing grade 5/6 clarinet and I practise for as long as I can whenever I have time. Most of the time it's about 1 1/2 - 2 hours that I practise, five days a week. Unfortunately, my music is having to sit behind because I get so much homework so that I do well in my GCSE's.
