To anyone who wants to answer:

1. How much do you practice a day(estimate)?

2. Do you practice more/less/same during the school year?

3. Do you think you want to major in music in college?

4. Other than the obvious(GET OFF THE COMPUTER), how do you balance school and cello?

Re: just curious
hello!!!!

here are my answers


1. Right now, i practise about 4 hours a day...it depends if i have to work or not. I dont practise for long periods of time, cause my wrists tend to go out after playing really hard for about an hour

2. I barely practise at home during school...but remember that on mondays for example. I have a 1 1/2 hour class...then i go home and practise for an hour...then i got to orchestra for 3 hours....so basically i still play the cello alot, but just not alone

3. No, i will NOT major in music in university (i live in canada, college is for dumbasses here)
umm basically, a degree gets u no where in canada. You have to be like yo yo ma to get a really good job here..unless i lived in europe, where they get government funding...there is no way that i will major in music

4. How do i balance school and cello?? haha i think the question for me is how do i balance, a job, school, cello, two orchestras, cello lessons, and track practise every day........i dont know...i just do it. Hurrah for 16 hour days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Pretty much 4 hours a day

2. I'm really really going to try and do 4 hours this year, but I probably won't be able to do it. I always try to give myself enough break time so I don't hurt myself, which means it takes me 6 hours to practice 4.

3. I'm definitely going to go into music, which makes school SOOOOOOOO frustruating. Everything that I have to do for school isn't even looked at by music schools. Argh! I am going to miss having all this time to practice once school starts. Boo hoo!

4. I was hoping that there was some unknown secret out there. Oh well, I guess I won't sleep.

Re: my answers
it's nice to know that i'm not the only one who hates school!
1) during summer or other breaks, anywhere from 3-6 hours a day. during school, at least 2 hours, and i practically have to fight for more than that.
2) well, this year i might get in the youth symphony, which would give me a great excuse to leave my homework, as school orchestra, well, lets just say they don't practise.
3) yes, definately. i wish that i could get into someplace like interlochen... an aquaintance of mine was accepted this year, so it got me thinking. anyone have any advice on this, feel free to share!
4) i don't, honestly. if i don't feel like doing homework, i put it away until i have practised enough (enough, ha!). and if school in neglected, well, i'll live!
