Practice makes perfect they say cool2 .......I try to get in at least an hour each day at home trying new things with songs, sounds, styles, learning new playing technics, and just relaxing and enjoying myself playing music. Life is TOO Short.. keys

How about you?

At least 4 hours a day. Do 30 hour straight sessions (three per month) and 24 hours per week at clubs.

Woodshed on steel, banjo, vibes, mandolin...lots of others.

... usually only when I'm getting paid to play. I leave my keyboard at work as a rule, although it's home right now, until Friday. It's setting right beside me all hooked up and I haven't turned it on since Monday, when I changed some settings.

Since the 'gigging days' are history, serious practicing vary a lot.
Some days or evenings quite a lot if I'm in the right mood. Some days a couple of hours, some not at all.
Generally it's far less than I should have done, at least for keeping my fingers and two brain cells in shape. blush

Not practicing, actually, but more like learning or re-learning new or forgotten songs that me and my jam buddies have decided to add to our imaginary 'gig' list. Too old and stiff to improve technique anymore, so just concentrate on learning new songs.

I stopped practicing when I stopped working - no need to practice anymore. However, I usually try to record a couple songs a week, so I guess, in a sense, that can called practicing. wink

Three hours each night 7pm-10pm learning new songs and especially
lyrics (I don`t use music or fake books)then it`s my turn for the
tv and a few beers.

I usually play (practice) the evenings before my 3 day weekends I work a 4 day week so it gets late when I finally get home. When I do play during the week..........why is it that I don't get creative until after 10pm and I have to get up at 5am?? I get much less sleep since getting this Genos!! -charley

Don't practice like I did for years with technical exercises,etc. Now its to learn something for a specfic job which also involves pregramming time ot just playing piano for myself. Today I did spend about two hours on the BK9 working on some specfic things. See the thread on Arranger Chords for that.
