I might just play old pieces though, usually practicing new stuff is draining, so progress is sloooow. August FÃ¶rster 190

During the weekends when I have no lesson, I practise 2-3 hours in the morning, then 1-2 hours in the afternoon or evening if I find the time and feel like practising more. On the alternate Sundays when I have a lesson, I practise 1 hour before the lesson, attend my 1-hour lesson, then I'm free from piano for the rest of that day. Be yourself

During the weekend it varies greatly, depending on what is going on. Yamaha C2X \| Yamaha M500-F Groucho Marx: "Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others."

I am retired, so I have the time to do so, but it is still hard to get that much time in with all the other activities in my life, such as spending quality time with my husband, language lessons, over seeing the remodel of our apartment, working out, and the activities of daily life (cooking, cleaning, shopping, paying bills, etc.) So, I quite literally schedule my practice time into the day on an appointment calendar. Somehow it all works! I'm actually hoping that in 3 years or so after I'm retired 2-3 hours per day will be the norm. I sure hope so...
