Practicing 10 hours

First time practicing for 10 hours!

As you can see, I'm not a child prodigy or a national champion, and that's because I only started practicing a lot recently. So I understand if you ever think that practicing for an extended period, like 10 hours, doesn't seem to match the results I'm currently showing, and I will agree that my skill level definitely lacks in various aspects from a professional perspective.

This is mainly because until a few months ago, I never saw a future for myself in music. I pursued it primarily as a hobby or due to parental encouragement. However, at one point, I decided to fully immerse myself in it, and I realised what a privilege it is to be able to do music. And I regret not putting in more effort earlier.

I would definitely say that the number of hours you practice a day doesn't determine your level or how good you are in music. Of course, you'll need to put in more time in order to play well, but crazy numbers don't mean anything. It also depends on how focused you are during your practice and what kind of practice you engage in (whether it's a meaningful use of your time or not).

I wouldn't recommend doing this regularly; it's better suited for special occasions. Practicing for long hours can consume your entire day and be quite unhealthy, leading to a build-up of stress. However, it can be a challenging yet fun goal to pursue :)
