Ten Thousand Hours

Finn told me today that he read that it takes 10,000 dedicated, deliberate hours practicing an instrument to reach expert level.  I had read the same statistic recently, and told him I know, and that's why I'm keeping track of my practice times.  "Only 9,970 hours or so left for me!"  I said.  He cracked up.


At the rate of practicing one hour per day I'll reach virtuoso level at the age of 68.

  I'm on my way!

  1. I did the same calculations recently with piano, which I started lessons on this fall. It will be quite awhile before I'm an expert, but I'm willing to wait!

    I love how much you love the violin. I love it too. :)
