I'd love to hear more about the beginning of the journey - if you had a teacher, who you went to for advice, what approach you took, and how you planned out your practice sessions. Twll us more about the first few months!

[@Critique808]

How do you go to work if you're practicing 8 hours a day?

[@Ruzic99]

Thank you for documenting this! this is super impressive

[@24cf648]

Happy to see you back

[@gregorydopart7589]

I'm with you!

[@SSAENS-yj3jw]

I love this

[@sachaandersen9328]

I started playing in 2019 August so you must have started then too. I'm 24 now so always felt old at 19 when I picked it up. I've been following you since 2020 and I'm happy we're both still going. Big inspiration!
Are you at university doing bachelors or masters in piano performance?

[@30000-HOURS-PIANO-CHALLENGE]

Would love to see your progress as well. Can you send me link (if you have)
I have not attended to university yet and not soon.

[@keys6]

Very good but not a wise thing to do 7 - 8 hrs due to risk of injury. Good luck to those who can do it. I do 2hrs and by then hands need to rest.

[@katttttt]

I found the most impressive actually that you're willing to practice that long😅 do you have an ultimate goal why you wanna achive 30000 hours?

[@katttttt]

Interesting 😆🤪

[@lezeroo2630]

Very impressive! How did you manage to stay focused and without hurting yourself practicing so many hours?
After 3 years my upper limit is around 1 hr, before I stop recognizing what notes I'm reading and my fingers just dont respond 100%

[@adrianlm9475]

amazing! 👏👏👏
Could you explain a bit how was your studying schedule for the first year? I guess it's not as simple as 8h/day practicing a piece over and over but something more structured instead. I just started a month ago to learn piano 3h/day and I do 0.5h scales, 0.5h Hannon, 0.5h reading, 1h learning a piece and 0.5h resting between each block, but I wonder if you can suggest something different. I'd love to know how you did! ❤

[@30000-HOURS-PIANO-CHALLENGE]

Your program is amazing. My only advice that i can give you or anyone is finding the qualified teacher.

[@24cf648]

By the way, did you sound proof your room or is this a separate studio?

[@30000-HOURS-PIANO-CHALLENGE]

I put foam with the thickness 5 cm. It does help but not much as I thought.

[@keys6]

Do you play from the sheet music?

[@30000-HOURS-PIANO-CHALLENGE]

Yes, I love sheet music and my ears are not good.

[@pianodugi]

Very good progress but practicing 7-8 hours s day???😮 I practice 30 mins a day.

[@marconisantos4883]
