Wow, practicing for 3-4 hours per day! I feel like they’re gonna be regretful for spending that much time on this later in life. I spent way too much time playing battlefield 1942, had fun but way too much time wasted.
I practiced classical music 3-4 hours per day. Sometimes in the weekends, too. I played multiple instruments and sang in choir growing up. I enjoyed the work that gave me a sense of accomplishment.
Although I am not a professional musician, the time spent kept me out of trouble as a kid and a teenager. In addition, I learned to win and to lose gracefully, which publicly funded schools no longer teach.
