    How much classical in your life?

    I hope that the regulators can help me on this one. I would like to start a poll, but if it cannot be done simply answer individually on the basis of how many hours per week you devote to listening to and to practicing/playing classical music.

    a. 1-3 hours

    b. 4-6 hours

    c. 7-9 hours

    d. 10-12 hours

    e. more than 12 hours.

    Lately, I have been listening to the equivalent of one CD a day, so I'm in the "c" category.

    If we restrict it purely to listening, I'm in c. If we add practicing and working on electronic realizations, e. (You do sort of have to listen to it to practice it, after all! )

    Listening to recordings: A, if that much
    Studying: less than I should, I'd like to say E but I'm not sure I can claim that for the last few weeks

    Weekly listening used to be 'e'--there was a time when I listened to notheing but classical. I don't play nowadays since I finished Grade 8, but I still listen often, just to other genres as well. So currently? Make it an 'a' I guess.

    Listening varies between 4 and 12 hours a week, with a few hours taken out to listen to Slayer, Ildjarn and Demilich.

    Hi!
    I do not listen to classical music a lot, so I'd say A to listening... but playing/practicing is a certain E.

    I first thought you meant "per day" not "per week", heh. Then it's 12+ here.
