If you play an instrument, how often do you practice?

I play the piano and violin, and I'm guilty of often blowing off my practice time in favor of other pursuits (like, hey, myLot!). I TRY to put in a good 5-10 hours a week on both instruments, though it rarely ends up happening that way. How many hours a week do you practice your musical instrument?

I play about ten instruments, and I practice at least one of them each day, but that's because I really don't have anything else to do.

If given a chance, i would practice 10 hours per week or more. but for me though, it's not a musical instrument... it's photoshop. I guess it's just the same, only that musical instruments are for music whereas Photoshop is for my hobby. Anyways, if given a chance, I would practice more than this time though. That is aside from MyLot of course.. Which takes more time... And should...

I play Guitar, Bass guitar, Baritone, trombone and some drums. I try to practice as much as I can on all of them but I end up just playing the guitar the most because it's my favorite. I can't say I practice 5-10 hours on all of them because i don't even think there's that much time in a week lol, but I'd have to say total i practice 20-25 hours a week on all my instruments total. It varies though because i write songs for my band and if i ever get on a roll I might have my guitar in my lap for 2 hours straight.
