I am a 16 year old who's been playing piano ever since I can remember. I am also an aspiring concert pianist, but can find no support from my friends/family for this profession. I am extremely dedicated to piano.
Could someone please tell me an effective method of practicing, and how not to lose concentration? I can play for up to 5 hours, but I hear that concert pianists play up to 12. Also, is there any risk of me losing me hearing because of being exposed to so much piano playing?
I also heard about this one girl my mom knew who entered a conservatory but had to drop out after the first semester because she permanently damaged her hands. How should I practice so this doesn't happen?
I know I have a lot of questions :) but thanks a lot for reading.
PS I love playing the piano - it's not just for my teacher or the audience.
