10 hours of practice a day? That's including rehearsals for ensembles right?

Yeah, I was gonna say, my classmates and I at music school rarely practiced over 6-7 hours a day, including ensemble rehearsals (orchestra 3 days a week for 2 hrs each, studio class, string quartet, etc.) I was going to be really surprised at the rigor of your program if that was 10 hours of individual practice!
