We live in one of those little semi-detached houses in old Toronto. This year we added a big two-storey addition out the back, and the new big room on the main floor is JUST for MUSIC! It is a retreat away from kids and computers and television and homework.....It has the piano, and the harp, and the dulcimer, and the 36 gallon aquarium, and the bay window with the garden view, and the fireplace..... (and my sanity!).

Doesterr, I hear your situation loud and clear. I have a classical music degree, and spent years carving out my territory practicing flute and piano 6 - 8 hours a day. I am very impressed that you can make it work in your house with two musicians and two different styles of music happening.....it's not an 'ego' conflict, it's creative time and space we're talking about....
