No, I didn't miss the point. I have to spend about 20 hours a week on my PC preparing, planning and record keeping for school.So while my pc is running I always have music as well. The other time listening is when I'm in the car going back and forward to work or being dad's taxi. Luckily my kids like the music. I have quite a lot of time for listening because I'm doing other things, am in school from 08.00 to about 17.30 every day except weekends, but little time for practice (which I really need) The only time I can take for myself is a Wednesday night when I play in a session.If i could get the practice time-I'd love it. Undisturbed time for playing and learning, but my life is very busy. I do agree better to practice than listen to others, but when time is a premium I have only a tiny amount. i do however try and pick up bits etc when I'm listening.
