It's only hard to practice them when I have alot of school work. When I don't I play a different instrument "group" every day. For example:
Sunday-alto and tenor saxes
Monday-Bflat and bass clarinets
Tuesday- piano/organ
Wednesday-drums
Thursday-flute
Friday-guitar/mandolin
Saturday-mallet percussion(bells)
I normnally always practice every day for a few hours. I try to get in 2-3 hours a day, but since I have freshman year of high school coming up I don't know what the workload will be but I'll find a few hours those days(before school/after school/during school Twisted Evil

Let's just say I'm a devoted 14 year old musician Twisted Evil

that's ~cRaZy~ tenorsaxman!

I own:
a paris series III alto
holton 1909 tenor
some student geindhert flute
bandnow pocket trumpet
m-audio digital piano
cundy-bettoney wooden l.p piccolo.

I play:
*my alto
*I would play my tenor but it goes in for an overhaul in 2/3 weeks!
*pocket trumpet (it's a midget trumpet!)
*I do a little synth/mixing work with the piano, I can't fully play piano but *I used it to teach myself like advanced chords and triads and theory stuff, so I can play begginer/intermeddiate paino

I all so own one of those recorders from elementary school if that counts! When I was walking around the other day, I went into this science store and they had a 'science of music' section and I found this little toy called a 'Sax-o-flute' for $5 bucks and I can play that! you design it into the instrument of your choice and it sounds like a sax! I'm a thrill for anything sax :P

Play sax, but I also play bass guitar for church stuff, and I dabble on keyboard. Basically, the keyboards just to write music and such

I currently play flute, sax and piano. I've played guitar for several years, and can get around on bass, but don't have much time for either anymore; I'm just too busy, unfortunately. Also, I have briefly played trumpet and oboe.
