    I'm not really a multi-instrumentalist but I do a variety of things in general. Currently taking ballet lessons and working out so I can stop being fat. I have a kid and a full-time job, so I'll tell you how I find time to do stuff.

    1. I don't do the stuff I already know how to do so I can "stay in practice." I learned how to play guitar and now I almost never play guitar. Hahaha.
    2. I wake up at 4am. Yes, it sucks.
    3. I didn't bother learning to play all the other instruments. I know it sounds like the lazy man's answer BUT, you may be interested to know that I have composed for a variety of orchestral instruments for a concert and I don't know how to play any of them. All you NEED to know is what clef to use and what the highest and lowest notes they can play are. And with just that info, I managed to compose a concert for a piano, cello, violin, timpani, drumset, clarinet, and some other stuff that I don't remember. Don't I sound awesome!

    I hope that helps a bit. Of course, if you WANT to be able to play all the instruments you compose for, you should do it and just accept that it takes time. The only other piece of advice I have is...

    4. Give up video games. But there's no god-damn way THAT'S gonna happen, right? ;)

    Unfortunately for me, I had to give up video games for the time being to focus on my work: violin(working on Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64),composition, arranging(one of my arrangements went to the idig music festival *psyched*),putting together a non-profit online orchestra(I and the orchestra/ choir will not get paid, only the instrumental Specialists like Erutan/katethegreat19, Jillian Aversa, etc.. and Writing a Manga.

    GSO's Notes

    this concerto is 42 minutes long. I've been playing the violin for 6-7 years which is the only reason I can make it through this piece.
