I also sing but just for fun or for my Music assessments since I do Music at school u vu [Not great at that either]
So to be honest, I'm a pretty mediocre musician ; w;
Practice-wise, my parents pretty much make me sit down from 1-3 hours a day... but if I'm out all day, they won't. But after a lot of going out, my mum will probably make me sit at the piano for the whole day... It's happened on a few occasions. [From 12pm-7pm]
Although I'm forced to play the piano, I do have my preferences while playing... Usually I like playing chords and singing over them... but when I'm not doing that, I prefer Rag Time or Romantic Period pieces... Two contradicting ideas but they're fun. :D

That's really sad to hear that you're forced to play. If you feel like you're stuck where you are, try playing in a group. For example, I had a friend who was classically trained who was getting tired of it so she joined a small jazz group I was in. It made her want to play, and just practicing a different genre and enjoying it is better than not enjoying it and not pushing yourself. At the end of the day you need to play because you want to, it'll be more productive and a lot better.

And don't put yourself down, I'm sure you're a lot better than you think/say you are.

Dont get me wrong... I dont hate it.. I just dont appreciate the fact that I'm forced to play songs I don't enjoy for hours on end u vu
I enjoy playing the things i want to but it kind of makes me upset that I have to play songs I don't like as much.
