Wow, do the math...

4 years

365 days a year (at least 1 leap year in there)

24 hours a day

Equals 35,064 hours

10,000 hours of practicing is 28.5% of the entire time spent with a
clarinet in your face!!

Or almost 7 hours every day.

Hope his neighbors like the sound of the clarinet!

It's like working for a living!
