19. Hi I’m late but I hope you can answer me because I’ve been wondering about this for a while now.

    How do people practice instruments in Japan?

    Living space is very limited in Japan and I’ve heard people are very cautious about not disturbing their neighbours (in a multi stories building) doing things like *talking with their normal voice at night*

    So how do people practice and learn instruments after school / work without disturbing their neighbours?

    I play the violin which can be heard 2 stories up and down from my room and violin is not comparable to trumpet for instance.

    Curious because I intend to live in Japan in the future and want to keep practicing during the time.
