Perk: Singing based on IQ

Min HT is an interesting idea! It's not really that fatiguing. You don't build a sweat from playing and its no harder than walking. Or at least it shouldn't be. I regularly practice 3 hours per day and then go and perform a major 3 hours concert. Afterwards I feel energized, not fatigued!

I'd be curious to know what instrument you play. I'm not much more than passable as a singer, harmonicist, pianist or drummer, but have performed in each. The only ones I did for a sustained period of time were singing and drumming. After drumming for a couple hours (on a hand drum, a dumbek, for bellydancers), I could lay back, close my eyes, and keep drumming; then get up and walk around, do other things. After singing for an hour and half, I'd feel like I'd spent an eight hour day doing physical labor.

I am a trumpet player and singer. I also play trombone, French horn, guitar, electric bass and piano, but I not at a professional level on those other instruments. Don't get me wrong, playing trumpet and singing are tiring, but tiring on very specific muscles (lips, voice, and abs a bit).
