I`m 12 and this is my 6th year of piano.
My teacher wants me to practice 45 minutes each day. How much time do you guys practice?

Also, I think it would be a good idea to give grade (if student), or if amateur or professional. Give also possibly recent pieces worked on.
This might help in answering this question too.

now that its summer I usually practice upwards hours (not in a straight block, usually throughout the day). I`m not exactly sure how you would define ametuer, but I`m not very advanced either.
Current peices I`m working on:
-Brahms Rhapsody in Gm
-Mendelssohn piano concerto in Gm
-A very ugly french 2 piano suite by Darius Milhaud (my brother is playing the other part, lol)
-Some random preludes and fuges from Wohl-Tempered Klavier
-Mozart Piano sonata in F (K 332)
So you see my teacher likes to have me working on several peices at once, and despite the fact that they are only moderately difficult, I have to practice that much just to get through them. But I also like practicing so anyway.

oh now that i read that more carefully, I am most certianly an amatuer as opposed to professional (i`m still a student, and don`t even consider being a professional later on)

Speaking from a teacher`s pt of view:
30 mins everyday for total beginners
45 mins everyday for advanced beg to grade 2.
1 hr everyday for grade 3 to 4.
1 and 1/2 to 2 hours for grade 5-7.
2 hours for grade 8 to PC.
Diploma and above? at least 3 hrs daily.
Professional? At least 4 to 6 hours daily.
