AMCAS - Start and End dates, number of hours

[HotHamH2O]

I have been playing guitar, bass guitar, and piano for 16 years.
1) How do I properly specify this in date range? It's an ongoing thing without an end date.
2) With things like hobbies and artistic endeavors, the hours vary greatly. I don't have a running tally of how many hours I've spent playing and performing music. What should I do?

I just made hobbies and side activities as a separate activity entry and just listed them. It helps to have something substantial, such as "played in band X" or performed at XYZ, etc. Just keep it as until present.

Make a realistic average estimate of your time spent per week for your art activities.

I called AMCAS to verify what to do about entering ongoing activities and was told to enter August 2014 for this cycle.
