How often should I practice?
Developing good practice habits is very important in developing skill. The main objective is to be consistent. Practicing a little each day is better than skipping a few days and then practicing several hours trying to catch up. Practicing is a discipline that you will need to work at. There are many distractions that compete for our time. TV and the internet are huge time hogs. I know some one that leaves the remote to his TV at his workplace so he won’t be tempted to waste time on silly TV shows. If there is something he thinks is worth seeing he’ll bring it home for a night and take it back the next day. Always remember that time is the most precious asset we have and none of us knows how much of it we have. I tell my students that are small children to practice at least thirty minutes per day but teens and adults should try to practice an hour per day.
