- Set aside at least 3 sessions per week; shorter regular sessions are more effective than long but infrequent ones.
- Each practice session ideally lasts 30-45 minutes once you’re past the initial setup phase (embouchure, instrument handling).
- In the early stage you might spend 10-15 minutes on warm-ups and instrument familiarisation, then build from there.
- Consistency is more important than hitting a high number of hours; building habit is key with instruments.
- As you progress into melodies, reading music and songs, you may want to allocate one longer session (60 minutes) weekly for consolidation.
