This is a completely individual thing. Some days I spend 45 minutes and then move to working on music. Other days I do what I consider my "full routine" and that can take as much as three hours. It just depends on where my playing is, where my head is, and what else I have going on that day.
There is no set routine and the way we think (and therefore the quality of our practice) is more important than clock time. _________________ Bach trumpet artist-clinician

For a student a good rule of thumb would be to spend 2/3 of your time on routine and 1/3 music. _________________ Bill Bergren |

So why 2/3 - 1/3? I need more rime learning the skills? |

Two things. When I play the routine I am MOSTLY working on my ability to quiet my mind and keep my thinking in the world of sound. That's really what prepares me for optimal performance.
Secondly, when I am in harmony (Adam would say "in phase") with my instrument I can play any music that might cross my path better.
To complement my routine on the horn, I spend a great deal of time listening to excellent models in order to program my imagination with a vivid and detailed example of the kinds of sounds my imagination must generate. _________________ Bach trumpet artist-clinician

An analogy. How much time does a baseball team spend during practice on drills (fundamentals) vs. actually playing baseball? _________________ Bill Bergren |
