I find that three hours is generally the minimum practice time on the horn
to continue development....anything less is maintenence.

Listening, reading, sight singing (well....it is a good idea I
never get to anymore!!!), attending concerts, and performing are all on
top of that time. Do you have 26 hours in a day?! Well....a good dose of
all scattered throughout the week is fun and healthy.....give it a crack!
