If you want to improve at your instrument, enjoy your lessons, and get the most out of your musical education, a daily practice commitment is necessary. How much you practice each day depends on your age, level, instrument, and musical goals, but here are some very general guidelines:


Beginner                      15-30 minutes/day            Preliminary-Grade 2

Lower Intermediate      30-45 minutes/day            Grade 3-5

Upper Intermediate       45-60 minutes/day           Grade 6-9

            Advanced                    1-2 hours/day                   Grade 10 and above
