Are you a full-time professional who's at the top of your industry either as a soloist or a permanent principal trumpet of a major symphony?
If not, I'd say weekly is still ideal. No, most of us cannot commit that time out here in the real world. But so long as you're still in HS or College, I think it's a given that you need regular private lessons.
And if I had an instructur in Rochester, MN who could teach at the level I need I would probably StILL go weekly. If not, I'd definitely do it regularly on some form of interval -- monthly, bi-weekly, whatever.
Heck, as Alex said, there are more than a few pros who still study with others in the field. It never stops.... |
