I would love to practice 4 hours a day but with the rest of my classes and work I can only get 2 hours a day. 3 hours on weekends. Obviously I want to accomplish as much as I can in those 2 hours so I try to regiment the time into sections. An hour on what I call basic maitenence ie scales, lip exercises, tonguing exercises, breath builders, range exercises etc.. and an hour on the pieces I am currently working on. I find that by following this "schedule" I can get the most out of the time I do have.
Hope that helps
