I was trying to explain to a student the other day how I would break down their development as a trumpet player. I kinda came up with these approx. numbers. I would be curious as to what you think as well as everybody else.

1. I figure that probably around 70% of a trumpet players improvement comes from time spent in the practice room practicing smart.

2. I figure that a good teacher gets maybe 10 % of the credit.

3. I figure maybe 10 % goes to listening to great players - both recorded and live performances

4. Last 10 % goes to listening to recordings of themselves either practicing or performing.

What do you think ?
