Re: Taking a Break

You need to build resting time into your practice sessions. As much as you play, you should rest. That means playing less during your two hours (like an hour less) or adding time to allow for more of each. It is helpful to split your time into more than one session a day, which if you expect to get to 4 hours will be required.
I often put my horn down and use resting time to listen, or wash the dishes, move the wash to the dryer, so that I don't feel like I am wasting time while my lips are recovering.
