I think that there is another, far more important aspect to the practice regimen.

When I recommend those rather short term practice sessions, there is a caveat.

One must first learn HOW to practice.

Repetition in and of itself may not be practicing, in the worst case scenario we might be simply reinforcing a BAD habit rather than working towards eliminating same.

This is what is meant by the old saying that "practice makes perfect but only if practiced perfectly."

That doesn't mean that everything we play when practiced must be played perfectly at all times, for if we could do that, there would be no need to practice.

I think that it means we should learn HOW TO PRACTICE so that we practice "perfectly".

Anyone who has never witnessed real practicing by real musicians in the learning environment might do themselves the favor of inquiring about being able to lurk the practice rooms at local music schools, universities and colleges, and just sit outside and LISTEN.
