When i say routine i meant things like practice scale first, then bowing, vibrato, etc.

and what percentage of the time do you spend on each excersise(sry about the spelling)

Answer 1

AT LEAST 3 HOURS A DAY X 3 YEARS.

Answer 2

Well I play both the piano and violin, but I'm only a beginner in violin. I can give you some advice on my piano work though. Everyday I practice the scales about three times each for every scale, then I work on an intermediate level piece for sight-reading, then when I feel like I've trained my eyes for harder work, I move on to sheets of music I want to play. Normally I'd say to practice for 1-2 hours with breaks inbetween, you do not want your butt stuck to the chair (if you're sitting, if your standing, well you might get tired after awhile).

I try to wash my face before I practice so that I don't get tired (I practice not long after I get up). Don't over-perfect your pieces, they'll wind up in the dump, or at least that's how it is with me. I practice until it's perfect, then I keep practicing and it winds up really bad and off.

Answer 3

I practice an hour a day. But if your looking to practice longer but dont think you can last break it up throught the whole day. Maybe like 20 min at a time. Remember its not how long you practice its the amount of hard work you put in it.

Answer 4
