Notes and tones: “It’s not the amount of hours you practice, but it’s the consistency of practicing everyday. Do not set practice times but set obtainable goals that are able to reach, so that when you are done you feel good about what you have accomplished. Practice when your energy level is high, not when you’re tired.
