Ok, I'm looking for practice tips. Specifically, I'm thinking of things that you think are common knowledge in your instrument, because I may well not have heard them.

For example, I've been playing the oboe for about 18 months, and my teacher, and other (very good) teachers, and other woodwind players in general have suggested that a good way of practicing tricky sections is to use different rhythms. I actively played the viola for about 10 years and didn't hear this suggestion at the time.

Do you have any tried and trusted tips? - maybe different instruments (inc voice btw) have different ideas to share.
