Just wondering how other people spend their time practising on a given day.

Time spent. How you break it up. What you practice and general methods....

OK, sorry this is a bit of a quick reply, but I'll start you off:

About 15 minutes on technical work (on the harp, that means Grossi and Friou exercises)
About 15 minutes on scales, arpeggios, inversions, and exercises that help these sometimes

Then a quick break so my mind and hands don't get too tired. Usually have a drink etc!

Then another half an hour on pieces, usually split between my three exam pieces, or sometimes just two of them.

Then maybe something for "fun" - maybe a bash at something I can't play for orchestra, or something I fancy being able to play for fun - usually something at an easier level than the rest of the things I have been playing.

If I only have half an hour then I still do all of the above, but condensed.

I am aiming to do Grade 4 in the winter to give you some idea of my level.

Hope this helps and you get a good range of replies.

I use my pieces as exercises and break down certain passages turn them into my own little studies!! Playing hundreds of technical stuff I find boring! I have little time each day to practice, so I guess I only realy work on pieces.
