Can practice sessions be broken into shorter segments?
Yes. In fact, that is the ideal way to practice. A student who does three 10-minute practice sessions each day will probably accomplish more than a student who does one 30 minute session. It is easier to stay focused during short practice sessions. However, many students prefer to do all of their daily practicing all at once. That’s okay. I work with all students to help them develop practicing strategies that work for them. I do stress that it is very important to do some work every day. The frequency of practice sessions is critical. A student who practices 25 minutes a day on Monday through Friday (a little more than 2 hours for the week) and takes the weekend off will usually accomplish more than a student who skips Monday through Friday and practices a whopping 1 1/2 hours on Saturday and 1 1/2 hours on Sunday.
