If you want to improve at your instrument, enjoy your lessons, and get the most out of your musical education, a daily practice commitment is necessary. How much you practice each day depends on your age, level, instrument, and musical goals, but here are some very general guidelines:


  • Beginner (Preliminary-Grade 2): 15-30 minutes/day
  • Lower Intermediate (Grade 3-5): 30-45 minutes/day
  • Upper Intermediate (Grade 6-9): 45-60 minutes/day
  • Advanced (Grade 10 and up): 1-2 hours/day
