  1. Thirty percent of your time working on your drills, rudiments, and homework as prescribed by your teacher.
  2. Seventy percent pf your time playing along with your favorite recordings. 
Remember you signed up to play, so play. As you acquire skills the playing will improve. And, you will be having fun as you slowly get there. 

Now, there are other ways to allocate your time, I tend to flip it 70%  drill/time/feel etudes, technique and 30% repertoire.  But, I'm not a beginner. 

Best, 

​David
