For practice schedules, is it okay to alternate practice materials? Or is it better to practice the same thing everyday?
For example:
Monday - Master Studies
Tuesday - Mastering the Tables of Time
Wednesday - Master Studies
Thursday - Mastering the Tables of Time
Friday - Master Studies
Saturday - Mastering the Tables of Time
The above is just an example, I have other practice materials. My point is that I'm wondering whether it's okay to alternate the practice material within a week.
For everyday stuff: I practice rudiments everyday as part of my warmup. I also plan to spend 25 minutes on Syncopation reading exercise, and another 25 minutes working through The New Breed exercises. And 25 minutes each working on my weak limbs (25 min for left hand, 25 min for left foot).
Of course, I have time allocated to playing along to music and other fun stuff, about 30 minutes to an hour for that.
