Actually, don't just practice...also...play. Play a lot. Play your favorite songs. Learn a new one. Or two. But play...play a lot! After all, it's called "playing your instrument" so it should be a lot of fun!
Establish a schedule that allows you to spend some time playing your instrument each day. When you play a lot, you will get better. And...if you need some help, contact me. I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have about your instrument and music in general.
I may be keeping busy, but I'm NEVER too busy to help you all out. Well..at least during the school-day. I do have a family...
