Practice what you don't know! Although it may be fun to play the things that you're good at, it won't help you be a better musician. You can practice anything we go over in class, in rehearsals, or something you find online. Anything to play your instrument is helping you get better!
Take it little bits at a time. Don't try to go through every piece of music you have and let it crash and burn! If you're having trouble with something, break it down - figure out the rhythm first, then the notes, and then put it together. Remember - marking your music helps you to fix mistakes!
This is up to you. I suggest 30 minutes a day, as long as it's a productive 30 minutes. Give yourself a goal to meet by the end of your practice session. Don't push yourself to play for 2 hours straight...that's not going to help! Taking a little time every day can help you improve so much!
