Here's an example of what your harmonica practice might look like throughout the week.

MORNING
10m = Exercises: "Movement Exercises Summed" one day and "Tongue Block Study 2.5" the other
25m = Bending Study Song
25m = Tongue Blocking Study Song
(If you've completed the core bending and TB studies, then your focus would be 3rd Position, 1st Position, or whatever study songs are in your path).

AFTERNOON
20m = Improvising: Take one lick from a study song and apply the Chorus Form process

EVENING
20m = Play both your study songs from beginning to ending... just like it were a show. Use remaining time to catch another piece of an Interview or Contributor Submission on the site.

WEEKENDS
Use this time to have fun with other areas that interest you on the harmonica... not your core studies, but something new and fun.
