You recommend spending 1/2 hr of each practice on the study song. Does this mean that the time should be spent on the particular chorus I am working on or all that I have worked on so far?

Hello Judi. Warm up with the choruses of the song that you've mastered and then dig into the areas you're currently working on. So, yes, focus on the area you're working on, but warm up with the opening choruses so that you don't let them slip as you're working on the other choruses.
