The first hour  is very important to relax your hands. Move them slowly, open and close your hands to relax your muscles and provide some stretching.

Your get started with one, two or maybe three Major scales like C, G and E. Start plying tehm slowly and gradually increase your speed. Play each scale altering your right hand fingers. Eg.  i,m or m,a or i,a. Remenber! Don’t cram! Play the scales along the fretboard. A litlle arpegio will sure help. Choose pieces from  Mauro Giulianni, Mateo Carcassi, Fernando Sor or more recent ones like Villa Lobos and Léo Brouwer.

After some technical preparation you should always start playing those songs you have pleyd for years, which will sure give you confidence and sensibility during interpretation. After these series of exercises you can get started with the new pieces of your repertoire.

The best you can do is try to set a repertoire where technique and sensibility and musicality are under control

Carefully search your repertoire, giving priority to your shortcomings in interpreting them.

Choose varied composers from different periods of the classical music. Note that the well-studied pieces are never forgotten. Use a metronome whenever possible as a partner.

Two hours of practicing in each period of the day is ideal to keep your performance all right. For instance, from 8 to 10 a.m., then from 2 to 4 p.m. and again from 8 to 10 p.m. totaling six hour of practice. If you are the kind of “busy guy”, like me, try to make it three hours straight, but full of objectivity.

Before a concert, two extra hours in another period will sure be of great help.

Everyday practice is the formula to keep technique and musicality ok.
