Some benchmarks:
RCM levels 1 to 4: 45 minutes a day
RCM levels 5 to 8: 60 minutes a day
RCM levels 9 and above: 90 minutes plus
This amount of time is sufficient to cover all that needs to be done.
- technique
- etudes
- repertoire
- theory or ear training on alternate days
- sight reading
Best regards,
David Story
PS: I'd like to thank my colleague Becky Yuan and former teacher Leon Karan for input on the numbers.
