Since my technical skill is where I want it to be, and my reading is also up to par... I mainly work on skills that I have and spend time composing. Before this I would get music and attempt to sight read pieces or just go through the basics.

Well, I've currently gone about three weeks in a slightly steady schedule...An hour a day, fifteen minutes of scales (my max, my teachers minimum). I can't structure it other than that though, or I get bored fast. I have to switch genres every second piece.
Get this summer schedule though.
15 freaking hours a week of theory and technique.
(*&#@%(*&#@(*&^*#(*(#@
5 hours classes, monday wednesday thursday. DEAR LORD.
On top of that, I'm teaching four music camps, student teaching, and taking jazz lessons. &*)(&)(&()&()@%@#^$^$

Jack315 my practice isnt very structured usually i just pick up an instrument and play me too : ( not getting a lot of stuff i was planning on doing done btw, I still can't change tones when I growl. I think what I'm doing is just fluttering and cheating, like kitsuke told me she does sometimes. hmm, should I be able to hear something in my throat when I growl? Sometimes i can hear myself making these... sounds. Sounds like someone who's choking to death. >< I'm so bad. Kinda sounds like the growls Ian Anderson does on flute, the way i learned it.

While I'm up at school I try to get in at least an hour or two a day five or six days a week on my sax, which is my primary. Then I'll do a half hour or so of one of the secondaries I'm learning (last semester was woodwinds, this coming semester is brass) at a half hour of piano. That tends to be just barely enough to keep up with all my music lessons each week. On my sax, I start off with major and minor scales, arpegios, longtones, and some multiphonics for fun as a warm up. Then I usually hit the Ferling Etudes book for a bit, and whatever solo piece that I'm working on at the time.

I remember for All City Honor Choir they gave us the written music and a CD with the teachers singing our parts and said "Go! You have to know ALL of this by the time practice starts in two weeks!" Gave me reason to listen to choir music in the car against the other people riding in the car's will, lol. Once practice started it was just working on tone, intensity, articulation, emphasis, blending, and such which made the two practices a week go very smoothly.
Jazz choir songs are the ones my best friend and I still practice (jokingly yet it still works since we know them) because they were the greatest and we get bored. Like at the International Science Fair we were bored and since there was a Route 66 hand bag in the gift shop at the Oregon Convention Center, you can imagine the stares, lol.

Since my jazz band is school run (somewhat) there are certain songs we have to do so I generally practice those as well some other songs that aren't jazz (like Beatles stuff). Occasionally I'll just try and do some improv stuff, most of the time it doesn't turn out well or turns into a classical piece.

well, seeing as how i'm in school for music, i practice whatever i'm assigned. i start off by pedaltones, then lip slurs (i'm a trumpet player) then i move on to my 12 major scales (memorized) then i nit pick at every piece i have to get it structured to perfection. just remember to always practice, that you should always practice what/how you want to perform, and that NO ONE IS PERFECT! music is a very negative job that is constantly having you look at yourself and say "ok, i played this bad, lets go over it"
