Each of us has a limited amount of time to practise our instrument. For some, that can be eight hours a day or more. For most it's substantially less than that.
There is a common mistaken tendency to infer that improvement is proportional to hours of practice. In addition there is an resigned undercurrent of belief, that practice ought to be along the lines of the routine demonstrated in the above video.
Now, I'm not suggesting that there is no truth to these ideas. However, I would claim that there are certainly times when these ideas have absolutely zero relevance to a student's progress, and that consequently, a more elegant approach to the topic is warranted.
