In the CMA you can do 5-6 hours a day of solo practice for years and still have no idea what you're doing. lol

Reminds me of an interview from years back, young writer talking to an old jazz musician. The writer said "You must practice for hours a day?" The jazz guy said "No, I don't practice at all." The writer was amazed "You never practice?" The musician replied "I don't have time to practice, I'm too busy playing."
"No, I don't practice at all." The writer was amazed "You never practice?" The musician replied "I don't have time to practice, I'm too busy playing."

4-5 hours a day of practice for 7-8 years should equal a professional level ability in whatever is being practiced.
This seems to hold true in athletics, medicine and business.
Now whether, or not, the thing by being practiced and the ability gained in the end was worth it, or not, is a totally different question.
