I agree totally with the consistency part. I have also found that missing
a day is the worst thing you can do, especially when preparing for something
big. I would just like to say that on a personal level, I have realized that
having fun playing is almost as important and that if I don't force myself
into long practice sessions when I don't feel like it, not only do I enjoy
it more the next day, but I usually don't lose anything as long I play for a reasonable amount of time. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely serious about music; it's like a sport to me. But I believe that forcing yourself to practice makes music unenjoyable. Just my personal thoughts.
