Three groups of violinists of varying success were studied.
"Perhaps most striking, all three groups were spending the same total amount of time on music-related activities - lessons, practice, classes, and so on - about fifty-one hours a week... though the violinists understood the importance of practice alone, the amount of time the various groups actually spent practicing alone differed dramatically. The two top groups, the best and better violinists, practiced by themselves about twenty-four hours a week on average. The third group, the good violinists, practiced by themselves only nine hours a week." - Geoff Colvin
