Play every day for 1 hour (at least)! It's how we learned as kids ;;
Spread out your genres, I suggest, but remember they teach you classical for a reason. I got into a jazz thing, and now my classical is quite sloppy. Classical impresses people, jazz/rock/blues is for fun times. Buy the Royal Conservatory books and press onward throughout the examinations. It sucks, but it'll definitely make you stronger.
