On Practicing

Here’s a tip for when you’re in rehearsal: Form the habit of putting an asterisk or some other mark next to staves that have tough passages that you want to remember to work on. It will save precious practice time at home and will help you focus your time efficiently on just what you most need to work on.

And in the category of other musicians' thoughts, here's a website I found to be interesting and informative on the subject. There are many more; just google "practice tips in music" or something similar.
