Practice for 20 Hours
It is not humanly possible to practice all in a twenty-hour stretch.
A distributed practice learning method is achievable. It would roughly mean 45 minutes of practice for a period of thirty days in a row.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
