For the past 2 months I haven't been practicing my usually 3-4 hours a day Its down to like 30min-1hr a day I don't know why i can't practice for long amounts of time anymore i just seem to get bored and wander off doing something else like watching T.v.
This coming week i will be taking lessons from the flute Professor of the UA...do you guys think that there will be any benefit taking lessons from a professor then just a regular teacher that plays in the local band? cause the only difference i notice so far is the price lol from $40hr to $50hr

Depends on their qualifications, schooling, and style of playing. It also depends on how well your personalitiess mesh. It doesn't matter what they do for a living, what matters is how well they play.

What helps me with practising is breaking up my practise time, usually into 3-4 sessions.
I break it up into:
1. Warming up, site reading, and half my repertoire
2. Other half of my repertoire and rhythms
3. Studies
4. Scales/Arpeggios
The order changes every day. But this way, I don't get bored, I can rest my lips and drink water/have a small snack. Hope this helps!

I usually practice at least 1 new piece per day, for sight reading and it's pretty fun to play new music.
In my practicing I usually:
Play all scales and arpeggios
Do long tones
Sight read
Play repertoire
And then technique.
As Canadian said, it's always nice to change the order, although I really like to start with long tones and at least a few scales to get warmed up.

I recommend to all my students that they alter their practice each day, start with different exercises and do things differently each day, monotony is a killer...you don't eat exactly the same food each day...so don't practice the same way all the time..
also, be creative, make up new scale patterns each day..take a beautiful melody and see how many keys you can play it in..

I think it's ok to go through phases where you don't play & practice as much as usual. I go through them periodically and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
You'll always find your way back

I always practice long tones first, but I mess around with the notes, dynamics, and slurring so I don't get bored. I like to see how lound and soft I can get on a note without messing up the tone.

I've been bad on practicing this summer, and this thread motivated me to practice more again...
But, I guess it depends on the qualifications...such as my flute teacher in Europe is more of a performer than my old flute teacher, so it's more intense and I'm learning so much more.
