This is an older article by Tom Ervin, trombone professor at the University of Arizona. It really gives a nice breakdown of what to expect from different levels and amounts of focused practice. There's also a link to other great articles as well.

I found this article a few years ago, and I refer to it often when I have trouble getting motivated to practice. I hope you like it.

it depends on our rehearsal and gig schedule, but I usually get in 3-4 hours a day. If it's a day off, with no gigs or rehearsals, I generally do more. Whatever the schedule allows.

That's great, but make sure it's quality, focused practice, not just noodling of playing what you already know. Have a plan.
