Sweet jesus, 5 hours is too much. 4 is probably the maximum a horn player should do, and even then it likely is too much. It's QUALITY not quantity. Don't practice things you do well. 3 hours is plenty. The only people that really practice 6 hours a day are the button pushers, aka pianists, violinists, etc.
