Check out this article 10 Ways to Improve Your Musicianship in 2010.  Great ideas.  Read the article and try to utilize even a few of the ideas into your practice routine this semester!  I think the idea of developing a regular practice time & refining practice skills is a must for continued improvement on a musical instrument.  

I also liked the idea of developing a listening diet.  Try to expand your listening to different genres.  Do a You Tube search on your particular instrument.  Find out who the leading performers are on your particular instrument and make a goal to listen at least once a week to different pieces of literature.  Research the top Wind Ensembles/Concert Band's and find recordings to listen to.  Listen to recordings of the music that we are currently doing in concert band and perhaps find other compositions by the same composers.
