Build a Smart 30-Day First-Instrument Practice Plan

You bought the instrument. Now what. This turns your daily minutes, your lesson setup and your first target song into a week-by-week plan. Each week has a focus and a clear goal, so you build proper foundations instead of noodling aimlessly and quitting in a fortnight.

I've just bought my first {INSTRUMENT} and want a structured 30-day practice plan that builds real skills without burning me out.

My context:
- I can practise {DAILY_PRACTICE_MINUTES} minutes per day
- I have {LESSON_ACCESS} (e.g. weekly teacher, online course, self-taught)
- My first song goal is: {TARGET_SONG}
- I know zero music theory: {KNOWS_THEORY}

Create a week-by-week plan. Each week should list: one core technical focus, one ear-training micro-habit (under 5 minutes), one motivating milestone to hit by day 7. Format as a table for weeks 1 to 4, then add five practice principles I should follow throughout the month to build good habits from the start.
