I have a copy somewhere of Dave Mallinson's melodeon tutor for absolute beginners. All through the book he urges us to "practice, and when you've finished practicing, practice some more..." sort of thing. It was typed out in the days before you could easily fix things, and at the beginning of the book he added a footnote apologising for typing "practice" so many times when he'd meant "practise."   :-)
