Timing & context
The memoir explicitly calls this daily practice. Caroline Austen separately places breakfast at 09:00; the practice start and duration are not recorded.
Her nephew and niece describe repeated habits at Chawton. Morning piano practice was regular; evening singing happened only sometimes. Unrecorded clock times and durations are estimated.
1813 is a representative display year selected by Typical Tuesday. The source is a family recollection of recurring habits during her Chawton years, 1809–1817, rather than a timetable for one documented day.
