That's all it takes.  And make your practice time count.

Other tips:

Tape record your practicing, and then go back and listen to it with the 
music to pick up your mistakes.

Play duets with your teacher.  There's a lot to be said for ensemble 
experience, and this is a place to start-- you'll be able to rely on a 
teacher's strengths somewhat in tempo and continuity.

There are some inverted chords there all right.
