be careful learning to mix purely on phones as itll give you a false sense of stereo image. referencing at different volumes is certainly a fine idea, very low and very high. try leaving a track on, and walking into various rooms of your house, and hearing if anything sticks out or sounds out of place, its probably a nice indicator to back it off in the mix or do some rebalancing. id recommend mixing at a steady volume most of the time so you get used to the actual energy coming out of your monitors and the way your monitors sound at that energy level, then when you feel good about the mix, start listening higher and lower.
and as always, reference, reference, reference!
