Brian,

I just checked out your homepage...very nice. Being a doubler and playing 3 instruments is an art in itself. Trying to put myself in your place, I would break it down into 4 note segments, work on each one and the transition between the last note of one and the first note of the next four. Then put it all together. If I were the person listening to you audition I would want to hear the music happen, and have it sound effortless. If that means playing it slightly slower so be it. That is better than playing up to tempo and crashing. Eventually you will be able to master it. I am sure you know who Phil Woods is. When Phil auditioned at Julliard they did not accept saxophone, so he auditioned on clarinet. All of the judges thought he was the worst clarinet player they heard that day, but one wise judge voted to let Phil in because he said he had the most talent. Phil got in. He did not stay long because fame and fortune awaited, but that one judge heard his talent and convinced the others to let him in. Sleep on that.
