Thank you 'brycon' for bringing up the criticism of the "slow practice."
Someone about a year ago posted a video of some marvelous "tricks" to practicing fast. The video was made by a violinist making the point that playing something like the Tchaikovsky would be impossible without it. One method was to break things up into just pairs of notes with the first being quick grace note or even a flick that you barely hear..........and other such permutations of numbers of notes and speed of them versus a landing note.
If anyone has the link to that violinist video PLEASE repost.........it is wonderful.
however
If you have fundamental issues of accuracy, then you need to create a BASE LINE with slow practice. If you personally 'brycon' have not had the need for fundamental work or have NOT had success with slowing things down with students, I might suggest you are in the minority......mozel. But I think most of us can benefit from starting from a place of "sure footedness" that can only be achieved in a manner much like a baby taking its first steps, or as Marcellus once described learning how to tongue properly - "It's like potty training."
