One of my practice books is "Melodious and Progressive Studies, Book 1" (David Hite). In it, typically there is a suggested tempo, which I take to be a "goal", but not necessarily achieveable before going on to the next study.
For example, I am currently working on his D Major study, and the suggested tempo is quarter note = 88.
There are a whole series of 16th notes in this study, and I am lucky to play these notes "well" at a quarter note = 60, let alone 88.
What would you advise a student to do in this case...practice until he/she can get to 88, or would you advise practicing at as fast a tempo as practical within a reasonable period of time, and then going on to the next study (if I have to get to 88, I believe I will be on this study for a loooooong time).
