I'm back to playing seriously after more than a 10 year absence. I'll be starting lessons in the spring, and before then am working on getting whatever chops I had back by working scales and the Rose studies. I'm finding the suggested tempos in many of the Rose studies are way too fast for me. For example: Page 7 in 40 Studies for Clarinet has a tempo of quarter note = 126, and at that tempo my playing is riddled with errors. So far I'm good with a tempo of about half that. I just started that study today and guess I'll just sit on it and notch up the tempo slightly only if I can play it well and with no mistakes at the prior tempo. Any thoughts on that?
