hey manny, i have been thinking about how one should go about practicing and came to 2 general points. one is to play it slowly with no mistakes and gradually build up speed over time and the other is to dive right in cleaning it up later. an example could be the clarke third study, on the 3rd and 4rth pages with the lip slurs, i can do it fast but i use bad technique in my embrosure...or i can do it slow correctly but not be up to speed. which way has worked for you in the past? i have teachers that either say one or the other. thanks...patrick
