Help me play fast

(you can use any "fast" tempo to answer this question) Many things slow down when your 65. I'm a "young" 65, and a returning trumpeter that never liked playing fast, and never had a good teacher to help me with that aspect of playing. I know the main advise at these moments is for TMers to say GET A GOOD TEACHER. Why should I! I have some of the best teachers right here...I'm kidding. So i'm hoping my TM teachers will share their wisdom: What type exercises to practice, how to practice them, technical approach (lips, breath, finger technique, finger position, etc.), mental approach, tricks. OR IS IT TOO LATE FOR AN OLD BRAIN TO COMMAND THE FINGERS?................crow
