if you were performing it slowly, then practicing slowly is appropriate. Unfortunately, if your performance tempo is not your practice tempo, your muscles won't be trained for the right tempo, your thinking won't be trained for the right speed, and your emotions won't be triggered in the same tempo. Practicing should happen, for the most part, close to the tempo you are going to perform in.

I think that the best way to avoid playing false notes is to practice slowly, note by note most of the time. This slow process will enable us to build up the right reflex, since once on the stage we can only rely on our own reflex to guide our fingers through the miriads of musical notes and passages. Practising slowly is quite efficient really, though very time-consuming.

you guys know the Deeper Piano Studies DVD is only 26 minutes? My friend bought it last year and we watched it together, you can view most of it on youtube.

I enjoy listening to him talk. I guess I'll have another listen to his Alborada. But as I recall it was dry and very intellectual. Not athletic or spontaneous. Not thrilling, not something you would want to hear over and over again. Not something that makes you laugh and cry. But I'll give it another chance. Maybe he is a Jester.

I agree. Wonderful teaching methods.
