Q: hey so im practicing with a metronome and it's just stupendous. i'm at a place where i can totally foresee results beyond anything in my wildest dreams.  my question is, is it better to deal with whatever problems i have with that tempo AT that tempo? or should i go back 15bpm and work back up to it? i did the latter for the past couple of days and it didn't feel like i was actually improving at that tempo. but hey, i also leave for a couple hours and come back better for no reason so maybe that is making me better in ways i don't understand. it would just help to know im in a somewhat right direction.
A: the trick is to start at a very slow tempo, slow enough so you can get it right 10 times in a row. when you get it right 10 times in a row, increase by 1bpm. only 1. then when you get it right 10 times in a row, increase by 1 more
