Practicing

play through a run
as slowly as necessary
to complete the run perfectly
never force
eventually the speed will come naturally
and with ease
all the while continuing to sound perfect
and relaxed

study the movement
finding the right speed to repeat a run
depends upon what feels comfortable and relaxed
since you do music
for the purpose of feeling comfortable
if it feels comfortable
there is love in it
love is what makes it work
love is what feels good
never forced
soft and gentle
