I have a question. Say that someone is learning to increase their speed, but they have bad habits as to how their right hand moves. Wouldn't going slowly for such a long period of time kinda consolidate that bad habit? I say this because we can get away with all kinds of unneccesary movements when we play slowly and it's only when we go up to a fairly high speed that those movements start to really hamper us. For that person, would it be of more benefit to practice at both slow and fast tempos in each practice session?

Thanks for the little article, Tom! I've actually read it before somewhere.
