I'll add that there is no better way to learn speed by spending excessive time playing slowly, using only necessary pressure and focusing on relaxation. I shouldn't need to remind you that a metronome is an absolute must.

Speed is based solely on muscle memory. Until you can execute a passage a warp speed, there's no memory involved. It takes time, but this memory can be developed by all physiologies.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
