Starting From Tempo

OCT 11, 2012:   Another way of re-learning a piece of piano music is starting from the original tempo and going slower.  Allow yourself to make all the mistakes you want at tempo, just to find out where they are.  Then go one notch slower and one notch slower, etc. until you reach a performable tempo.  This is where you can prractice, slowly, the really difficult spots.  After they are worked on individually, you can try again, at tempo.

It's not the ideal way to re-learn, but if you've got a deadline, it might be a faster way to get started re-learning, at any rate.
