Hello list,
       Even though im not a pro or an amatuer, just a Highschool student, i 
agree with Mr. Evans on this. I would think that by slowly practising and 
slowly speed up these difficult quick fingerings it helps and IS NOT a waste of 
time. It almost becomes etched in your brian. If you have your embouchre 
cordinated with the playing but your fingers arent together, it wont sound right. It 
will sounded muddy and unclear and unpleasing for that matter. Even if your 
putting rubbish together with your fingers while playing a fast part, the same.
       Why should it be a waste of time? If you have trouble with quick 
fingering and take it slowly, and "hammer it in" and it WORKS... nothing is wrong. 
If it works WHY is it a WASTE?  You can't run before you learn how to crawl.
       We look for what works for us. If it isnt broken, dont fix it. 
       Do whatever method works for you...I think this one works for me and 
most of the people I know.

       All the best,
       Michael Kolaghassi
