I have a really hard piece to play sometime soon(nightengale polka) and I can't play it...it seems like my sister(been playing since 4th grade now 24 and still playing) nor my band teacher can help me. What should I do?

well what i suggest is what i use. See, I am getting ready to play a telleman piece (suite in a minor?) and that goes ver fast, and slow.

What i suggest is to go over a little section at a time, and play till u get it right. If that means changing the tempo from 140(?) to 60, do it, it will help. Work your way up!!

well just practice at a lower speed and work your way up!! thats what I do when I can't play a hard peice I slowly go a little faster each time I can play that speed and get a little faster!
