When learning to play a musical instrument and practicing a new song, some common advice is to play it as slowly as you can stand, to learn the motions well.

Right, but then you need to learn the right motions well, motions that will make sense at the final speed. I suppose it's one of those things that are made easier by having a teacher.

Or, never play it faster than you can play it perfectly.
