Sounding better! Just FYI, I don’t know that you necessarily have to do both forward and backward chaining, just to do it. Or, if you do go back to this passage and want to do some more chaining, I think you could chain one beat or half a beat at a time backwards, so that it’s not one note at a time. But make sure the passage really needs at-tempo practice, and wouldn’t benefit more from some other kind of practice. Perhaps ask yourself the question, what’s the most important thing about this passage that I want to find a solution to – in terms of intonation, sound quality, rhythm, and expressiveness in particular. Because the practice strategy that would be most helpful in finding a solution to that issue might not necessarily be at-tempo practice.
