Splitting up into chunks is a good method but you should always land on the first note of the next chunk. For the first chunk the landing note will be Bb. This way your chunks come more naturally and will easier connect to each other.

This is a exactly what I tell my students. Now if I could just get them to actually follow through that would be a completely different story. Kids think that they can play Thru something three or four times and then get it up to tempo and it would sound good. A piece of music does not sound good until it is played correctly

It's been said playing clean will sound faster than playing faster but with sloppiness.

I appreciate you can take the time with one song but how would you suggest learning 5 new tunes for band camp?

And what can I do when I can’t play fast when in notes I have only staccato? I have so important solo but I can’t play that. My tongue is too slow 😫

I'll try to ask. Whether you can help me.
I've trying learning with the low tempo and then moving slowly the tempo up. But after some point I can't go faster. Fingers at some point start messing everything up. I'm going back slower and trying it up again with no progress. I spent trying for about a year almost everyday. No luck. The phrase is in the octave transition from the 2nd to the 1st octave.
