  Individual grace-notes are distinct, sequential, and recognizable within all embellishments.  At no point should they overlap, become muddled or re-organized.  
 
  Practice them slowly and openly, gradually increasing your speed without sacrificing correct technique.  Speed should always go hand-in-hand with playing the embellishment absolutely perfect….100% of the time. 
 
Remember, speed can kill.
