Play a game with yourself. Like have your friend point at a note and have you say it within a time limit. Start out with easy notes and then harder then speed up your time limit. Once you get really good at that try saying the notename and like 4th line D or second space F or above the staff G within a time limit. Thats what my band directors did for me to learn the notes.

Don't worry playing it slowly is the best thing you can do, I saw an interview with YoYo Ma talking about working on a new piece, when he first gets it it takes him forever to finish playing it the first time because he plays it painfully slow, and then just gradually works it up to speed. I find when we try to start playing fast we can easily miss things like articulation and correct rhythm. When you can play it slow perfectly then move your metronome up a notch. You will eventually get things up to speed.

Sup Kuz! I have a few suggestions:
For Counting:
1. If ur in a band, just try to go to the beat of everyone else. I didn't concentrate on counting for a while and I turned out okay.
2.If ur at home, just tap your foot and go to the beat of the taps. Go slowly at first, and then try to speed up your playing a little bit each time.
For Playing:
Try #2 first, and then try looking at a note spectrum with keying guides if that doesn't work.
Hope This Helps!
