| any one got any good tonguing excercises? I've noticed that in my practicing I've mostly focused on my range and now I have problems tonguing notes that I've been able to play for 3 years. I'm working on double/triple tonguing also but it's a slow process and I'm trying to not get fustrated. | ||

A clean and fast single tongue is the foundation for double and triple tongue so youll want to work on your single tongue for a while then add some double tongue exercises later. If you have the Arbans book, open it up to the double tongue section, but play the exercises with single tongue and a metronome. The metronome will help you keep time but if you write down what tempo you play the exercises you can also see the progress you make. I prefer to tongue with my tongue striking my top lip. Many people say to do it behind the teeth but for me tonguing the top lip keeps my embouchure together and my teeth the right space apart. You should experiment with tonging on you top lip. But do it where ever feels natural. |
