| I always try to think of a constant stream of compressed air, with the tongue "bouncing" up to it. The airstream never stops, but is interrupted for the smallest possible time as the tongue flicks up to the back of the teeth. When the tongue hits it should be immediately "blown" back from whence it came by the strength of the air column.
In my experience, sloppy tonguing more often than not results from not enough compression in the airstream. Practice Clarke studies slowly, concentrating on maintianing the air column.
Hope that helps you - good luck! |
