So I was practicing today (as one does with the trumpet). When I realized that my tounge was not specifically being used in one place.

I am embarassed to ask this because it is such a juvinile question that it makes me sick. But when you tounge, where does your tounge normally fall? (Putting aside playing with different styles). Generally where does it hit? I noticed that my tounge is beginning to hit my lips!! Should it not hit my teeth? Could I be in the midst of a bad habbit?

Thanks
Eric
