Dont be embaressed about asking any question here. We all have playing issues and weaknesses and part of the purpose of this forum is to help each other improve.
I agree with what Manny said. Personally I anchor tongue, but dont teach kids that way. I just sorta stumbled onto it naturally and it seems to work best for me.
As Manny said, Work on consistancy, but dont worry about what you are physically doing too much. I find when I do worry about a problem too much I wind up with what Messers Herseth and Jacobs refer to as "Paralysis by analysis." and all tied up in knots.
Really listen to your playing maybe even tape it and listen for every note to sound the same the attack the same regardless of the syllable you use. I use and teach tu or too. Also make sure that the air doesnt stop while tonguing the air keeps moving the tongues just interrupts the air for a micro-second for the attack.
Hope this helps
Franklin
