| syllables
The standard use of different syllables (according to T. Dokschitzer) is taa for the low register, too for the middle and tee for the high register. However thay may be some exceptions. The reason for using different syllables is to enable the player to poition diferently the tongue inside the moth when playing. Some times intonation problems may be solved by using different syllables tha the usual for the correspondant register. Their use may depend as well on the length of the tongue and the constitution of the mouth. Other syllables used bu trumpter are po (soft articulation) and ka, ku, ki (double tnoguing) and ra (this was used in the barock time, and it may be still in use by nat trumpeters - I am not expert in this area, so I wont comment). There may be other type articulation used by jazz trumpeters. I hope this will help.
