Re: Tonguing Trouble

S-
Try this: if you can roll your R's or flutter tongue, try flutter tonguing whole scales. Softly. Also try this while buzzing the mouthpiece. The idea is that good "popped" articulations are placed similar to the flutter tongue placement. Also, in the Arban book, on those little sycopation etudes, try flutter tonguing certain notes or beats within the bar.

It will take a few weeks, but you sound like you're pretty patient.
