Tonguing

Hey Manny,

Recognizing that this may simply be something that I need to put some focused practice time into, I was wondering if you had any helpful hints on some tonguing problems.

I am finding that I am have response issues in the middle of phrases but also when I breathe and begin playing again. I am getting a delay in the sound (sort of like T.....ahhh). I find that it is more the case on slower, legato playing.

How do I know if it is a mouthpiece thing, a lip thing or a head thing?

Thoughts?

Thanks,
