Hello,

Ghitalla used what he called "thick" or "anchor" tonguing. I remember him saying it like "thit" with the "th" sounding a little like a "D". He wanted me to anchor the front part of my tongue to my bottom teeth. The way I understood this was that "thit" helped keep a better tongue position than something with an "oo" or a "u".
Hope this helps. Lets get some other input from former Ghitalla students on this.

Thanks
Tom
