Foreign languages has made me aware of different types of articulation. When playing in an articulate manner we are singing or speaking through the horn. The language helps not only the start and end of a tone, but the "color" in between too!

There is another thread buried here at TM on language vs articulation. probably spurred on by Rafael Mendez's brilliant speed and clarity. The question was if the mother language helps or hurts. What came out I think, was if the mother or father was articulate, the children had a better chance.........

Practice speaking articulately too. If your voice becomes clear and precise, you have an excellent model for trumpet playing. Precision practicing pays off!
