Subj: anchor tonguing
Date: Tue, 11 Apr 1995 23:57:52 -0400

My question is about anchor tonguing. I do it and I have the hardest time
tonging really, or even moderately fast. I find myself slowing down in tempo in
passages because of my "inability" to tongue. A collegue of mine could super
fast tongue, but she can't control it most of the time which makes it very
difficult when we play together in orchestra. I have tried practicing tonguing
at the tip in slow exercises, but I always find myself going back to my old
way. Does anyone else have this problem? I would appreciate comments. Thanks.
