RE: Flutter tongue...

The technique I use is to kinda roll your tongue up into a tube (straw) ,
which, by the way, is a genetically inherited trait. Then I bend it in
the middle like I was gonna sorta roll it the other way. I almost touch
the top of my mouth with the tip of my tongue, and blow out. Voila!
Vibrations! The top of the mouth is replaced by the reed when you're
playing.
You're probably totally confused. Don't worry. It took me a long time
to learn, and everyone probably had their own technique. Good Luck!
