I don't see how one can anchor tongue without moving the part of the
tongue most responsible for voicing the sound. This causes, in the
students I have heard, high notes to have wild-sounding attacks with
pitch fluctuation at the beginning of the note. Could an experienced
anchor-tonguer out there explain how it can be done and keep the pitch
steady?
