Subj: [kl] Can't articulate with the tongue...Using throat
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 18:37:39 -0400

I have a young student who had quit band and started back up again. Less
than a year's experience. The student's story is that they were not allowed
to tongue in band but only slur. Now I can't seem to get him to understand
how to use the tongue instead of the throat. When he does try to use the
tongue, he manages to play very flat in pitch. I have suggested that he
support the note with constant air pressure, although I'm not sure he
understands any of these techniques spatially. I appreciate any suggestions
I may offer him to alleviate this problem.
