My teacher claims that the extraordinarily long length of her tongue is an
advantge - to the extent that tonguing is her favourite activity (well not
quite but she revells in finding it easy to tongue at schumacher-esque
speeds)

What is anchor tonguing?

Also, I can pretty much do the 'gargle-style' roll with the back of my
tongue - but how do you roll r's? I've never managed it clarinet or no
clarinet! (Once when in a workshop I was told to put my tongue near the roof
of my mouth or something - instantly I managed a sustianed roll, but I've
forotten what the advice was and I can't reproduce the ability!) Any tips
would be much appreciated.
