I have an additional question regarding tonguing. I have a beginning student
who moves his entire lower jaw when he tongues. He is moving his tongue way
too much, but there are only so many ways to say "use the tip of your tongue."
He says he does notice it when he watches himself in a mirror, but can't fix
it. Any suggestions? Its easy for me to just to let it go, and wait till he's
older, but I don't like the idea of him developing bad habits from the start.

Thanks in advance,
Tim Zehr
