staccato tonguing

Hello everyone!

I was just curious what metronome markings people are at for tongue-release staccato ---tonguing sixteenth notes?

Thanks!

If you are studying the basic technique for staccato, then a slow progression of notes is recomended. mm60 per note. Speed is not the issue, but rather the tongue action involved. Hope this helps.

No that's not what I was asking William--but good advice indeed! I was just asking what tempo other people have their tonguing up to, because speed is important once you have the technique under control.

So, please---what tempo are you people at for tonguing staccato sixteenth notes? I'm just curious.

THanks

Julia

16ths at 152 per minute single tongue.

Good for you, D Dow--the best I could ever do was 16ths at 114, single-tongued.

People either "have it" or they don't, I guess.

I think I have mine up to about 132bpm for 16ths
