Problems Changing from Anchor Tonguing

Author: Contra

About two months ago during band class, I realized the middle of my tongue was hitting the reed. I thought about it and realized I've been doing it since sixth grade. I'm about to be in twelth grade. Since I could play the songs well by doing it, I haven't stopped yet. Now that summer is here, I've tried to start playing in the tip-to-tip way. The problem is that I can't get a tone by doing it; all I get are squeaks. I've tried it on soprano, contra-alto, and on alto saxophone, but no luck. I searched on it, but couldn't find anything to help me. Does anyone have any suggestions?
