After including these exercises in just one of my practice sessions, I've already seen progress. I think that, once I go further with this exercise, it will have a marked effect on my playing.

"Here's another idea, and it comes from Roger McKinney of the College of New Jersey. Unlike most other teachers, he suggests tonguing with the "n" or "nu" syllable. I've tried it, and I think it's a very interesting idea. Here's a link: http://www.tcnj.edu/~mckinney/tonguing.htm"
My teacher is also a proponent of this technique, and therefore I've come to use it often, though not when practicing staccato tounging. When playing legato, or staccato at a soft volume, I often begin a series of notes with 'nu,' then separate by bringing my reed to the tongue. Thus, I'm effectively saying 'nut-ut-ut-ut.' Anthony Pay described this style (though with the syllable 'mu') in one of his writings.
