Re: Proper Embouchure and how to get Ping sound

Hmmm... that brings up a question. Do judges look for a specific sound while they are listening to auditions or recordings? Do they specifically look for a somewhat bright pingy sound, or do they like a more dark rich sound? I understand that they have different preferences but a general guide line would be good.

Also, I had another lesson with a colleague who's majoring in music. We had some practice with tonguing. Apparently, I have a very long tongue and I've been tonguing incorrectly for a long time. What I have been doing is "Anchor tonguing" where I tongue with the middle of my tongue. I should be tonguing with the tip of my mouth. I'm supposedly suppose to make an arch with my tongue but it's really hard for me. I know that everybody's face is different and you have to find your ideal embouchure but is seems almost impossible for me. He told me the trick is to make the german eu sound but when I do arch the tongue like that, it's too low to touch the tip of the mouthpiece. anybody have a similar problem?

Also, apparently, I'm very close to achieving the initial ping that I was trying to get. I just need a balanced reed and some better tonging so when I let go of the tongue, a full stream of air goes through the instrument and gets a full sound. I guess I just hear differently for what other people hear.
