Tongue movement

Author: jonathan.wallaceadams

Hello all,

So, whenever I articulate, the fleshy part under my throat moves. I'm not tightening my throat, and I'm not chewing on the reed, but I want to know how to fix this so I can make my tongue move more efficiently. Any thoughts or methods on how to end this problem?

Thank you,
JW

For this second video, she shows an exaggerated tonguing with her fingers in the beginning, but towards the end, you can hear the short staccato and look at her fingers showing how little her tongue moves.
