Re: Embouchure and articulation

Author: jam12  Date:   2018-08-07 21:31 Thank you so much for responding Mr.Aviles I was afraid this thread was long gone! Okay so from what I understand, my tongue should just be light. Also, to accent a note, my tongue doesn’t attack harder? I get that accent when I just attack the reed harder but from what you said, it should just be my air right? I have some confusion about staccato. For me it is very hard to staccato without completely pressing down on the reed. This is what is causing that weird wispy hissing sound you heard before the notes in the recording. My tongue should also be light in this case but when performing quick staccato notes, how do I prevent myself from just slapping down onto the reed like a rubber band? I will experiment with being light and “staccatoing” quick because right now I am confused. Here’s some videos where I learned tonguing from and it is partly a reason why I am tonguing hard. https://youtu.be/puMrkyPtbrk In this video, she mentions the “whisper technique”. You can hear her articulate clearly. When I try lightly touching the reed, I do not hear anything. However, when I slap my tongue onto the reed or press hardly, I get the sound just like in the video. https://youtu.be/9A5UWX-oiM4 In this video, she teaches staccatoing quick using this rubber band like motion where it seems as if your tongue snaps back. Her demonstration leads me to believe that my tongue should just snap back. However when I do this, I get the strange sound you heard in the video. Alright, I guess that’s it for now. You have no idea how much of a help you have been to me. Thank you so much. Jawad
