Hi Karl,

Paul is correct. You use the tongue to release from the reed and then quickly return the tongue to the reed all while keeping the air continuous. If done quickly enough the resulting sound should be a short staccato.

I’m guessing I could also be getting tension by trying to apply too much pressure on the reed to stop the vibrations. Maybe I just need to practice haha
