Re: Please supervise my practice

Great to hear that this is a way around the restrictions on people getting together in person. Covid has made learning much more challenging.

I'd add quickly that for the most part you actually do not end a note with the tongue (too abrupt). Stopping a note comes from holding back at your belly (stop blowing). This gives the note a natural taper (much nicer sounding). But this points to the most basic but also most important part of wind playing. You need to keep the pressure (pushing from your belly) through a phrase, whether there is a note or not. My advice about articulation is a description of what happens all at once between two notes played in succession (like the first two notes of Twinkle). It is better to think of articulating that moment with the idea that you "place the tongue" on the reed and then immediately withdraw to start the reed vibrating again for the next note. "Hitting" the reed with the tongue is too violent and leads to a knocking sort of sound between notes......not good. Just wanted to prevent that from developing since most of us refer to that as an "attack."
