RE: Anchor Tonguing

Author: STuart

I taought myself anchor toungueing and never really came clean about it to my first teacher. When I was seventeen I forced myself to relearn tip to tip style and I gained a lot more sensitivity and ability to vary the articulation. Now I do things that depend on that sensitivity. But I still anchor toungue once in a while for a certain effect. I would recommend seriously investigating the difference in sound you hear before comitting to the anchor. I can't think of any players I know who use this technique as the base of their articulation. How bout you guys?

My teacher taught anchor tonguing too. That was a long time ago. It isn't at all popular today and I have heard some people say that you can't tongue really fast that way.

The so-called "tip to tip" method is the most popular.

I wouldn't think that anchor tonguing would work at all on the oboe. What do you do on it?
