 What should the tongue position be for low notes an high notes?  Should it be the same high "E" syllable tongue.  I have a student having problems with scooping high G tongued.  All the other notes are fine and there is no movement in her face.  Thanks.

 Be sure the tip of the tongue is staying near the tip of the reed after articulating.  When it moves away from the reed too much, the scoop will happen - especially on high notes.
