Re: help with "Anchor Tonguing"

I too use the side of the tongue to tongue lighter. I don't anchor tongue, and I have straight teeth (thanks to braces) so I'm guessing that it would work for most people. The only thing I do differently is I keep the clarinet straight in my mouth while just moving my tongue to the side and make it touch where the gums meet the teeth right beside the mouthpiece so that it is barely touching the edge of the reed. It also is farther down the reed which doesn't stop the vibration as much making it a softer tongue.
