Re: Fat Staccatos

Hi Tan,

A pointed tongue on the tip of the reed. If you do not touch the reed, all you are doing is momentarily blocking the air stream.

Try the syllable tu or ta and see if you have been using a breath attack for everything. The reed should be touched in much the same way for staccato but first find out if there is a more fundamental tonguing issue that needs to be addressed first.
