Re: Not able to play staccato

Maybe, for the sake of clarity, you should either confirm my understanding or explain the distinction you made in your post between "tonguing" and "staccato." If I understood you correctly at the beginning, we can keep talking on that line. If you meant something else, better to clear up what you meant before anyone takes further stabs at causes for your problem.

If you have a teacher, he or she is in the best position to diagnose what's going on. It's hard to talk about this kind of problem in the absence of face-to-face contact. All anyone can do here is describe a general process of articulation and suggest ways you may be getting into trouble. Your teacher should be better able to hear what your specific issue is without as much guessing, although it's still going on inside your mouth and isn't necessarily obvious from the outside.
