 Re: Tongue Position Issues

Because of the shape of front teeth, I play with my mouthpiece slightly twisted to the right. It's not dramatic but it results in my tongue naturally touching slightly to the left of center. However, my articulation (clarity, variety and speed) is probably one of my stronger attributes. People vary quite a lot. The goal is to follow what makes you reach your sound concept the best.

Get someone to listen (are you working with any teachers) or record yourself. Test different ways of holding your tongue and see if you can hear a difference. I know I've spent too many hours chasing what I thought would help but wasn't really necessary.
