 Re: Anchor Tonguing

To me the issue is to have your tongue as relaxed as possible. When i try to articulate with the tip of the tongue i feel, that i have to keep my tongue crooked upwards and it gets very tense and that in fact makes the articulation significantly slower. In my anchor tonguing my tongue doesn't touch the lower teeth, the tip of the tongue just happens to touch lightly my lower lip. My main concern isn't to anchor the tongue anywhere, but trying to get the ideal part of the tongue to touch the reed to an ideal position. And that is a T not a D to almost the tip of the reed. I have no problem having a clear articulation. I could even say, that with T toungeing it's very easy to get different kinds of an attack by variating the shape and size of the area of your tongue touching the reed. The clearness of the attack is more a breathing technique issue.
