Re: Lightening Up My Tongue

>>Though as much as I do not believe corner tonguing to be a legitimate method for long term everyday tonguing I went ahead and asked about the subject with the IDRS in hopes of further insight of the legitimacy of corner tonguing as an acceptable method and where it may have come from.<<

Stephen did indeed pose this question about corner tonguing to the IDRS list, and the responses have been pouring in.

I am quite surprised (you too, Stephen?) to learn that in the opinion of some very senior oboists on the IDRS list that "tonguing on the corner of the reed" is something many of them were taught at Eastman, and find effective. (I had thought it was a discredited idea . . . but apparently not.)

The idea is that you turn the reed slightly, to make the lower right hand corner more "available" to the tongue. The benefit is said to be an ability to tongue more rapidly, and with a softer effect.

This I gotta try.

Thanks for appealing the question to the higher court, Stephen.

Susan
