Looking for 1/16 note help
In my most recent lesson, my teacher said, "Basically, you learned to tongue wrong." (single tonguing) What he meant was that I was using moving too much of my tongue to articulate short notes like the 1/16, and it was interfering with my ability to keep them even in length and make speed when playing them. Such notes should use just the tip of the tongue to break up the air stream. So I am looking for videos that concentrate on clean articulation and technique. Something that will help me develop better articulation habits and get this tonguing with just the tip under my belt .
I would work with my teacher on this, but he is on holiday break until mid-January. He told me to make this one of the things I work on in the interim. That is why I am here looking for pointers and demonstration videos.
