[TPIN] Secondary students?

Steve,
If he can flutter tongue, have him try that. It'll get him used to the general area where the tongue will go.

Worth a shot...

Greetings,

As a college trumpet teacher, I sometimes teach music ed students on their
secondary instrument.  One such student is a clarinet/bass clarinet player
and he is having trouble adapting to a different style of tonguing on the
trumpet.  I can get him to tongue clearly without the instrument, using
what I call "air tonguing", but when the mouthpiece hits his face, he
reverts to a "dooh" or "thooh" sound.

Any suggestions and/or techniques?  I haven't had this problem with a
woodwind player before.

Thanks,

Steve
