The whole concept is wrong, the technical view is completely wrong. We do not attack a note with the tongue or tip of the tongue, but we articulate by releasing the tone, means opening a valve similar to spray water in the garden using a water hose, closing it with the thumb & open more or less, faster or slower, wider or narrower. If we have repeated note in a faster tempo, we release air by the method described above but we release the impetus/air for every 2nd note by the "g-" or "k-" methode (dda-gga or dda-kka or dda-hha = less good), but we control, that the opening valve is clean & sharp by forming the tongue to a clean & sharp tip & release it from the gum. No spit involved !!
If you form a vowel " concert - u - " or in your language "-oo-", the lips are formed to produce that vowel & are in the wrong position. Does Farkas form an "oo" ? No, have not seen that on his pictures. Wow !! And the use of the "th" in front of the "u"/"oo" makes it worse due to the "hairy" approach. Valery, please do not "broadcast" your half or quarter wisdom or your just read half wisdom always, picked up here & there (that´s the disadvantage of the internet). It is of absolutely no-use for any progress playing the horn. The horn is not a "kochloeffel" !! ########################################################## Am 28.06.2011 um 07:51 schrieb valerie wells: > Q: So, TOL is basically the tip of the tongue between the lips, thus > creating more of a "Thu" sound than "Tu?" > A: Yes.
