How to Improve Tonguing Speed on Trumpet 

The key to that is having a light tongue because when you go fast you want your tongue to not move as much in your mouth as it would at let’s say 100 BMP of eight notes. And keep in mind the louder you play the less of a tongue dynamic you need. So if your playing Forte you Can tongue at Mezzo-piano, there inverses the louder the volume the softer the articulation and the softer the volume the more the tongue must dictate the note.

Great question! Lower notes will require more of a "Tah" and higher notes will require more of a "Tee" because of the position of the back of your tongue when moving between registers. Other than that, the technique will be the same.

Do you have a smartphone? There are a ton metronome apps available (a lot of them for free)

Google has its own metronome you can use

I have an audition with a ton of articulated 16ths at 96 and I’m struggling a ton lol (but also not lol because it’s in less than 2 weeks)

i can barely single tongue it..

@@EgansChannel : Well?, how did it went???

@@Android_Warrior I made first alternate which, for an all-state band, I think is pretty good
