The Best Trumpet Tonguing Technique 

My first trumpet teacher didn't teach any tonguing or embouchure, so these basic videos are great for fixing my chops and playing!

Your room with the skull and "tongue" reminds me of those magic shops where you buy a trick and go in the back to "learn the secret" 🙂

Finally an explanation and demonstration!!!!. I'm just started and don't have a teacher so watching RU-vid. I'm only able to get several lower notes but a note like g above middle c is difficult. Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks for sharing ❤❤

Best explanation EVER

Awesome tips! 😊👍 I will get my ptrumpet Hytech in a couple of days. I bought a trumpet last year, but gave up because I struggled so much with the embouchure. I will try again, but have more patience and use more time this time. 😊 I think I returned the trumpet because my expectations was so high. I never thought it was so hard to learn to play. I will use a lot of time and gradually be better by following great guides like this. 😊

That was helpful. I've been finding articulation a little challenging. I'm gonna be trying that out.

My first trumpet teacher told me to anchor my tip of the tongue on top of my bottom lip, because the lips produce vibration, and not the teeth.

Thank you for great explanation and example of how different D and T tonging sound makes. My son recently had to change his trumpet teacher and the teacher was teaching my son with “D” tonging and the former teacher was teaching with “T”. My confusion was gone thanks to you! Thank you.

Buenísimo, muy bien explicado y muy útil!!!

好棒，讲的太透彻，学习了

Very usefull one

Great video! It remind me to my first lesson many years ago with my first teacher (without the skull and the fake tongue 😂). What do you think about the anchor tongue? Ten years ago I moved to this type of tonguing. I also met some players using tongue through teeth and they play great!

Thank you for this great video 👍🏼👍🏼. If I may ask a question. How should I finish my note? Cut air with tongue? Or with air stream? Or both?

Thankyou sir

Interesting. I generally keep the tip of my tongue behind my bottom teeth. I then use the area just behind the tip of my tongue to touch the soft pallet for tonguing.

I've always instinctively played with the tip of my tongue touching/resting against my front bottom teeth. That's actually how I say my Ts and Ds, so I never realised that wasn't the norm until quite recently. My playing is fine, so I don't think it's causing me any issues. I'm trying to learn to tongue "normally", mostly to improve my flutter tonguing (I have no intention of actually switching), but I find that whenever I try to play high or loudly with this method, I get air escaping under my bottom lip, which of course ruins pretty much every aspect of my playing. Is there a trick to stop this from happening, or is the answer just to keep practising? Edit: If it matters, I don't sound like I have a speech impediment - it all sounds perfectly natural when I speak, so I guess it makes complete sense that I would sound significantly more natural tonguing like that than 'normally'. Also I just watched your new video on this style of tonguing. Idk if I inspired it or not (I almost certainly didn't but I can dream) but I enjoyed it either way! Thanks for acknowledging that this style exists.

This Video? 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺

Bob. I need help. I can’t seem to put THE PARADE TO THE POST together. Is that tonguing sequence similar to going down on your girlfriend.

Meatbag!! You are a fan of the KOTOR battle droid, are you not?
