Double tonguing is an important skill to have in your arsenal as a trombonist. There are many different syllables that can be used to create the sound of double tonguing. In this video, I focus on using the syllables Da-Ga-Da-Ga-Da. I demonstrate several exercises both on and off the trombone, ranging from verbally saying the syllables, to practicing scales and arpeggios using double tonguing as the articulation technique. Let’s explore how double tonguing can help us improve our technical facility on the trombone.

I'm in 7th grade and I'm auditioning for a youth orchestra, one of the songs are really fast and this helped a ton! Still haven't quite got the hang of making it sound too good but it helped me a lot with 32nd notes and trills

Did you get in? also how is the audition like for youth orchestras?

@eggthepro2472 Год назад

@@aletheia874 haha didnt expect to see this 10 months later, i’m in 8th grade and got in the youth orchestra for the rest of 7th grade since at the time covid was still prevalent it was through video auditions, one song of choice had to be fast and technical with varied articulations and one had to be lyrical and extremely dynamic to see the full spectrum of skills i’m assuming, i played 2nd chair since high notes would butcher me in 7th grade

Wow. Great tutorial. I have been playing trombone as an amateur for over 40 years. This is the best explanation of how to double tongue AND how to practice it from zero to expert!

Great, I’m glad this video gave you some tools you can use! Thanks for checking it out.

Honestly I think its really cool to see someone who is almost if not entirely dedicating their work on RU-vid to trombones I think I'm just a bit biased to trombones but I still thinks its cool

Trombone is one of the coolest instruments IMO. It's the closest sound to the human voice, there are so many possibilities. Thanks for checking out the content!

Hi...I'm having trouble tounging in my lower bflat down...please I need some some advice how to cope up this problem...thank you

@TheChopsShop 3 года назад

The most important thing to be aware of is, what’s happening with the tongue after it creates the sound of the articulation. Focus on getting the tongue out of the way after you use it so your not blocking the airstream. Worry more about what the articulation sounds like instead of thinking about how it’s executed.

That is a trying exercise. Getting it to sound right is a challenge

@TheChopsShop 3 года назад

Slow and steady wins this race! If you can get it slow, playing it fast will almost be easy. 😉

@mariodavidson4782 3 года назад

Nice videos. I've been working on double and doodle-tonguing with doodling being my main focus. I can say the doodle syllables at a fast tempo, but can't play as fast on a single note when I play my horn. For my double-tonguing, I can play a single note as fast as I can say it but I'm still working on getting the upbeat more separated by playing slow. Thoughts? Thanks

@TheChopsShop 3 года назад

For me the “le” in the doodle syllable is what gives me issues when playing. Da-Ga feels more natural for me but like you said the tricky part is the up beat. The more you practice the “Ga” sound or the off beat syllable, the easier it will be. Practice playing a whole melody or exercise using the up beat syllable. The brain will learn quickly what it is you want. 😉

@d.harrison1570 2 месяца назад

I've been trying to figure out double tonguing on the trumpet for years. I can't figure out how to articulate the letter D or G while buzzing my lips at the same time. Maybe I should play clarinet haha.

@TheChopsShop Месяц назад

If you can say it you can play it. Try to make the vibration of your lips to a secondary thought. Don't think about buzzing your lips at all. Focus on embellishing the airstream with the tongue.

@BirksWerks 2 месяца назад

Thanks so much for showing us this, Deon! An issue I have when double-tonguing, especially when changing partials, is that my jaw and mouth are just moving way too much. What would you prescribe to alleviate any kind of movement like that? Watching you in this video, I definitely don't see any of that movement happening with your jaw and mouth.

@TheChopsShop 2 месяца назад

I think tonguing as an air embellishment. I want my body to function like I'm playing a long tone. To change notes across partials there is very minor movement required from the lips. Try focusing only on the consistency of the airstream. Start with the first three notes of a scale. Try to play those three notes smooth with as little movement in the lips as possible. Add one note in the scale at time without sacrificing your embouchure setup. Hopefully this helps!

Thank you, Deon!

So I am in 10th grade and am thinking about purchasing a new trombone thats a step up from my student trombone. Do you have any suggestions? I play in the schools jazz band.

@TheChopsShop 3 года назад

Get the best instrument you can afford. Don’t think you have to get a brand new trombone. Perhaps look for a used instrument, there’s a lot of inventory out there. If there is a local music store and you’re able to try some different horn sizes, do so and get a feel for the bore size that suits you.

@accage2131 3 года назад

@@TheChopsShop Somewhat. I have an issue with using the syllables and playing the note. When I started playing, it was suggested saying "TAH". I cannot fathom saying TAH and simultaneously playing the note.

@TheChopsShop 3 года назад

If you’re used to using the “T” sound, you might want to start with Ta-ka-ta-ka-ta or tu-ku-tu-ku-tu.

@elmondo033057 10 месяцев назад

Most excellent video, my friend! Are you using only the Ga - Ga syllable when you speed it up, too? It seems like that is to fast to only do a single syllable. I'm picking this up faster, thanks to you, God Bless!

@TheChopsShop 10 месяцев назад

When I speed things up the syllable is “da-ga-da-ga.” I’m glad the information has been useful to you!

@geeza1029 2 года назад

How is the tongu supposed to move because I can’t do it fast and am finding is hard.

@TheChopsShop 2 года назад

Practice saying the syllables off the horn. It’s less important trying to figure out what your tongue is doing. Instead, focus that energy towards creating sound of the articulation you’re going for. Start slowly and don’t speed up until you’re comfortable. Don’t try to control your tongue, it will only slow down the articulation.

@Kyle-iu3br 2 года назад

Whenever I do this I end up making wet/spit sounds into my trombone, especially on the "da" part, how do I fix this?

@Kyle-iu3br 2 года назад

especially when I move my slide or go fast

@TheChopsShop 2 года назад

My advice would be to practice saying the syllables off the horn. Observe what your body is doing and then move to the instrument. The movement of your air should feel like you’re playing a long tone.
