Part Three: "Articulation/Tonguing"

Back to the Routine Index

 

I have developed a very useful system for keeping your articulations in "performance-ready" condition. This system of Numbered Tonguing will enable you to meet any musical demand at any time. Before doing Part Three of the Routine, please review:

Tom's Numbered Tonguing System

Need to check Intonation?

Once you've become familiar with the Numbered Tonguing System, try applying it to these exercises.

You'll want to vary the speed of these. Rossini's Wiiliam Tell Overture and La Gazza Ladra will demand a precise

#7 or #8 tongue, while Berlioz' March from The Damnation of Faust will call for a pure #5 style of tonguing, or perhaps a #6.
