Abstract
Description
During the past five years this writer has worked with over 200
trumpet players ranging in ability from the total beginner to the advanced
high school musician. She has found the concept of tonguing to be one of
the most difficult for students to comprehend. While working with these
students she discovered that incorrect tonguing can lead to poor tone
quality, bad intonation, and pitch inaccuracy. These in turn lead to
over-all poor performance and discouragement for student and teacher.
The purpose of this paper is to discuss various methodologies of
teaching correct tonguing procedures and their effectiveness in application.
The topics to be included are: initial attack, importance of
breath support, legato tonguing, staccato tonguing, rapid tonguing,
double tonguing, and triple tonguing.
