Do You Have Trouble with Your Double Tonguing? FluteTips 185

I am not going to talk about the syllables you use when you double tongue.
But does that syllable make a sparkly sound like the closing of a drum set cymbal?
Does the roof of your mouth need a massage when you finish double tonguing?
Here’s how you can learn effortless double tonguing.

Yey! I've been trying to work hard on double tonguing recently and came to all those exact same conclusions through experimentation, so it's great to hear someone else articulating it in a slightly different way. I had a chuckle at the chicken pecking description - yup! I get it! I do find it so hard not to default back to old ways even after discovering better ways of doing things.

[@DoctorFlute]

Glad it was helpful! I am so happy to help. We all revert back to old habits from time to time. Just keep listening to yourself and you will keep doing it correctly.

[@dcallan812]

Great tip, I always found triple tonging easier for some reason I dont know if it was the rhythm but it just came to me more naturally. great video 2x👍

[@DoctorFlute]

True! Thank you!

[@Kndnsssrlgn]

[@DoctorFlute]

Keep me posted!

[@martinswanildo]

A great channel with excellent lessons.

[@DoctorFlute]

Thank you so much!

[@jeromevicogne3990]

Wonderful explanation as usual!
Sometimes, the "bad sound" comes also from the lack of synchronisation with fingers...
For me this is almost the most difficult part. What would you advise to train efficiently on tonguing/fingers synchronisation?

[@DoctorFlute]

Yes, synchronization is a problem as well. That is almost always because the fingers are rushing. The tongue is usually slightly behind. The only help is to start slower with a metronome and work it up to the tempo you want. This way you teach the fingers not to rush.
