Tonguing Secrets - Sean Jones | 2 Minute Jazz

Open Studio artist Sean Jones goes over some of his keys to
tonguing on the trumpet, and exercises he does to practice.


====================================================================================


What's up everybody? Sean Jones two-minute jazz here. This is not
necessarily related to jazz, but related to pedagogy. I'm gonna
talk about tonguing a little bit. Specifically multiple tonguing.


I like to do different multiple tonguing in my practicing, also
on my solo playing. Alright, double tonguing, triple tonguing.
Now the way that I practice that is I like to isolate the
syllables of the


double tongue, okay, tew and kew, alright? Tewkoo, tewkoo,
tewkoo, tewkoo tew.


So I'll just isolate the tew, and then I'll play the back end of
that which is the koo. Notice I'm saying koo, not kuh. Okay, kuh
is a little too far in the back for me. I like to say koo because
it's more forward. And I try to make that sound exactly like the
single tone.


Okay so, that was just the koo. Now I like to do it backwards.
kootew, kootew, koo.


Alright, trying to make that sound like the tew and the koo
syllable.


Now we come along and we do the tewkoo, the regular way that you
would do double tounging.


Single, or the tew.


The koo.


Backwards.


and forward. Tewkoo.


Trying to get them to all sound the same and that's a great
workout for your tongue. Get the muscle working. Works out
different parts 


of the tongue and then it also helps with your jazz
articulations. So I hope that helps. Thanks.
