Additional Tonguing Tips: Donât worry about starting the first note with the tongue at first. Add that later after the tongue learns what to do. BUT â donât wait too long, or the first note will always be âheeeâ. Play a whole note first, and then follow with 4 quarter notes. This establishes correct sound before the tongue is involved.
