Articulate without the mouthpiece, practice just "tonguing" on the airstream. It's great if you can feel a steady stream of air on your hand while doing so. Believe it or not, this exercise made a difference for my "slow tongue!"


I could not agree more. I was taught to do this early in my high school career by my band director, a Clarinet player. I have done this exercise off and on for 15 years now, and it really works! It's also good for developing a steady airstream, if you do it at a flow rate equivalent to playing on the horn.
