Tonguing
Tonguing is a technique used with
wind instruments to enunciate different notes using the
tongue on the
reed or
woodwind mouthpiece or
brass mouthpiece. A silent "tee" is made when the tongue strikes the reed or roof of the mouth causing a slight breach in the air flow through the instrument. If a more soft tone is desired, the syllable "da" (as in
double) is preferred. The technique also works for
whistling. Tonguing (or articulation) refers to how a musician begins the note (punchy,
legato, or a breath attack) and how the note is released (air release, tongued release, etc.) For wind players,
articulation is commonly talked about in terms of tonguing because the tongue is used to stop and allow air to flow in the mouth. Tonguing does not apply to non wind instruments, but articulation does apply to all instruments.
