About Me
- David
- I started playing the trumpet 40 years ago and used the conventional embouchure method (tongue between the lips - both lips vibrate) up until 7 years ago when I learnt about the Superchops method from Jerome Callet. Since then I have never looked back. I play lead trumpet in a local Big Band and am Principal Trumpet with the Hertfordshire Concert Band.

David,
sorry to say it but what I hear here seems to be a tipical "t'ooa" attack on the longer notes. May be the tongue goes back to prepare for the double tonguing or coming from it?
Hope this help.
Greetings,

Hi David,
Double tonguing with the tce setup was a complete mystery to me until I realised that its impossible to have a clean attack with the old method of Tu Ku. I think Jerry calling it a cough is also misleading because for me that involves a Ku syllable. I have found the best way to DT is pronouce Dit-a or di-ta and for triple tonguing di-dit-a or di-di-ta. We all have different views on how it works but this produces lightening speed for me and I dont even have to think about it.
Kind regards,
Marie
